I have see:

12 Years A Slave - we already talked about this

Gravity - It’s like a potboiler story from Analog Magazine turned into a big expensive blockbuster. I enjoyed it, but I haven’t rewatched it.

Lone Survivor - This was okay, but it would have been better if it had been made by a director who didn’t rely so heavily on closeups of gruesome injuries to communicate the brutality of war.

Pacific Rim - I saw this in the theater and it was fine.

The Wolf Of Wall Street - It’s okay, but it seems like a project picked by a studio executive, and it’s probably only regarded as a great movie by people who like Scorsese for the wrong reasons.

Not a great bunch of movies. What do I want to see from your list that I haven’t?

Passion
The Counselor

Blue Ruin
Nebraska
Inside Llewyn Davis

What else will I eventually get around to dutifully watching?
