movies watched october 2012

this week, Sahara, Knight And Day, and Paycheck.

sahara was NOT one terrific movie despite the jeffrey lyons blurb on the back of the box. it was okay though. steve zahn was dumb. i can't believe it was two hours long. breck eisner directed it. breck's real name is michael. you'll never guess who his dad is! he is directing a movie about stretch armstrong. the stretchy toy.

knight and day was also not great and also very long. i think there were parts that were supposed to be funny. mostly i liked the gunplay. james mangold directed it. i only really liked cop land by him. i didn't see 3:10 to yuma. maybe i would like that one. he's directing the wolverine movie.

paycheck i really liked! it was also 2 hours long. uma looked weird in it! she can look really weird. i like looking at her nose though. movie wasn't great, but it had me going. i'm not a big john woo fan.

penelope cruz's vests, tho

knight and day was overlong but it performed as expected and i thought it was a lot of fun

3:10 to yuma fell a bit flat for me but there's lots of interesting things about it, might watch again.

idk paycheck, getting it mixed up with that mel gibson one.

oh and not just me! wait is there a rolling movies watched thread? i didn't even look.

paycheck is based on a PKD short story. probably has nothing to do with the actual story though. i don't think i've read it. entertaining.

yes, penelope looked lovely. she ain't much on the whole acting thing though.

everyone apparently hated paycheck when it came out. and especially ben affleck but i didn't mind him. none of the characters are actual people or anything.

watched WARNING SIGN last night. directed by hal barwood. he wrote the screenplays for sugarland express and dragonslayer. he made a bunch of indiana jones computer games in the 90's. WARNING SIGN has sam waterston AND yaphet kotto so you know its good. plus,kathleen quinlan's unfortunate haircut. AND it had the old dude from the walking dead t.v. show in it when he was a young dude! he was even shirtless in one scene and he looked pretty sexy. man, i love the walking dead. so, he has some long-time experience with zombie-like behavior. cuz that's kinda what WARNING SIGN is about. government germ that makes people go crazy.

oh also watched a documentary last week about a 400 year old japanese sushi master. kinda boring. dude does the same thing every day for 400 years. story of my life. felt bad for his sons. they apparently have to spend 400 years doing the same thing too.

if there is a rolling movie watching thread someone let me know. i'll post there. not a netflix thread. a general one. i like watching movies in the fall.

think this has been linked to on ilx before, but is always worth reading, if only for:

"This dialogue is so trite it defies comment," Cussler scrawled on a cover page. "This Josh Friedman should have his keyboard shoved up his anal canal."

i guess this Last (x) movies you saw

but do your thing, either way

oh okay i don't know why i didn't see that! i'll use that. man, that's an oldie.

okay, posted over there. someone can disappear this thread if they want.

eh i like this thread
