Safe house: Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington. CIA movie about corrupt agents. Reynolds is a bored as hell safehouse operator in a shit detail in Capetown South Africa and Denzel is a rogue agent that's been captured and is about to be interrogated when all hell breaks loose.
Great movie. First 10 minutes are kind of slow, the rest is complete action. Bourne Identity-esque but Ryan isn't a super-roided human. Just a dude thinking well on his feet.

Domino: Keira Knightley plays a "based on a semi-true story" of a runway model turned bounty hunter. Real life story was boring and marginal. The real Domino died of an overdose during production so they rewrote the end to be more "hollywood"
A toned down more "real" Lara-croft meets Pink (singer) and kicks some ass. She does a pretty hot sex scene. You get to see the twats from 90218 (Ian zoorung and Megan Fox's husband) get beat up and pushed around which is a plus.

A few for now:

Man on Fire: Denzel Washington being a badass and killing everyone. Good story.

Payback: Mel Gibson being a badass and killing everyone. Maria Bello is hot.

The Last Boy Scout: Bruce Willis being a badass and killing everyone. Football.

Rounders: Matt Damon, Edward Norton, lots of other famous people. Nobody really gets killed. Poker.

Thirteen Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis as seen from the perspective of one of JFK's closest aides, Kenny O'Donnell. Once you get past the shitty Boston accents its a pretty good movie.

Thats all for now.

Side-note: Payback is a remake of Point Blank starring Lee Marvin. The original isn't very good but, worth watching if you like Lee Marvin. I think it's available on Netflix.
Side-side-note: Lucy Liu is incredibly sexy in Payback!

The new Jason Statham movie Parker is also based on the same character, but is based on a different Donald Westlake novel.

Has anyone seen Surrogates with Bruce Willis? Wish amazon instant video would let me watch it.

It was ok, good concept, wasn't executed to it's full potential.

Yes! Could have been a great movie but, it took a wrong turn!

Saw End of Watch the other day... a little cheesy and Hollywood, but I liked it...

Fell asleep three times watching Snow White and The Huntsman on the plane last night... upset that it used battery life I didn't need.

I saw it when it first came out on video, from what I remember it was OK but nothing really that special. I'm not a sci-fi/futuristic nut or anything though so others might appreciate it more.
