Rooney Mara is especially good as Therese.

I enjoyed Carol. Was a good movie. Best thing I can say is that it had some great scenes, and a wonderful Rooney Mara performance. Worst is that it was very straightforward and at times a little dull.

Have started Brooklyn now. Final movie on my list of movies from 2015. Been waiting to see this one. Will go to bed soon though, so just half an hour today.

There's something to this, but I think it's also partly a function of age. Maybe I didn't understand something when I was 23 but now that I've had my heart broken and I've been to Texas or whatever I might understand it. Or I loved something when I was 19 but now I'd just find it saccharine. One changes and experiences a lot in one's youth. But we slow down in time. If I see something at age 35, I feel confident I'd feel similarly about it at 45.

Maybe at 45 you'll feel differently

"Crater" is a smartly-written family sci-fi movie with a lot of heart, watch it with your kids (it might be a bit slight for very little ones)

To Catch a Killer. Wow! Great thriller, really well made. Way better than try-hard Wild Tales.

We’ll see, I’ll add it to my shortlist.

Brooklyn was excellent. Really sweet movie. Well made and well acted as well.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Allegiant
First movie of 2016. Pretty poor. Might be the worst of the mainstream YA movies of the 2010s.

Independence Day: Resurgence
Saw this in the cinema, was a real disappointment. Always enjoyed the first one. I will give the sequel another try today.
Have also watched Magnus, In A Valley of Violence, The Duel, Sausage Party, Dyrene I Hakkebakkeskogen, Welcome To Norway, Fantastic Beasts, Bad Neighbors 2, Miss Saigon: 25th Anniversary, Børning 2, Brimstone and London Has Fallen from 2016 already this year.
Saw Risen and Silence last year, so won’t rewatch them in 2023.

It’s pretty poor, and yet the best of the two movies today. Excluding a handful of poor b-movies that I didn’t like, I have actually rated three 2016 movies worse than this one, Tarzan, 5th Wave and Allegiant. Not planning on rewatching the other two anytime soon.
