| 2/6/2013 | #tweetreview of MI: Ghost Protocol- Feels infantile after a Bourne. Good thrills, neat gadgetry. Cruise's hair seemed fake somehow. 2.5 ★s/5 |
| 3/11/2013 | #tweetreview of Drive (2011)- Good style and acting do not save pointless story. Am I the only person on Earth who disliked it? 2 ★s/5 |
| 4/1/2013 | #tweetreview of Criminal Law- Fun to see younger Gary Oldman. Slightly thrilling story; lame ending. 2.5 ★s/5 |
| 4/24/2013 | #tweetreview of Django Unchained- Longish but fun and tense in that Tarantino way. Foxx is great. Music was a bit much at times. 3.5 ★s/5 |
| 6/10/2013 | #tweetreview of Rango- often fun, VERY busy, but feels less "written" and more "designed." 3 ★s/5 |
| 7/8/2013 | #tweetreview of Robocop- Like a dumber They Live. Occasionally impressive nonetheless. Plus Kurtwood Smith is evil, so that's fun. 2.5 ★s/5 |
| 8/1/2013 | #tweetreview of The Raid: Redemption- Makes Die Hard look like Remains of the Day. Impossible to get bored with. 3.5 ★s/5 |
| 9/27/2013 | #tweetreview of Somebody Up There Likes Me- Insufferably indie comedy w/few laughs. Offerman can't save it. I want my 75 min. back. 1.5 ★s/5 |
| 12/20/2013 | #tweetreview of Happy People- Weird editing, but interesting. The only word more fun to hear Herzog say than "bears" is "sable" 3.5 ★s/5 |
| 1/22/2014 | #tweetreview of Much Ado About Nothing (2012)- Great acting, moments of profound whimsy and sentiment. Plot feels unmodernizable. 3.5 ★s/5 |
| 3/13/2014 | #tweetreview of Monsters (2010)- Great design and cinematography, neat concept; weak story, dull acting. Ultimately disappointing 2 ★s/5 |
If this seems like a low-tech way of archiving all of my "tweet reviews," that's because it is. By an astonishing coincidence, I actually had the idea to start compiling these the very day that Twitter disabled RSS feeds (March 1, 2013); without this functionality, it seems there's no way (for now) to index all tweets by a single user with a single hashtag. Luckily, by March 1st, I had posted only a single tweet review. I don't foresee myself generating enough of these to justify figuring out how to automate the process.
