40Cent @ the movies

[MetalDog]

Eh, my wife and I just saw it and we both enjoyed it quite a bit. It could stand to have about 20 minutes trimmed off, but overall I give it high marks. And it may be heresy, but I love Craig as Bond. He's a guy that looks like he really could mess up someone's day, and the action scenes with Craig are right on the money.

Of course, now that I got to see Skyfall, I'm obligated to take the wife to see Breaking Dawn pt. 2 next week. Pray for me, boys.

I didn't need to hear that.....


but if it gets you laid, who (whom?) am I to judge such sacrifice

There's taking one for the team...and then there is Twilight!

O-M-G!!  :o

I just threw-up a little, in my mouth.  Will she let you bring a flask into the theater, maybe a mp3 player too?   :-\

Thank Christ that I've never been forced to make such sacrifices!  When the subject of Magic Mike came up, my reply was NFW!!

I did get dragged to the 2nd or 3rd Twilight (where I audibly moaned a couple of times and was a millisecond away from telling a group of female young adults to go f-off in response to their exuberance).  Now the Mrs knows to NEVER bring that franchise up again, unless in jest.

Goddamit I never even thought of embarassing her so much she wouldn't take me again!

Saw Wreck It Ralf today.  It was ok.  The popcorn with extra butter made it more tolerable.

I liked it, for what it was.  It was good to see Dr. Eggman and Bowser again.

Took my girlfriend and my son to see Red Dawn yesterday.  Having seen the original, I was a bit skeptical that Hollywood would live up to my nostalgia for the original.  It turned out I was right. 

The movie adheres to the original storyline fairly well, U.S. is invaded, this time by the North Koreans.  The Eckert brothers escape with a few of their friends into the woods and start to fight back.  There are harrowing adventures, a traitor and a love interest (or two), along with deaths and defections.  And I was ok with all of that because that's how I remembered it.

However, there were two things about the movie that put me off liking it as much as the original.  The first was that shaky camera crap that started with The Blair Witch Project.  I'm not old, although I might be cranky, but I just can't stand when my screen is jumping up and down in a false attempt to impart movement and a sense of being there.  The second problem I had was that the movie felt like a bunch of "moments" all pasted together.  There wasn't a feeling of flow.  There were a lot of explosions and a boatload of, "There's no way they could have done that!"

All in all, I was glad I went, but I would give it 20 out of 40.

The family saw Rise of the Guardians, in 3D on the weekend.  It was pretty good, for a kiddies cartoon.  The downside- Santa has a Russian accent and is played by Alec Baldwin.  The upside- it's a ripping yarn with great animation.

Demi-spoiler: the elves are dolts and the toys are really made by Yetis.  It's true.

IMHO, 2nd best cartoon this year, after Madagascar 3.

32 out of 40.

The original was quite the piece of unadulterated crap
so I guess this Red Dawn is not as good an unadulterated
piece of crap.  Does that actually make it a better movie?
