Letterboxd — Your life in film

I made it 30ish minutes before bailing. Yikes.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Ice Man was right.

Just watched this with my 14-year-old daughter. She thought it was incredible, and I agree.

This movie shouldn’t have worked but gosh it’s fun. Channing Tatum is pretty dang funny.

I remember when this came out, thinking “Yes, this is going to be such a rad movie.”

And it wasn’t, it was terrible. I was disappointed.

Watching it again… it’s even worse than I remember. My teenage disappointment has increased to animosity. I actively dislike this film.

Most of the movie is yelling while typing. 

I still think that clear PowerBook is pretty sweet, though.

Say what you want about Tom Hanks’s accent, I give an extra half star for his knock knock joke delivery alone.

Whew, there sure is a lot of talking in this movie.

Liam Neeson just Liam Neesoned his way all through this movie. From punching a guy with his thermos to driving a truck with all the Liam Neeson determination this script could muster.

All that said, I’m left wondering: Why does a guy with an Irish accent live in North Dakota with his American brother?

I love watching Tom Cruise get beat up over and over. Gosh that guy can take a hit. 

And, Bill Paxton is a frickin’ treasure. His accent, smirk, and posture are a delight. 

More movies like this, please.
