Charlize Theron always does a great job.* And the new Max seemed dumber (but wasn't) and definitely crazier.

Inherent Vice. Lotsa fun and reminded me how stone(d)age funky the 70's were. Of course, I live in California, and therefore still see such people on a daily basis. 9/10

*PS Have you ever seen her in Monster? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0340855/

Yes, I've seen "Monster".  Hard to describe the impact that move had on me.  Charlize was phenomenal in it...and I hated her.

Maps to the Stars. Hard to know what score to give this one. It's David Cronenberg so, ya know... ya kinda expect whatcha get. These are deplorable people one and all* and if 50% of the "stars" today are even remotely as bent up as these folks then it's no wonder we get the level of films that Hollywood churns out. Think Day of the Locust (film) played for dark laughs and sun-shiny anxiety and neurosis.
So... what score? 7.5/10 for film creation and a great cast and 4/10 for some deeply dislikable people.
Did I mention that I live in California?  ;)

* Except for the role played by Mia Wasikowska.

Check out A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, a new Iranian vampire movie by Ana Lily Amirpour which is pretty good. I see a lot of film influences in it--Tartovsky (via Kiarostami), Lynch, a peppering of Jarmusch... and a light salting of Wenders. Gorgeous black & white with a cool soundtrack. Fun. 8/10

For what I could hear in the trailer it's Ennio Morricone.  ;)

^ Yep. Hollywood doesn't know the difference bewteen hackers n' crackers; film thinks it's wise cuz it seems to know about black/white/grey hats.

Kafka (1991). No score. Small kafkaesque* potatoes--sort of like an American in Prague who can't read the can labels and thinks he's buying pearl onions and ends up with mini-taters instead. Did the writer even read Kafka? Did Soderbergh? Great cast though.

* Small "k" intended.

 ^ I thought of that while I was watching.
I love the way each story develops quickly and so economically. And quickly becomes more and more absurdist.
