Pawn Sacrifice

The movie experience was like watching people playing chess--heavily-made-up people playing chess.

Tobey Maguire was fine, I guess (in a very Tobey Maguirey kinda way), but who I really would have loved seeing tackle this role: Andrew Garfield.

Black Mass

This was pretty rough to sit through: a long string of  violent crimes, plus Johnny Depp's makeup.

It would have been nice to have a palate cleanser at the end, like a Jackie-Chan-style reel of hilarious outtakes.

Robot and Frank

Old man gets constant stimulation from a special electronic friend.

It's a really great movie, though not nearly as hot as I am making it sound.
