Well my truck broke down on Thursday, luckily it is an easy fix just a few busted hoses and a new thermostat. But it has been in the shop since Thursday afternoon. Since then I cooped up in my house. Luckily Dave and Amy have been nice enough to drive me around a bit yesterday afternoon. I've now reached the point where I am going crazy. I WANT to go back to work. I love my dogs but they are driving me a bit crazy. I'm sure they want me to leave so they can lounge around all day. Wait a minute they do it anyway.

We saw Wanted yesterday. Apparently based on a comic released a few years ago about a group of assassins formed by a group of weavers. That's right weavers that found messed up threads that supposedly fate put in their cloth so they could kill people. Which is a fine concept (kind of). Overall my rating was a meh. One thing that bothered me was when Angelina Jolie was first shown. She needs to eat a damn sandwich. The entire movie I was off put by how skinny she looked. I mean really frackin' unhealthy. One thing I'm getting really sick of is the over use of the shaky cam effect. It worked in Cloverfield because it was meant to be shot from as a home video. In movies where they try to enhance the action it is worthless. It may "seem" that you are a part of the action but the brain doesn't just work that way, it filters out all of that shakiness. I find it as an excuse for poor action sequences that they use it to hide the medicore fighting skills.

Rating: meh

Pros: Entertaining popcorn flick.

Cons: Seemed way too long. It was pretty said that I had figured out most of the plot points before they were even introduced. I mean I could have said parts of the script because they were so overdone. We also need a new way of doing training montage shots.

One last thing, I know everyone bitches about this but I figure I'd join the crowd. Luckily in the Pensacola area a matinee price is not expensive and topped on getting candy and drinks it means I would have to work for an hour to go to the movie by myself. Actually a little bit longer than that if you factor in money lost from taxes and such. Anyway, when did it become ok to put commericals in front of something I paid for? It is getting to the point that the commericals before the movie are longer than some of the trailiers. Yes I know the theater needs to make money, but having worked on the concession end of a theater I know how much they rip off people with the cost of food and such. It is getting to the point that I just don't even want to go to the theater anymore. Oh I'll go for really awesome movies, Iron Man, The Dark Knight, and The Incredible Hulk. But for medicore movies I'm not going to sit through that crap and the people in the movie. Actually yesterday was the first time people were quite during the movie.
