Pulp Fiction

4/4 stars

Never duplicated, this movie blends early 90s dialogue heavy indie with the feel of 60s and 70s crime films and truly lives up to its name. Incredibly well written, directed, photographed and acted. In short, everything is dead on.

Batman & Robin

0.5/4 stars

What a piece of shit. I can't call it the worst comic book movie ever made, because I don't want to trudge through its competition, but it's easily the worst big budget, big hype comic book movie I've ever seen. If I seem overly wary of the genre at times, this movie is probably the reason why.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend

2.5/4 stars

Good and not so good in almost equal measure here. Good: Thurman, Rainn Wilson, Anna Faris. Disappointingly off their game: Luke Wilson and Eddie Izzard. Always unbearable: Wanda Sykes. I do like to see a world with superpowered characters in it where it's still made clear that the superbeings aren't the center of everyone's lives. My favorite part might be the banter between Wilson and Wilson that reflects this.
