Thanks to no sports and no good tv, I've been plowing through movies like there's no tomorrow. Let's see if I can remember what I've watched recently.
Django- Not a huge fan of westerns but always a fan of bad asses, and Django fits that mold nicely. Man in black dragging a coffin along behind him able to drop anyone with his pistol. Event Horizon- Finally checked that out after everyone saying how freaky and scary it is. I was unmoved, decent horror, but certainly not Nightmare Fuel of any high octane variety. Maybe Pandorum will serve better... The Messenger- Like the Hurt Locker before it, a solid, well made, if politically safe (not a bad thing, mind) movie. Certainly a suck job worth highlighting and recognizing. Also indeed a solid performance by Woody, who despite being easy to ridicule is routinely strong in his movies. Repo Men- Almost every element could be tied to some other movie, so not entirely original but an entertaining flick if nothing else. Surprisingly, Jude Law works rather well as an action dude. Big Fan- Strong performance by Patton but a weak and unsympathetic character makes the movie hard to get behind. Unthinkable- Sam Jackson does some of his standard shout acting while interrogating a terrorist in ways that make Jack Bauer look downright passive. Carrie Ann Moss serves well as the films moral center torn between the potential to save millions vs the utter destruction of one human's civil rights. Hachiko- A based on a true story of a dog's loyalty to his master, starring Richard Gere who I normally avoid. Now I do not cry at films as a general rule, I may tighten up from time to time, Iron Giant, Finding Neverland, and maybe a couple others but tears just don't happen. The last 20 minutes or so, let's just say I'm glad I was watching this alone on my couch tears flowing. What can I say, dogs are super-effective against me. There are more, but I've gone on long enough, I'll pile some of the other stuff into a future update. Considering I'm watching about two movies a night these days that may come sooner than later. Jam it back in, in the dark.

Look I'm not going to put the film on any best of lists but it gave me what I wanted out of it. Certainly watched much worse and/or far more derivative films (Avatar anyone?), if I had to put a number to Repo Men it would be about a 6 out of 10. In any case I don't think Repo Men is hardly worth this much time or level of debate. I'm sure I'll come up with far more reviled films that I like far more than Repo Men to baffle people with. I mean come on, I absolutely love The Spirit. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
