Mini-Review: Can we all just agree that Jessica Chastain is a paragon of virtue? I'd let that woman ruin my life, I don't give a shit.
Mini-Review: I always think that the female leads in Chaplin films are the same woman, but they never are. Specifically, I thought that this one was from The Circus, who I thought was also in The Gold Rush. NOPE! THREE DIFFERENT WOMEN! I guess I'm just racist against bitches born in 1900.
Mini-Review: ALRIGHT!!! Enough! I saw the fucking movie. Can we all get on with our lives now?
Mini-Review: Automatically, we're watching an artifact of history. It's impossible now to experience the film on an emotional basis if you don't have clear memories of the Cold War. Even through a historical and intellectual lens, I didn't learn anything. Maybe those dummies in the mid-60s didn't know what happened in a nuclear explosion, but I feel like everybody understands it clearly today.
Mini-Review: There's subtle, but this is kind of over the edge. When Catherine Deveuve has anything to do she's pretty good, but the stone-faced staring when she's around other people got old pretty quick. I don't know whether to blame the actress or the director, but this film - which is good - could have been a lot better if we had a protagonist with some depth to her.
Mini-Review: I don't like it when people get kicked in the ass in these movies. It's supposed to be hilarious, but it looks kinda painful to me. It's the only cartoonish violence that rubs me the wrong way. Have you ever been for real kicked? It fucking hurts!!
Mini-Review: Hey, it's The Transvestite. I need to re-watch Rocky Horror now.
Mini-Review: I started this new game while watching movies where I wordlessly scream at the top of my lungs every time I'm uncomfortable. My throat is so sore right now. It wouldn't be a bad movie if Rob Reiner wasn't such a fucking sap.
Mini-Review: The father is a bit of a creep, and the mother looks a lot like a blonde Michelle Bachmann. I wish the film were a bit more about the nature of abstract art, and less about the identity of the artist.
Mini-Review: This movie should have been called 'LET'S GET TOPICAL, Y'ALL!"
