- Olga Kurylenko’s acting abilities are extremely limited. “Oblivion” was a halfway decent movie until she and Tom Cruise were together on-screen during an escape sequence, and she kept turning her head from side to side and opening her mouth – this is a simulation of fear? To top it all off, for five minutes she says nothing but “Jack” “Jack” “Jack” “Jack.” We already know Tom Cruise’s character is called Jack. So, cut it out, Olga, can’cha? In another scene, she is called upon to scream in agony, and she sounds like someone just yanked her pony tail. SPOILER ALERT! Self simply COULD NOT believe it when they off-ed Andrea Riseborough’s character, because hers was the one compelling performance in the whole movie.
- Andrea Riseborough looks great. Self particularly loved her use of eyeliner, and her gray shift dress.
- Nicolaj Coster-Waldau is in this movie and that is probably the only reason self saw it. But he’s in only one scene. He does look good as a Mad Max-type character, though.
- It’s been so long since the last time self got ice cream at the Redwood City Downtown Century 20 that the salesperson (who’s been there year-in and year-out for, maybe, five years) no longer says “hi.”
- Even on weekdays, it is difficult to find parking in Sequoia Station.
- Matt Damon made a sci-fi movie! She saw the preview for it today. It’s directed by the same guy who directed “District 9.”
- The price for the early show at the downtown Redwood City Century 20 has increased: from $7 to $7.50.
- Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges made a movie together, and it looks like a knock-off of “Men in Black.” Only, instead of battling aliens, Bridges and Reynolds battle the dead who try to pass as the living, who are really trying to take over the planet.
- There is a sequel to “300″ appearing soon. It seems like only two characters from “300″ return: Lena Headley (who played Gerard Butler’s wife) and Rodrigo Santoro (who was creepy/scary as Xerxes, Persian Conqueror)
- There is a new “Hangover” movie coming out. This one is billed as “Epic” and “Final.” Ho. Ho. Ho.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
