Taco Press: February 2015
http://tacopress.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 1, 2015. The Last 10 Movies I Watched. King Vidor, 1931, USA, 86 min.). Viewed on DVD First Viewing. This sentimental tearjerker about a washed-up alcoholic boxer (Wallace Beery) and his adoring son (Jackie Cooper) became a hit due to the undeniable chemistry between its two stars. Despite its vaunted reputation, King Vidor’s film is a fairly generic old-fashioned weepie, distinguished only by Beery and Cooper’s charismatic performances. C. Paul Thomas Anderson, 2014, USA, 148 min.).

Tuesday, June 9, 2015. The Last 10 Movies I Watched. Avengers: Age of Ultron. Joss Whedon, 2015, USA, 141 min.). Viewed Theatrically First Viewing. It’s telling that the only time that the film truly comes to life is during one of its few moments of downtime, when the plain-clothed superheroes are sharing jokes at a party. C.

Thursday, April 16, 2015. The Last 10 Movies I Watched. Neill Blomkamp, 2015, South Africa, 120 min.). Viewed Theatrically First Viewing. Neill Blomkamp’s tale of an artificially intelligent and emotive robot harkens back to the style of his acclaimed debut District 9. 2009) The director’s skill at combining utterly convincing CGI with documentary-style location shooting remains impressive, but feels less distinctive the second time around.
