I agree with zippyt on that one. I actually went to see it with a Vietnam Vet who said it was the best of the 'Nam movies that were quite in vogue at the time.

I always boggle that the locations were all in England. Even Hue.

Spiderman 2

"Buried" is an OK movie, a little slow at times. Nice plot twist.

It also features the most fuel efficient Zippo lighter in the history of fire.

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.

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.

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.

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

monster · 02-03-2011, 01:21 PM

Helen Mirren was truly awful

Buried, awesome thriller

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.
