Watched "The Expendables" last night.

The first 15 minutes of the movie was good. It went off the cliff from there. Stallone should never be allowed to write a script ever, ever again.

Little plot development, less character development, and badly scripted unrealistic action sequences. I completely understand why it was in the theater for 2 weeks.

Finally got around to watching The Taking of Pelham 123 yesterday. It was great, and for anybody that hasn't seen it and enjoys a great adventure, I would recommend it. John Travolta was believably scary!

It did peter out towards the end, I thought it was a 4 out of 10 and kinda enjoyed the stuff they blew up.

THis past weekend I watched OPEN RANGE with K. Costner and Robert Duvall.

A good Western with the good guys taking it on the chin and coming out on top in the end.

On Wednesday I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides. What can I say, I love Captain Jack and could sit watching and listening to him all day.

.

Ok, Penelope was excellent, Ian played a wonderfully evil Blackbeard ... in fact all the cast played their parts well. It was enjoyable but it being in 3D didn't work for me so I plan to go see it in 2D sometime before it leaves the theatre.

127 Hours The film stars James Franco as mountain climber/biker Aron Ralston, who became trapped by a boulder in Robbers Roost, Utah in April 2003.

The film was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor (James Franco).

This is a outstanding movie that I didn't have any trouble relating to since I have tended to put myself in situations like this but of course not this extreme.
This is an adventure movie turned character study.
