Incidentally, I was right. Plus the women who were portrayed in that movie were offensive in the extreme. Doubly so, since it was a true story.

Just watched Charlie Wilson's War. I saw the commercials and the cast and the director intrigued me enough to want to see it, but I was afraid the politics
were going to make me hate it.

Glad I gave that one a miss.
Iron Man was awesome. Best comic book movie in quite a while.

I just finished watching Untraceable. It must have ably done what it set out to do, because I feel ill. It was all too easy to believe the story could happen
and it was hard not to feel some empathy for the very very sick killer.

I watched the remake of Sleuth. For the first hour it was true to the original story, if a bit darker than the predecessor. The detective scene was
particularly well done, cause Jude Law got to show some real acting and it was just fun to watch. After that the movie goes....somewhere else in the last act.
To a place I didn't like at all. Spoilers in blue: Out of the blue, Wyke decides he's attracted to Tindle
and proposes he live with him and they become lovers. Not even about the fact that it wasn't in the original (I could deal with changes if well done), it
was just so utterly random and out of place. Then the way Tindle lead him along, toying with Wyke by consider it and being all emotional and
such....only to get disgusted when he realized Wyke was being serious, call him a disgusting old poof, then get shot by Wyke....it was so bizzare. If they
wanted a reason to have Wyke kill Tindle, there were so many ways to do it besides the whole 'rejected lover' angle. Pissed me off.

or empathy for the people who bothered making this, 45 minutes in and I already find it predictable ![]() |

Rambo 4 was good old people exploding, violent awesome. Stallone is 2 for 2 in properly going back to his old franchises.
And directed at Jibby: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1199494/ A Lost Skeleton sequel. Didn't see that coming. Still need to see that guy's other movies.

I for one am surprised at Gary Buesy's ability to both look the part of Buddy Holly and sing his songs rather convincingly.
