The Circle (James Ponsoldt, 2017) -- 2/5
A 2-hour TED talk about why privacy is bad, I mean good, I mean bad? And about why freedom is good, I mean bad, I mean good? 

The Thing (John Carpenter, 1982) -- 5/5
"Nobody trusts anybody now, and we're all very tired." What a horror and wonder to behold. 

Misery (Rob Reiner, 1990)-- 3.5/5
I never knew Rob Reiner directed this. Who would've thought huh. Anyway, my sphincter still hasn't unclenched.

The Unknown Girl (Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne, 2016) -- 3/5
I was disappointed with the third act. It relied far too much upon conveniences for the plot in order to find a proper conclusion. 

Kidnap (Luis Pietro, 2017) -- 1.5/5
Fun drinking game: take a shot whenever Halle Berry screams 'Oh God' and runs after something. You'll be plastered before the end of the first act.  

Dead Ringer (Paul Henreid, 1964) -- 3/5
"Let's get Bette all middle-age sexy with Malden, then bring on the pathos!" A good premise, I must say. 

Lemon (Janicza Bravo, 2017) -- 1/5
Ugh, the oppressive quirkiness. The oddness...so THICK. The whole movie works against itself in every regard. 

Force Majeure (Ruben Ostlund, 2014) -- 4/5
A stunning examination of masculinity and how one split second decision made under duress can change a family unit. Authentic performances, restrained direction, gorgeous cinematography. A movie that tells a lot by doing little. 

Rough Night (Lucia Aniello, 2017) -- 3.5/5
White girl version of Girls Trip meets Very Bad Things (1998). A generic-looking comedy with a million dick jokes, but surprisingly a decent studio comedy with a million dick jokes.
