Just rented the newer Doctor Dolittle. I thought how bad can it be? Robert Downey Jr., Antonio Banderas, modern CG for the animals, based on a beloved book and earlier movie...what could go wrong? Turns out everything. Terrible, terrible movie. Back to watching old Charlie Chan movies.
A couple of action-orientated films. Brooklyn's Finest (2009 & directed by Antoine Fuqua) End of Watch (2012, David Ayer)
The Gift -- it was better than I expected. About a guy in his 40's who has a high school classmate come to visit him out of nowhere, and the intrigue proceeds from there...
I plugged in my DVD of "Transformers" the other day. I didn't watch the entire thing, but I spent about 30 minutes watching and listening to it. It was a good one, I thought. I think it came out around 2007. Yea, July 3, 2007.
The Quick and the Dead (1995) I just watched it.OK I know it is not new. It was watchable but I thought there was a bit too much footage of Sharon Stone. It also seemed to be borrowing a fair bit from Once Upon A Time in the West.
