November Numbers
November was a slow month. Lots of stuff happening. 30 Minutes or Less might be the unfunniest comedy of the year. Coupled with Your Highness, Danny McBride further confirms that he shouldn’t do movies.
Bellflower continued to impress upon second viewing. I really enjoy that movie and don’t see it leaving my top ten of the year. Cowboys & Aliens is my biggest disappointment of the year. How can that movie be so freaking boring? It’s cowboys fighting aliens.
Fright Night is the best horror film I’ve seen this year. It’s an improvement over the original is so many ways. Beginners is another solid film that came out of nowhere to impress. If I listed my top 20 films of the year, it would be there.
This year I've seen 426 movies.
