Now You See Me looks great - always up for a good heist film, especially with a killer cast like this one.
ReplyDeleteYep, and it is quite a refreshing story too
DeleteNow you see me looks really good - I love a good heist movie :)
ReplyDeletelooks fun, doesn't it? :)
DeleteGood cast and idea, cold and should be a winner.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed, Lurk
DeleteNow You See Me is going to rock. Thank God they didn't cast Seyfried. She's just lifeless like Mia Wasikowska.
ReplyDeleteGeneration Um looks really terrific. A wild crazy film with Keanu getting back to quirky and weird. Where I love him :)
oh, we don't like Wasikowska..... she's the same as KStew and Emma Plopper Watson.
DeleteNow You See Me should be pretty good. And I understand now what Ronin are, since I'm reading Shogun. They're like outlaw samurai living on the run. I'll be interested to see that movie, though we know Keanu can sometimes disappoint. :(
ReplyDeleteyep, I didn't know what Ronin are before I checked it out last year.
DeleteSometimes? More like almost always :)
I just love Morgan Freeman. One of the greatest actors of our time.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he's happy to hear it :)
DeleteJeez, in those posters for Generation Um, Keanu Reeves looks like he should be dumpster-diving somewhere. Not a good look for him.
ReplyDeleteif I remember correctly he always looks like he came out of a dumpster in his private life :)
Deleteanything... well most things with freeman... he doesn't always sign up to do the crap.
ReplyDeleteexcept that he acts like a total crap in his private life :(
DeleteWow, what a cast.
ReplyDeleteWe love ensemble casts
DeleteAgreed. They can be pretty good sometimes. A fun watch.
DeleteHope your weekend was groovy. Ours was but tomorrow, it's back to work.
it's nice having work!
DeleteWow these look great crap or not! ;D
ReplyDeleteglad you likey, Ella!
DeleteI love the story of the 47 ronin
ReplyDeleteit should be an interesting one
DeleteLots of good ones here. I've always had a soft spot for heist movies and Freeman being in that one really interests me.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when was the last time Keanu was in a movie?
heist films are fun, especially when they're robbing filthy rich people ;)
DeleteNow You See Me looks excellent - I'd certainly pay to see a magic show like that!
ReplyDeleteit's exciting one, isn't it, Doc? :)
DeleteKeanu? I am sold! ;)
ReplyDeleteI ahven't been to cinema in ages. been out of touch with Hollywood movies lately
Yep, we haven't seen him a lot in recent years....
