I got into the groove of watching 3 movies a day again....post reviews so I know what to watch.

Indy Game - Interesting documentary about making independent video games. I loved how they talked about the esthetics gaming, the fine details of contracting levels/maps. What didn't like was watching a few nerds flip out when something goes wrong (Phil Fish/Fez) or how they bitch about working a shit ton(yeah guy, you're fucking self employed, get used to it!) because I found how they dealt with their problems to be completely laughable. 3.5 outta 5

Amadeus - I've put this one off for awhile but it was cool. Long but never really dry. I was kinda bummed at how accessible they made the film (english spoken in Vienna/a campy tweeny vibe) but in the end I think they're trying to show Mozart as the first ever rock star, so to say. Beautiful scenes at the opera though. 3 outta 5

Lynching Charlie Lynch - Good doc about this dude who opened a dispensary in Northern California who got raided by the feds and charged with a buncha shit. Wicked normal, harmless dude on the wrong side of the law. Informative and eye opening. Nothing ground breaking but probably the most humane look at pot ever. 3.5 outta 5

Mansome - Documentary by those dudes from Arrested Development. Whole thing talks about male appearance relating to sexuality and how serious us dudes take it. Everything from the world champion beard growing competition in Austria to some disgusting metrosexual who shaves his body. Didn't really get anything out of it other than the cool feature on the beard competition, that dude Jack Passion is a tool. 2 outta 5

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Leonard Cohen - Fucking stellar. Short 70 min doc from Canada in the 70s in black and white. Focused mainly on Cohen's poetry and nightlife. Wicked inspiring words, guy. 4 outta 5

Jiro Dreams of Sushi - Fucking beautiful doc here. Jap subtitles but just fucking gorgeous film work. This dude makes sushi for like all his life at his little 9 seat restaurant where the minimum charge is like $300 to sit down and eat a 15 min meal and you gotta book this shit like months in advance too. Hard work and discipline are elite Japanese virtues here. 4.5 outta 5

Being Elmo - This was actually pretty cool and I honestly feel terrible for Kevin Clash after watching this. Dude devotes his whole life to making puppets because he's that inspired by Jim Henson, works his whole life to meet Henson, gets hired by him to work on Dark Crystal and later Sesame Street and then becomes one of the most renowned puppeteers ever. 4 outta 5

One Night in Turin - This year I've gone out of my way to pursue watching English Football(fuck you Red Sox and Bruins, why do I still have nesn?) and this was a killer doc on the 1990 English World Cup run. The most humanizing look at hooliganism I've ever seen. Killer highlights from across time. Nice focal points on international stars. Gary Oleman narrating, it's just awesome, I'm a supporter. 4.5 outta 5
