Cameraperson (2016) -- Amounts to nothing more than some pieced together footage of Johnson's home movies. It doesn't ask any meaningful questions, it's just aimless wanderings through her career. 3/10
The Kings of Summer (2013) -- There's a real story here, underneath the random sitcom humor. But random sitcom humor is the worst kind of humor. 4/10
The President's Last Bang (2005) -- To be honest, I have trouble telling Asians apart. Especially Koreans. So I just spent the whole movie scratching my head wondering who was who. There's some good stuff here, but the characters ultimately get lost in the shuffle of bureaucratic incompetence that forms every aspect of their lives. I will say that Tarantino should take some notes from this movie if he's planning on making a movie that legitimately intends on covering the Manson murders; the mixture of explosive violence and comedy about the characters failing to get the simplest of tasks done in the service of a "true" story is the sort of thing he should think about. 5/10
