hot tub time machine (2010)

Liked this a lot. Crispin Glover's performance is a joy. And impressively physical.

the bounty hunter (2010)

Jennifer Aniston as a journalist and Gerard Butler as the ex-husband ex-policeman bounty hunter. Totally worked for me. Maybe I would have liked Jason Sudeikis's part written as a more subtle example of someone Jennifer Aniston could not date. Good to see Siobhan Fallon again. Her part was written so broad but her line deliveries make it all worthwhile.

world on a wire (fassbinder, 1973)

Made for German TV. Concerns a company which has set up their computers to run a world modeled on our own so as to research in what ways our world may change in twenty years' time. Gorgeous. Great set design and camerawork. Klaus Löwitsch is impressively physical and loves to jump onto / over / down from things instead of taking the slightly longer way around.

advice for the lovelorn (1933)

Lee Tracy is an impressive actor to watch. Lots of quickfire robust facial changes. But his movies are missing something. Something like soul. They're different from Cary Grant movies, which somehow focus the truth and beauty of the world.

an american werewolf in london (1981)

The plot is somewhat beside the point. The plastic pleasures here are many. The film just has a great warm clean look to it. David Naughton and Griffin Dunne. And a hot nurse.
