Movie: 'RED'

Um, Yo-Down.

Saw this in the theater tonight. Stars Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Mary Louise Parker, and some other old dude with gray, greasy curls in the back of his head and a shine top.

I guess it's a guy thing to see car crashes, guns shooting and never hitting anything, punching and wrestling and bloody noses. And some one-up comments. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't mind it so much if there's a cool plot to go with it, but not so much with this movie.

RED stands for retired, extremely dangerous. Former CIA agents are on a hitlist for some somethin' or another that happened in their whilom days. They have to redeem themselves. Poor helpless love interest gets caught up in the middle of it. Yawn.

Books: Hunger Game Series

Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mocking Jay: all three thumbs up! Finished the series when the 3rd one came out a little while ago. (2010)

Haven't blogged what I've been reading/watching in quite some time. Anyways, loved this series. Fast paced, gripping, makes you really think what you might be capable of in a situation where survival was the main priority. Also makes you think about how those situations mess with your head and ruin you emotionally. On a smaller scale (or not for a few people) we all have situations that alter how we react with people and the world, things that kind of break us down. I thought the main character had spunk and found myself wanting to tell her to think rationally, but then would realize that in the situations given, probably you can't be rational! I thought it ended well, appropriately, and I was satisfied.
