Trying to lessen the number of times I say, “What the hell was the name of that movie I just watched?”

The Sheep Detectives
★★★★★ Liked Watched

I full-on sobbed no less than four times. We then went to a bar immediately after where my fiancé was worried that he looked like a real piece of shit.

Interstellar
★★ Watched

I’ve had this movie on my list for over a decade, and I think I should have watched it a decade earlier.

Plan B was WAY too absurd for me. I simply could not imagine feeling so strongly that the human race needs to continue. Also, *love* is some sort of tangible, measurable force that tethers us all together, even through the various nightmare holes found in space? Wowzers. But I guess 2014 was a different time.

I also frankly do not have enough knowledge of space and time, or of positive father-daughter dynamics, to appreciate this film.

Independence Day
★★★★½ Watched

Unapologetically brazen one-liners? The quaintness of an earnestly principled president? That end scene where Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum are strutting across the sand smoking cigars? Goddamnit I miss the 90’s.

Manchester by the Sea
★★½ Watched

I respected this film but also the score was so distracting and annoying that I literally almost turned it off, so… 2 1/2 stars feels right?
