Saw the movie tonight. Probably my least favorite film of the summer. Good amount of action but a really far-fetched storyline (even for a fantasy-action film). Some of the stuff that happened was just laughably stupid.
Having said that, ScarJo's performance was very good. She really establishes herself as being able to carry a big action movie.
Anyone else see it?

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Well, for all of us wondering what Tree of Life would have been like if Luc Besson made it, now we know!
I thought it was pretty damn awesome. Wildly entertaining and Scarlett kicked some serious ass. All the monologues about evolution and time elicited some chuckles, but the special effects and action sequences were top notch.
It's nice to see an original action flick with a female lead do so well at the box office.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Posted: 7/27/14 at 10:41pmSaw it tonight. Kind of a mess, but overall a fun summer diversion. It's short enough and fast-paced enough to not wear out its welcome, even when it's at its most ludicrous. The screenplay sucks--a little heavy on monologues about the profundity of existence. But ScarJo and Freeman make the most of it all.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
