Understandable, but this is probably my absolute favorite bad movie of the decade. Pure fun schlock that is a joy to laugh at and with. More people have seen <i>Serenity</i> for, presumably, the same reasons and that came out this year! I will champion <i>The Hurricane Heist</i> to my dying breath as a great stupid movie!

It's only recently that I've been thinking about <i>The Comedy</i> more with some people citing Heidecker in this as one of the great performances of the decade. It's portrayal of the hipsters of its day has twisted in time to be more of a portrait of affluent, bored, numb white males and now the third act is even more fascinating.

From this year, but <i>Plus One</i> is part of a long line of this decade's <i>When Harry Met Sally</i> imitators (i.e. <i>Sleeping with Other People</i> which I love dearly), thus making me a sucker for it. Maya Erskine kicks ass in this though.

A light and breezy rom com that is less about the "will-they-won't-they" but more about engineering that narrative. Mostly though, <i>Maggie's Plan</i> is part of a long standing tradition of movies where its about a bunch of New York intellectuals being dumb. Phrases like "Don't have a baby with the pickle man" uttered with sincerity. I have a soft spot for Gerwig, Hawke, intellectuals, and New York, so this is an absolute winner.

There's two elements that make me love <i>The Lure</i>: The totally bumping soundtrack and it's dedication to telling a fairy tale with all the dark horrible mythology attached. A kooky musical along the lines of <i>Phantom of the Paradise</i>, but played less for laughs and leans more into fantasy.

You guys slept on this whirlwind of mania, egotism, regret, and fulfillment delivered in almost Shakespearean monologues. It's a pretty traditional narrative if you're familiar with the fame and fortune story, but <i>Her Smell</i> is told a lot like <i>Steve Jobs</i> where each act usually takes place in one location. It's big stressful cinema.

Weird, experimental, and, like I said before, really dig smart people being dumb. You can engineer a machine to make all the right moves, but that doesn't mean you will. It starts out as fairly documentarian, but descends into a sort of madness by the end.

From my review earlier this year: "...two thirds of the leads are attractive personal trainers who can’t give good advice on anything, but fitness. They don’t know how to confront loneliness or longing or that void inside. Encountering an outsider (Corrigan) their routines are totally discombobulated. It’s amusing to see that ineptitude, but more often it’s painful and, ultimately, endearing to see the emotional hurt and growth they must undergo. That’s what training is all about right? Pushing yourself."

This one is growing on me, but a desolate fairy tale told in the form of a western. Meditative, beautifully shot, and perplexing.
