What happened to the Quantum peoples/organization? Skyfall was good, but I wished it had continued that little story arc they had going.  :)p17

Red Dawn (remake) 3/10 - Ugh, better than I thought it was going to be which should tell you a lot.  Original was 7.5/10 for me.

Life of Pi 7.75/10 - A tad light for my tastes.  Found the mids recessed.  Visually stunning.  Must be seen in digital 3D.

Silver Lining Playbook 8.375/10 - Well done.  A few moments or pre-ordination and interminability ding it.  Always takes a while for me to warm up to Bradley Cooper, if ever.

Safety Not Guaranteed : Liked this one & while it stayed on a fairly predictable course, the performances were great & heartfelt.

Vamps : Nice, easy comedy. Nothing substantial but enjoyable fluff nonetheless.

I'm halfway through the BBC miniseries, Ultraviolet (1998). Stars Idris Elbas, Jack Davenport, and Stephen Moyer appears in the first episode. Bout vamps, is not bad.

Skyfall - 6.5/10

Enjoyed it at the time. Thought the Bardem villain was overcooked and the biggest disappointment. Craig's washed up and less pouty Bond was good, and Fiennes was cool as always. Some memorable scenes and outstanding cinematography in parts. I still yearn for a Bond film akin to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Never cared for the Expendables, first one at least. Thought "The Losers" and "A-Team" were much better tongue-in-cheek action films.

We both know that'll never happen.  You're closest bet was the Jack Ryan stuff which ended w/ Admiral Greer's demise.

Bardem's character was lame but he played it well, if that makes any sense.  Polishing a turd.   :D

Expendables 2 was so bad.  I only watched it because it got a decent RT rating.  There are times I can enjoy a dumb action movie, but if it has no plot or originality or acting or romance or sex or anything else, it's at least got to have good action.  This was some of the most boring action I've seen.  Just guys standing there shooting at other guys.  Not even trying to dodge bullets or anything.  Then the hero and his nemesis meet at the end, and as some screenwriting class probably teaches, the good guy starts off kicking the bad guys ass, but then the bad guy starts winning and almost kills the good guy before he gets out just in the nick of time and wins.
