Maleficent. It's a movie I need to see again.

Taken #1 was good

The first half was good. The second half was like a parody mash-up of Beverly Hills Cop and the Six Million Dollar Man. As a franchise, Taken is laughably bad.

Taken #1 was good, but #2 bored me about halfway through the movie, didn't even finish it. I made it to the part where he's running atop the buildings to make his wife Untaken.

My 10 y.o. after seeing an ad for Tak3n:

"Seriously, another Taken? Just let them keep her".

Funny. Although I guess no one's taken in #3. I just saw #2 on tv last night, having never seen any of them.

I cant say I missed anything. Wasn't that good.

Watched Her last night. I liked it quite a bit. Very original idea, and very well done. Joaquin Phoenix nailed the role, and Scarlett Johansson was mesmerizing, in her voice-only roll. My wife just thought that it was a weird movie, which it kinda was.

Jesus! What am interesting theory. May have to watch it again myself.

And forgot he did Panic Room. I thought it was a mediocre Jodie Foster film and never thought much deeper. Now I need to rewatch that one too. Where can I read about that movie's theories?


I also want to pick up Gone Girl. Missed that one in theaters.

I honestly don't remember where I saw the Panic Room theory. I thought it was a decent movie. The basic theory is that each of the robbers represents an emotion Foster's character is going through, in relation to her divorce. It's been a long time since I've seen the movie, but I think it was anger/jealousy/rational thought for the 3 robbers. Anywhichway, that knowledge of that theory lends credence to the Fight Club theory, IMO. There's a trend.

Saw this on Facebook this morning on some timeline, and my mind ASPLODE. Gonna have to watch the movie again this weekend:

HOLY CRAP. Just remembered that Fincher also directed "Panic Room," and similar theories were in that movie, too!

I watched Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit out of boredom yesterday. Pretty decent movie and I enjoyed it...minus Keira Knightly. She is horrible to watch try and act...

Don't ever watch A Dangerous Method. Watching her in that makes me want to commit seppuku.

Never was into the Bond movies.

Have to admit, until now, the only thing I saw Craig in was "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo." Never was into the Bond movies.

Not even "Munich"?

The first thing I remember seeing him in was as Paul Newman's creepy son in Road to Perdition.
