An update on my effort to get through all the (good) cinema of 2011 while unencumbered by wife and kids; the rest of the films I was able to watch this weekend:
Poetry: This is a foreign film about an old woman struggling to write her first poem, which is probably the kind of story that gives studio executives nightmares. But it’s actually good. Really good. Grade: A-
The Future: Cool movie, but a little too quirky to be great. It’s tough to get invested in a film where nothing emotional is ever at stake. Grade: B
Pearl Jam Twenty: The first half reminded me why Pearl Jam is such a great band. The second half reminded me why I haven’t listened to a Pearl Jam album from start to finish in about 10 years. Grade: B
