I once knew a girl who walked into an IEEE mixer just looking for free drinks, and then had the nerve to ask if we were serving Corona. 😉

I caught the movie at a human rights film festival recently. I haven't actually read the book, so I can't really weigh in on how they compare, but man, as a standalone story? It’s fantastic. Tense, smart, vivid, and totally unpredictable. The animation is top-tier, too. To be honest, Keanu usually looks better than he acts, but since the whole thing was animated after the fact, his lack of range doesn't really hurt the final product. Robert Downey Jr. is excellent, and Winona is great as well. Honestly, if you aren't into dark, depressing, dystopian flicks, just stay far away from this one...

I caught this one at the Tribeca Film Festival, and honestly? It’s okay. And when I say "okay," I mean if we’re talking a rating scale, I’d give it a solid 3 out of 4. It’s watchable, easy to digest, and has its charming moments—but that’s about the extent of it.
The time I spent watching it wasn't exactly wasted, though there are definitely better ways to spend an evening.
