RED: Bruce Willis is unbelievable in this film, as is Morgan Freeman. Richard Dreyfuss is also resurrected in a small part. I recommend it highly.

SAW VII: A little gory, but as usual very gripping.I don't think it's the last one, though.

SALT: Angelina Jolie is great and the film is chock full of twists. All in all a good flick.

Bones Season 5. It was slow enough at the nuthouse to watch a couple episodes last night.

I rated the whole thing as watchable and fun,
Morgan Freeman was freewheeling and we rated as a supporting role, also Ernest Borgnine and Richard Dreyfuss, pretty big names for small roles.

Helen Mirren just wanted to be shown with guns NTTAWWT. (according to IMDB Meryl Streep was originally offered the role, that would have been great)

John Malkovich did a good job as a nutter, really the co-star we thought.

Helen Mirren was truly awful

Actually caught this in the local last run theater and completely enjoyed it. Four stars!

Gary Busey, just sayin, though that's not acting so much.

I think you can say the same for Malkovitch.

Agreed.

Knight and Day: I loved it. That is all. Cruise at his best.

The Wolfman
Glad I didn't waste money on it in the theater. The twist was just plain stupid. I wish they'd just stuck with the basic story. Did think Benecio del Toro looked a lot like Lon Chaney, Jr., which was kind of cool nod to the original. And besides, it had Hugo Weaving in it.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
not bad, and I got to drool over Liev Schrieber for a bit. Can't put my finger on exactly why, but I do likes the Liev.

Mrs. Z and I watched Salt last night. It's an ok thriller.

I did find myself saying over and over, "Only in a movie." That's my standard outburst when impossible shit happens in movies.

The other thing I found myself repeating was, "Holy shit. Angelina Jolie is anorexic."

There were a number of scenes where AJ looked like a stick figure. I found it distracting.

The working cut of The Dust Devil. It was better than I remember. Flint fell asleep though... not sure what that says about my taste in movies.

Brokeback Mountain

It was on TV the other night, but I only caught it 30 minutes in.
So I Sky+'d it anyway, but had the real sensation I 'd missed out and gave up on it within 10 minutes.

So I went to CEX - the place I sold many of my precious box sets when I was drinking.
As it's an older film, widely distributed they had it for £2.99. That'll do I thought.

Wow. More ex-y sexy than I thought. More emotional than I thought. And more realistic at the end. Major life events happen off screen and don't have cannons and fireworks and signal flares. And they hurt far more than buggery,

I cried spoons (being realistic - that's a lot).
Will watch again as a bittersweet treat like Manon des Sources, Muriel's Wedding etc
