Isn't Keanu Reeves the lead actor in it?
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I know, I know. I can't deny my husband access to the Netflix queue, no matter how tempting.

Does Chris Evans at least strip down at some point to make it worth suffering through?

Nope. It's got a lot of actors that I've liked in different movies at different times, slogging through a lot of crap dialogue.
Keanu doesn't actually do so bad.

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH actually liked Street Kings. Me, not so much.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just watched Before Sunrise. As expected, I loved it. I have Before Sunset sitting on my DVR, but I will wait a while to watch it. Not ten years, but a while.

Now go watch Pi and your head will explode.

Watched it years ago, and all I really remember at this point is the end. You know the scene.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Emmett and I have been working through the James Bond ouevre and after watching all the Sean Connerys in order I decided to jump around a bit and got the best (in my opinion) of the Moore and Brosnan Bonds.
It's easy to pick up old VHS copies at Amoeba for $2 so I grabbed The Spy Who Loved Me and Goldeneye. I thought I'd ease Emmett back to the goofiness of the Roger Moore era slowly, so we watched Pierce Brosnan first.
Goldeneye has a lot going for it. Great opening stunt (the bungee jump off the dam), kickass antagonist (Sean Bean), one of the all time great Bond villains (Xenia Onatop! God, I love Famke), a competent, active, credible, helpful Bond girl, old school Q, new school M (Judi). And most importantly for Emmett's entertainment: James Bond driving a tank over cars and through bridges on city streets.
It was fun to watch his reaction unfold, from Emmett urging Bond to "just take the tank" to his "Whoa! Yeah!" when the tank burst through the brick wall.
