Movies: A quick catch-up for the last three months.

Duplicity

****

*** for Clive Owen

* for plot, though a tad predictable

CIA agent and M15 agent meet, they had fun, she betrayed him.

They meet again, many years later.

Now they are corporate spies, how exciting!

“Stocks are down, porn is up.”

 

Transformers, Rise of the Fallen

*

** for Arcee

Minus * for the lousy script

At one point, I actually turned to my friend and asked, “are all scriptwriters dead?”

I cringed, I pouted, I whined, I imagined my own death.

The rape of Indiana Jones.

The mindless destruction of Star Wars.

The death of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Transformers IN ONE DAY.

How will I get over this?

 

The Assassination of Jessie James by the coward Robert Ford

*****

*** for Brat Pitt

** for the snivelly Casey Affleck

 

Unfortunately for Transformers, I just watched this gem just a couple of days before.

 

The International

****

*** for Clive Owen

* for the fantastic shoot-out at the Guggenheim.
