This movie was awesome. It's like Ocean's 11, right down to the soundtrack, except with spies instead of thieves. Well, retired spies. And, regrettably, without Brad Pitt. But Bruce Willis is a pretty good replacement. I can't believe Demi Moore didn't want to be married to him anymore. Ashton Kutcher just doesn't compare.

My Movie Blog Philosophy
I don't intend to give complete reviews of the movies I watch. Movie reviews are all over the Internet and I see no reason to add to those numbers. I plan to use this forum mainly to express what stands out to me about the movies that I watch... even if what stands out is that nothing stands out. Not only that, but I don't often have that much to say about movies, especially because I am an escapist movie-watcher who believes the main purpose of a movie is entertainment. I am certainly not looking for inanity in the movies I watch, but if I am looking for education or thought-provoking material, I turn to literature rather than cinema. But I am a netflix subscriber. When I first signed up I figured once I watched the 100 or so movies I had lined up in my queue, I would cancel my subscription. Here it is five years later and I've never whittled my queue down below 80 movies because I keep adding to the list. I have a feeling I may never cancel my netflix subscription.

Agreed. The cast was amazing. I want to be Helen Mirren when I grow up.
ReplyDeleteGuess I better put it on my queue! Wasn't sure I'd like it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Trisha, she does make retirement look quite fun! And you're right, the entire cast is great. No weak spots.
ReplyDeleteMandy--I think you'll like it! Eric too. It's a popcorn movie, so don't expect deep thoughts--and I didn't put it on the Best Movies Ever list--but it's a lot of fun. In fact I'm pretty sure I was grinning like an idiot throughout most of it.
Finally watched this last night. I have to admit I put it to the top of my queue, but then when it came wasn't in a big hurry to watch it.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy it. It was cute and fun and I did laugh a few times mostly at John Malkovich.
Now that I re-read your review I didn't even notice any music in it at all. I think you are more aware of music in movies than I am.
Bruce Willis will do in a pinch, but he's not top 10 material. I think I would have liked the romance between him and the girl expounded a bit more! :)
Haha, yeah, Bruce Willis is definitely a pinch hitter. But I would still pick him over Ashton Kutcher!
ReplyDeleteWell, the break p of Bruce and Demi was due to HIS philandering ways, so I guess Ashton is more faithful.
ReplyDeleteOh, I didn't realize that (or I forgot). Now BW has gone down a few notches in my book.
