This post this week should really just be me gushing over all the really great movies I’ve seen this week. Seriously, I’ve seen Interstellar, Nightcrawler and Birdman in the span of 7-8 days. But because I care about you and the fact that you really could not give a damn about what I watch in dark rooms full strangers, I will tell you about all the cool stuff that happened this week.
