2013 Movie Log

29apr13: The Source Family

30apr13: Midnight’s Children

06may13: The Great Gatsby

Continuing with the nerdy experiment I began in 2012, I’m keeping a record of every movie I watch in the 2013 calendar year. Links are to Philadelphia City Paper reviews or Tumblr blurbs. Latest CP review(s) will be featured above. For those who do not know (i.e. you are not a friend I have conned/guilted into attending a screening with me), the movies I review tend to feature one or some of the following elements: ninjas, vampires, aliens, ghosts, robots, zombies, wizards, Asians, Gossip Girl cast members, Jason Statham, gun-loading montages, car explosions/car bombs, regular explosions, the dramatic closing of a dead person’s eyelids, swords, Judd Apatow’s involvement, time travel, parkour/capoeira/both, arcane “magick” with a K, talking animals, flying spacecraft, characters with multiple personalities, Sean Bean, the “turn in your badge and your gun” scene, terracotta statues that come to life, terrible CGI, female protagonists who are as sexy as they are deadly, teens with superpowers, Mark Wahlberg.
