My impressions of
Mr and Mrs Smith?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- so pretty and so tall!
Also, many things go boom . .. and really just because a movie is PG-13 doesn't mean that you should bring your child to it. I'm thinking that the movie would have been better if it had been an R because conceptually it's not a kid/family film and with an R they could
balance the violence
with more
sex,
you know?
And, what ita said about Adam Brody. (Loved that he was
wearing a Fight Club t-shirt while being held hostage.
)
The
shirt
did have me cracking up, Sumi.
Hey -- does anyone have the exact
"she's like Batman with computers"
quote? Was that it?
That's what I heard, ita. And I, too, cracked up at the
shirt.
I pretty much agree with everyone else's assessment. It's fun and funny and things blow up. Good time.
Don't forget the pretty pretty people.
Oh, who played
Atlanta
(I thought I'd pegged the actor, but have now forgotten --
Angela Bassett
maybe?) and who played
the therapist?
For that I was sure it was
William Fichtner.
But neither role is credited in IMDB, unless I'm missing something.
Did we ever see the
therapist
? I hoped that the credits would reveal who it was but either I missed it or he isn't there.
No, no face. I was mildly irritated that they bothered to show
Father's reflection
in the monitor watching
Benjamin, because I matched that to his voice, and was ... well, it wasn't a huge deal, I guess, the plot.
Given I can't even remember how it ended.
Apparently they
killed a bunch of people and that meant they were safe forever.
Or something.
Well, holy crap. It made $51 million. Second was $17 million,
Madagascar.
80s Camp Horror: Vamp / Lair of the White Worm. The first has Grace Jones as an evil vampire. ' Nuff said. The second has Amanda Donohue as an evil high priestess of a snake cult. Ditto.
Actually, the bed Hugh Grant is in is the real porn in LotWW. Hugh Grant's okay, but the bed...
I mentioned that a Buffista had referred to
La Pianiste
as the most disturbing movie they'd seen to my husband, so natually he decided to pull it off the "to be watched" shelf where it's been languishing for a year or so.
Yeah, it's disturbing.
Mostly it just made me cranky, though, with the lack of sense-making. I've found other movies more disturbing. I guess I need a little sympathy with the characters, but the only character I felt for was the girl student.
We were planning to see Star Wars on Friday, for our anniversary night out, but it's closed here already.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
was playing instead. Quite the anniversary movie.
