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.

Re: Lost In Translation

I liked it! This is the second time watching it since it came out years ago. I understood it more the second time around.

Tonight I think I will watch Troy.

Excellent movie. I remember hearing about his rescue years ago. My only complaint would be the excessive profanity at the beginning of the movie. I had hoped to show it at school. Now I'll have to buy the school version also.

I watched Thunderbirds on Disney. Not bad and it was better done than GI JOE. Recognized Genie Francis, then remembered she is married to Jonathan Frakes.

Mostly I've been re-watching the Numb3rs.

My friend wanted to see Hangover 2 for his belated B-day gift, so what can I say? I never saw the first. Ok, it was somewhat funny to me but not really my sense of humor. People in the packed theatre were hysterical. Good thing I had a large popcorn.

I got a quarter of the way through Insidious, never ever finishing it.

**Suki Wingy** · 07-19-2011, 11:29 PM

My parents finally let me have the password to their Netflix account about a month ago, so I've been watching a LOT of films and stuff.
Just finished Latter Days- I cried.
Earlier today I watched The Science Of Sleep, and walked away feeling like I had been dreaming for about five hours, which was very weird.
I've watched an Argentinian film called Plan B twice in the last week now, I just loved it. It checked all of the boxes of things I've been liking recently.
And I'm also slowly making my way through All Creatures Great And Small. I started watching it for Peter Davison but I truly love it now.

Black Swan. Awesome! Natalie Portman is so good, I love watching her. It was definitely strange seeing her portray such a meek, weak character. She was so twisted, I was mesmerized. LOVED it.
