Watched some movies over the weekend that we chose to bypass in theaters:

Capsule review: A little too much Hanks (Colin AND Tom), but John Malkovich and Emily Blunt are very good. A fun, witty script with lots of 70s references, so I was in heaven. Pleasantly surprised. Recommended - it’s an enjoyable film.

Capsule review: A little too much Clooney and I’m not a big fan of Jason Reitman, but good performances and a smart script (”I like a party that feels like The Riddler might crash it”). The corporate layoff sadness made me think of one of those films from the Depression that depicted onetime socialites who have become hobos. Really a documentation of our troubled times.

Capsule review: A pretentious independent movie that thinks it’s way hipper and cuter than it actually is. Horrible.
