A collection of films I watched, pulled in via my Letterboxd account. Reviews are usually short and subjective. I'm not a film-major, folks.

#filmlog: The Myth of the American Sleepover, 2010 - ★★★

A fresh entry to the coming of age genre. The acting is a bit choppy, but it could easily be down to the fact that it's all teenagers, and teenagers are weird.

I only found out after watching this film, that the same director also made the enchanting "Under the silver lake", which I will now have to rewatch.

#filmlog: Code Rush, 2000 - ★★★★


A fascinating part of Internet history. As someone who's a huge Firefox fan, it's amazing to see how it all started - and how quickly the story of Netscape ended.

What makes this so compelling is its time-frame. Released very shortly after the events unfolded, even the narration is still blithely ignorant of the things to come. Google and Amazon still in their infancy, Facebook or Twitter not even a blip in anyone's imagination, the landscape of Silicon Valley still appeared very differently and all that lay ahead was the promise of more opportunity.
