The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) - 5/10, dissapointing. While the comic book style images were very welcomed, all the villians were lame characters without anything interesting, and the chemistry between Garfield and Stone that was the best thing of the first part was completely lost here.

Ghost in a Shell (2017) 5.5
Crime and Punishment in Suburbia (2000) 6 or maybe even 6.5
Quarantine (2008) 4.5
Changing Lanes (2002) This is one of those films that seems better for some personal or more nebulous reason whereas, as objectively as one can be about any kind of art, it doesn't seem to be quite as good. So, more objectively, I'd say 7, which is good, but I liked it as much or even more than some "better" (movies with an 8 or so) films I've seen. It spoke to me, however, in a way that has a lot to do with what I needed to see that night and around this time, so it will be interesting to see what I think of it in a year or so.
A Quiet Passion (2016/2017) This is a tough one for me to rate. It's kind of a case of the opposite situation from Changing Lanes. There was a lot to admire -- the innovative camera work, great score and use of it, skilled and creative directing, good performances, etc., -- but I just didn't feel connected, which is odd because it's about Emily Dickinson, whose work I love, and it focuses, in part, on her poetry and feminism, with which I identify. I also hate the title but I don't know that that has anything to do with my judgement of the film. Anyway, I guess I'll say 7.

Interesting to hear your view of A Quiet Passion. I haven't seen it, but heard good and bad things.

I can't seem to get my head around why I didn't find it more compelling, except that it seemed to have the outer trappings of a good film but I just didn't feel much. I'm not sure, though, if that has more to do with the movie or more to do with me or my expectations or some such thing.

Panorama of Ealing from a Moving Tram (1901) - 6/1.
Pencho rated this earlier in this thread and provided the following link to watch it. (It takes maybe two minutes to watch. I think it's worth two minutes.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmEcxE0MPgM
