  • Get Smart

    Surprisingly good. Hathaway is great and so so sexy throughout. Carrell owns. Really enjoyable. My only real gripe was that I really enjoyed Max and Agent 29's relationship and then he turned evil. That aside, solid stuff with some killer gags but a terrible showing for the bad guys (Terence Stamp was barely even conscious)

    The Losers

    Completely forgettable. Sylvain White needs to not want to be Tony Scott. The screen lit up whenever Chris Evans was on screen and died whenever Jason Patric had to say something 'funny'. Enjoyable bollocks that needed to be either more violent or edgy.

    • I saw the first part of Ken Burns' Civil War documentary. They really REALLY hated Lincoln.

      Plus there was a NY State regiment that consisted of Bowery street toughs.

        My wife really wanted to see 'Get Smart'; maybe I'll give it a go and enjoy it for the Hathaway eye-candy factor.

        Sorry to hear that about 'the Losers'. The trailers for that really had me pumped to see something special, but the bad WOM turned me off completely. Oh well...we still have the 'A-Team' to look forward to.

        • Ben: So Jeffrey Dean Morgan's not that good in The Losers? He and Chris Klein were like the only reason I was going to see it. I mean, Zoe Saldana's hot and all, but she can only carry a movie so far before I start thinking of her honking at people like Ney'tiri.

            • Chris Klein? You mean Chris Evans right?

              Also, I dug Get Smart for what it was. Humorous piece of fluff.

              • Woah. I loved the Losers. It's a fine fine movie. Light, entertaining. Really fun.

                  With Martin. It won't change the action movie landscape, but you can do much worse.

                  • Chris Klein aint in it. JDM is fine, but he doesn't have much to do. Likewise Saldana (besides which, she's far too skinny).

                    I'd watch Idris Elba read the fucking phone book and be entertained, but they blew his character in the third act.

                    Its fine, there's nothing wrong with it, but I thought it would be fluff along the lines of The Rundown and got fluff along the lines of xXx - enjoyable but completely forgettable and unremarkable.

                    • Uh, yeah, Evans. My bad. But I'll take xXx fluff, and I'm not just referring to hairy girl porn.

                        • I was going to watch that this week.

                          • I might still watch it just because it's on Instant and I won't have to shell out money for it.

                            • Woke up at about 4 AM or so to the wonderful harpy screech of Liv Tyler in The Strangers.

                              Went back to bed with Bill & Ted headin' to Waterloo. I think I made the right decision. I'm sure I chuckled in my sleep.

                              Watched Payback again today. As much I liked Lee Marvin in Point Blank, I loved Mel's version of Parker (Porter).

                              • Re: PANDORUM- I thought the set design was pretty neat (real sets!) but all of the fights featured the over-used shaky-cam/tight-shot camera work. which is too bad because it looked like the choreography was kind of decent. The explanation for the monsters was half-assed and a couple other plot threads were just left hanging. I kind of want to watch at least the first half hour again to see if the logic on one thing worked.
