I've got the collection of Matrx and need to break it out again. I've only seen the anime episode once.

Standard heist movie. Not sure it stand out in any way from all the rest. Not a bad action flick where the plan goes to s hit, friends cross you and you wonder how he'll get out of this. Well it is a clever wrap up. Rent it at least and enjoy the ride. I really enjoy Giovanni Ribisi and his characters, but I did have a tough time buying into his tough guy act. He really is a scrawny little man. Anyway, over the top believability, but fun ride.

 Haywire

Talk about a major let down. With an outstanding cast, this just did not deliver. I will say Gina Carano is easy on the eyes and did enjoy watching her, but she is not an actress by any stretch. Just look up pics of her real job as MMA. This was just a dry spy thriller that bored the crap outta me. The editing sucked. Some places the pace was frenetic, other times, just overly long shots of the same thing.

The music blew. Sounded like an old 80's film or trying to capture the sound of the Ocean's series.

Between the long dry droughts of drama, a fight would break out. They were brutal, but very unnatural. Like watching pro wrestling. You throw this punch, then move here... blah, blah, blah.

Also I don't want to supply the trailer. That trailer ruined any kind of surprise in the watching the movie.

I have Haywire on hold at the Library. Can't read any of what you wrote till after I see it, but I'm not encouraged by the 2 Star rating you gave it. *Sigh*

The Hangover II (0 Stars)

I'm one of the few that thought very little of The Hangover. Way to much praise. Anyway, if I was a big fan of the original, I would be so ****ed about watching, let alone paying, for the same exact story. What a freakin rip. just a stupid waste of time an celluloid. Definitely not funny the second time around.

Your review sums up everything I've heard about Part II. I do like the first one and somewhere down inside me I want to see this one. But I am in no rush to do so.
