Watched a weird one last night. All Japanese and Taiwan Aboriginal language, no subtitles.
It was pretty awesome for the first 45 minutes, and then the character development began
and people started talking about their feelings. Had to FF through it to get to something
I could get through context....Warriors of the Rainbow. (The Japanese subjugation of
Taiwan and the bloody aboriginal reaction to their tactics). If you read the Wiki entry for
"Wushe Incident" you have the plot in a nutshell. So I undertook the view. Like I said,
until people started having emotional conflict and deep convo, I was pretty impressed
with myself.

I am not going to dislike Haywire. I am going to consider it a Cynthia Rothrock-type movie and enjoy it for what it is.

Maybe, I don't know, hell.

Streamed Breaker Morant on Netflix last night. (Thanks for mentioning it, billybarue.) Very good movie.

Gladiator - awesome movie!

My Man Godfrey

Oh she looked good, the movie ...not so much. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good....it was so-so.

It seems when they get a "non actor/actress" they refuse to give them any decent dialogue with IMHO ruins the movie.

Watching The Grey now.

J. Edgar...interesting movie

The Sitter

(Wow what a bad flick!)
The highlights where a young girl with a foul mouth:-)

21 -- Much potential, but mostly a bust.

Lockout....Guy Pearce and Maggie Grace. BOTH actors improved their stock in this one.
If you watched LOST, you know Maggie Grace as the hot, spoiled blonde who get's it in
the stomach with a knife I think. Not sure if her brother fell and died first or after her.
She was 2 dimensional in LOST, here, she stills shows some lack of skill, but she carries
her part well enough.

Guy Pearce, who almost everyone loved in Memento, proves he may well be the next
John McClain-prototype...plenty of wise cracks that while they were not that well-written,
were certainly well-delivered. He really makes this movie special. Other than that it could
be Saturday night fare on SciFi Channel. One particularly annoying feature was the constant
location referencing...."White House...Washington, D.C." then over to "M-1 Maximum Security
Space Prison". I swear, EVERYTIME they went back to that location, which was half the film
or better, they CGed the location, it was hilarious. I fully expected "Broom Closet, M1 Maximum
Security Space Prison."

OK, I'd like to semi-jack this thread and ask "What did everyone have a problem with Haywire about?"
I watched it last night and liked about 92% of what I was seeing. It meandered a bit near the end but
righted the ship. Woman looked good, hand to hand fighting was sprinkled liberally, but not anything drawn out
and frankly the fight choreography was pretty entertaining and believable. The story was a cliche', sure,
but it was not embarassing. I have seen nothing but thumbs down on this one...:-):-)....I give it a :-)

Last night I rewatched 23. I really like Jim Carreys role in it, it strays from his norm. It's kind of funny, because he's an animal control guy...ironic.

It's a very predictable ending, but it's just a great movie.

Shark Night
