I...I had fun with Pilgrim, despite its weaknesses. It definitely needs to be seen more than once as it's so visually dense and layered. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it -- I'm somewhere in between.<br /><br />I'll be seeing The Expendables later this week. I am expecting nothing more than an homage to Cannon Films/Golan-Globus.Actionmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513109522731313470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765008161115599620.post-23286945621883211092010-08-13T16:40:20.799-07:002010-08-13T16:40:20.799-07:00"The Expendables." No. Disappointing. I&..."The Expendables." No. Disappointing. I'm not calling for greatness; I'm calling for dumb fun. But Sly Stallone was self-seriously attempting to create something that approaches "art," and at that, he fails. It's a dream cast, yes, but that can only carry a movie so far, and it sadly wasn't very far.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781388117830165390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765008161115599620.post-77405774459614086842010-08-13T07:53:27.384-07:002010-08-13T07:53:27.384-07:00I went to the midnight showing of "Scott Pilg...I went to the midnight showing of "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" last night. Insanely awesome, phantasmagoric epic of entertainment. If you don't have absolute, pure fun with this movie, I can't help you. I thought it didn't miss a beat. Some of the best action sequences this year.<br /><br />I see "The Expendables" later today and can't wait. Why? Does there need to be a reason?<br /><br />Tomorrow or Sunday, I see "Eat Pray Love." Hey, what can I say, the trailer had me sold. I think it looks terrific.<br /><br />Can't wait for your two round-ups. This year's been weak for me overall, but the last two months have revealed some nice gems. So...this summer actually hasn't been that bad.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781388117830165390noreply@blogger.com
