Salt

I was pushing to see Inception, but S wanted something more mindless, something where we didn't have to think too much, plus she likes female spy flicks. Well, we sure didn't have to think. In fact, it kind of hurts to think in this film. On the bright side, it numbs the mind enough that I missed the obvious twist at the end. It's surprisingly not sexy. There's a waterboarding scene in the beginning where Angelina is in her skivvies, but that's not really erotic. The chase scenes are absurd. Angelina makes a mortar out of a fire extinguisher and cleaning supplies. Okay, that's a bit of a spoiler, but you see it in the trailer so . The fight scenes are way to choppy and Angelina uses that improbable rebound-off-the-wall move too much. She wants to be Bourne, but no.

What's even more amusing is this is the beginning of a franchise. I can hardly wait for the sequel, which is tentatively called Pepper.

It's nice to know that I don't have to see this. It has the same stunt coordinator as the one for Mr and Mrs. Smith. She now refers to Simon as her Stunt Coordinator.

upon exiting, mrs. dm commented that she keeps hoping angelina would be a good actress, but was once again disappointed. dm commented that angelina has this absurd face - one that she herself has said looks like a muppet - and no, she can't act. you don't go to an angelina film for the acting. i'm not sure why you go to an angelina film.

i will say that salt is a russian spy, and angelina makes a pretty good natasha. she would have totally kicked ass as natasha in that live action bullwinkle they did a few years back, much better than rene russo in the role.

happy to jump on this grenade for y'all. that's one of the things this here forum is for, right?
