What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Music? Fun.

I thought the music added to the OMG SERIOUS tone of the movie. It was so dramatic and meaningful all the time.

I also felt bad for Charisma, who just got to pace and look concerned with her hair blowing about.

Yeah, she didn't get much to do at all.

There were fun bits here and there, and some of the action scenes had some good ridiculousness to them, but it kept trying to be a Real Movie. Like tiggy said, why did they think we would want that with a cast like that? Less talky, more splodey.

I rank the three summer movies about teams of mercenaries getting betrayed and blowing shit up thusly:

No RED? Although I guess it wasn't technically summer.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I meant the 70's cockrock songs.

Also, better cinematography for the Li/Lundgren fight, dammit. That was choppy has hell, and pissed me off.

Haven't seen that one yet.

I figured. They didn't make as much of an impression on me as the score.

Also, better cinematography for the Li/Lundgren fight, dammit. That was choppy has hell, and pissed me off.

And it was like the one time Jet Li did any goddamn martial arts in the movie!

Look, juliana is sharing a brain with Pete again. Because he felt the same way.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I really need to see RED. I hope it's coming to DVD soon.

People, go stake out Redbox until it arrives! RED is the most fun I've had at an action movie since Aliens.

Pete is a very smart man. I get that it must have been a difficult scene to film, what with the height disparity, but that's what would have made it so freakin' awesome. They threw enough money at that movie, let some of it go to choreography/cinematography.

Or better yet, do it from the comfort of your home--go to redbox online and reserve a copy.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

No RED? Although I guess it wasn't technically summer.

Haven't seen that one yet.

Go, see it! It's really good.

Do you need more convincing? HELEN MIRREN WITH A GUN.

Also, Bruce Willis beating the crap out of...whatshis name, Bones from the new Trek movie. And! Ernest Borgnine, who is apparently not dead!
