I watched just four movies last week:

- There might be a way to tell the story that Passengers tries to tell, but definitely not in the way that the movie tries to tell it.
- Jean Simmons and Dirk Bogarde are good together in So Long at the Fair, and it isn’t the movie’s fault if it now feels a little familiar.
- Dr. T. & the Women acts like a drama that thinks it’s a comedy. There are glimmers of things that work in the movie, like Gere’s central performance, but it always feels like the stakes are incredibly low, even when everything that’s happening on screen says they’re incredibly high.
- I’m not gonna lie, The Day of the Beast is a weird movie. Most of it’s a lot of wacky, almost Evil Dead-like fun.
I also kind of randomly re-watched The ‘Burbs, which I found about as occasionally amusing and under-developed as I did in 1989 when I was twelve.
