Salt vs. Inception

At the end of the day, they both offer the same existentialism. It’s just, well, I’d rather sleep with Ange.

Okay, I watched Inception (twice–through no fault of my own.) Happily, it made more sense to me than Shutter Island.

No, I’m not a DiCaprio fan–although I did see him sitting on the steps of the St. Regis NY in a ball cap smoking a cigarette. It made me wanna go get a pirated copy of ‘The Titanic’ to see if he’d autograph it…..but, that said, for some reason the only films that I (up to Salt—maybe WHY I liked Ms. Jolie so much in comparison) was invited to attend were both Leo’s.

Anyway, I know scores of sites or blog commentaries exist to sort out the mystery that is Inception. I think Mr. Knight just needed to panel his rec room. (Spinning tops aside)

OR NOT

Salt? Hey….where’s Pepa. ha, ha. I enjoyed that. I heard that it was initially a role intended for/by/with Tom Cruise. Definitely a Star vehicle. It barely carried itself with the cast that it had. More of a high carb/calorie treat with less nutrition than ‘Inception’…but, as Dr. Weston says ‘Sometimes you just want a Happy Meal’. THE END

Cruising Diaz: or ‘Knight and Day”……?

Naturally, my first question was more along the lines of WHEN flicks became $9.50 a person.
(The second question is how popcorn and a coke became $12.80.) I guess I don’t get out much.

This rather light ‘comedy, drama, thriller’ (20th Century FOX speak, not me) features Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz thrown together in a slightly mad cap adventure along the lines of Val Kilmer/Elizabeth Shue in ‘The Saint’….WITHOUT the sexual chemistry between either the characters or the actors portraying them—ahem.

I’m still trying to work out the title ‘Knight and Day‘. I followed the ‘Knight’ segment,….but ‘Day’ is still a bit obscure to me (maybe I missed it eating that $10.00 popcorn from the nose bag that the usher affixed to me upon seating in the cinema). Of course, in England (shades of the good ole Odeon) they used to sell alcoholic beverages during ‘Intermission’ …rather like Opera or a Play for the masses. I don’t know if they still follow this practice, but the film would have made more sense if viewed while under the influence……

It was overall good fun in a ‘don’t think about it too hard’ sort of way (like watching Denise Richards portray a nuclear physicist). Certainly, Tom Cruise was charming in a role that spotlit his million dollar smile—very engaging. Let’s just say I personally preferred it to the last clip I saw of him.

Cameron Diaz was vibrant and personable (if a bit simple-minded)—but, there were the requisite bikini scenes harkening back to her ‘Charlie’s Angels’ films. Overall a cute two hour flick. Pass the butter.

I love you, Man

ANDY SAMBERG (possibly the only non Japanese guy that I’m in love with currently) has a new movie being launched featuring him as a gay guy that kinda turns the wheels of fortune on a straight dude about to wed (Paul Rudd).

The film is called “I love you, Man“……

Maybe I ran so far and Mahmoud really got to him after all.
Wheeeeee.

Andy, CALL ME.
