phynckeSo had a nice holiday weekend. I had to work on Friday so I had the 4th of July off and then went into the office for a very quiet, easy day of work. It really was not so bad. I got my email totally under control and it was a good day to work. I did not want to use my vacation time for that day off so I worked and had a very nice time. Very few people there and got to do my own thing. I really had a great time. And on to movie reviews.
White House Down - Channing Tatum goodness yeah. I really love him. This was an action packed movie that was about 15 minutes too long. It really could have used some editing and needed to be tighter. I liked it but think that Olympus Has Fallen beat this movie to the punch on the White House invasion scenario plotted movies. Good film to watch at home. Jamie Fox as the President was an inspired choice and he rocked it. See it just for that.
The Lone Ranger - I made the mistake of looking at Rotten Tomatoes before seeing this and was not expecting much as it got critically panned. Well, total surprise of a movie for me. This was a really riveting film, fascinating performance by Johnny Depp and the action was well paced. The movie had a more real portrayal of Native Americans than old Lone Ranger stuff did and that makes for quite a bit of sadness as you view the film. Be prepared for that. This Lone Ranger comes into his heroism and I really enjoyed Armie Hammer in this role - he develops and grows. I disagree with the critics on this one and really enjoyed this film.
Anyways - back to work tomorrow. Next week is Pacific Rim. Very excited about that - a movie about giant robots and alien monsters. Cannot wait for that.
Hope your weekend was good - Happy 4th to US folks - and I am still researching my Sultry work here. Cheers!
