Just thought that I'd do something a bit different today. I haven't had any picture taking trips recently and it is still too cold to get out and about to take some pictures of Romulus which is where I stay when I'm working so I'm gonna do a couple of movie reviews.
I was down in Columbia, MO visiting my cousin (I have pics from that I need to put up) and I got to see "BREACH". That is the new movie with Chris Cooper and Ryan Phillipe. EXCELLENT. Really one of the strongest movies I've seen in a while. The real pleasure is that the enjoyment actually comes from the plot line and not just a bunch of action scenes. There is tension and real high stakes drama in the actual story so it didn't need enhanced. This is based on the real life case of Robert Hanssen, an FBI agent that sold secrets to the Soviets and Russians for decades before being busted. I strongly suggest going to see this movie.
I also saw "Zodiac" the other day. "Zodiac" stars Jake Gyllenhaal ,Robert Downy Jr., Mark Ruffalo and Anthony Edwards. The movie follows the Zodiac killings in Northern California in the late 60's and early 70's from the viewpoint of Gyllenhaal's character...a cartoonist for the San Francisco Chronicle. The movies most gruesome moments are near the beginning as the first murders are recreated with vengeance. The acting is good, the script is solid and even though there isn't a true resolution to the murders (just like in the real case) we feel satisfied at the end. Very nice movie and worth a trip to the theatre as well.
There ya go..something to do!
