Wanted [2008]
If you have some time to kill and you’ve exhausted all viable options, you might as well watch Wanted; but if you are a regular at forums for art cinema, infested with literati and intellectuals, do yourself a favour by not revealing you actually watched this one. So this is probably the last time I’ll let the world know that I’ve watched this unintentionally funny and overtly fantastical yet another brought-to-screen-from-graphic-novel popcorn action thriller. The movie involves a cult group of assassins, revenge, a chase sequence reminiscent of Terminator II, action scenes heavily “influenced” from Matrix, son-getting-reacquainted-with-his long-lost-daddy stuff, to name a few – but lets not spoil the fun for would be viewers by revealing more. However I must warn all you lovers of kick-ass movies – the stunt scenes here are ludicrous at best and ridiculous at worst. The director even managed to make Anjelina Jolie look dumb. The only saving grace of the movie perhaps was that Jolie was kind enough to let us have an extended look at her exquisitely-shaped and utterly delicious uncovered posterior to help us recover a part of the money we paid for the proceeds. And yes, if you have a company to share the laughs like I did, you might actually have some no-brainer fun at the cost of the hapless actors and the over-ambitious director.

"The only saving grace of the movie perhaps was that Jolie was kind enough to let us have an extended look at her exquisitely-shaped and utterly delicious uncovered posterior to help us recover a part of the money we paid for the proceeds." - The only thing u shud recover from is ur blatant voyeuristic lust over Jolie's assets, front or rear ;)
Personally i wud gv d muvi a 2.5, just for u-know-which scene ;)
I think this constitutes a spoiler, doesn't it? I mean, how am I supposed to get it up to watch this movie now? Oh wait ... I know.

Aren't we all a bit of voyeur. In fact, given a chance, i would surely strike off 'lust' from the list of seven deadly sins. Even medical science has proved that a bit of ogling at you know what is good for health ;)
@Sitenoise
lol... Well, if you are an aficionado of Jolie's extra-curricular talents, i'm sure it won't be a problem to "get it up to watch the movie" (pun intended). But since you know that...
