Battle Los Angeles
Ginsu Victim:
Watched B:LA yesterday, and my wife and I both loved it. It's no District 9, but it was a helluva good time at the movies.

He was in Milk. Played Harvey Milk's gay lover opposite Sean Penn. But regardless, 127 Hours, by itself, will convince you.

Ahh. Never saw that one, obviously. Yeah, I wanted to see 127 Hours in theatres but never had the time. Looks like I got a movie night ahead of me. Still gotta see How To Train Your Dragon too.

I'm conflicted by this movie. It looks awful, but Aaron Eckhart is an actual actor...
But then James Franco is a real actor too, and I definitely know I don't want to see A knights tale 2 ;D

I haven't seen it either. But it has great reviews. And if you are a great actor in ONE movie, you are still a great actor. It's not a skill that comes and goes...

I'd say plenty of actors are hit and miss. They are usually just directed poorly or they don't fit the role. Doesn't necessarily mean the actor is not good, they just shouldn't have been playing that role.
That being said, I'm the same way as you. I see an actor that I like, their legitimacy makes me a bit more excited to see a new movie they are in. I figure at least 1 character in the movie has to be entertaining.

Yes and no. I'm saying that no matter how good James Franco is, I'm never going to see A Knights Tale 2 ;D
Back on topic, just saw Battle LA tonight. I give it a 3/5. Aaron does this big speech about not forgetting about fallen comrades etc, and then he says 'But none of that matters right now'. The whole cinema burst out laughing
Edit: forgot to mention it has 'hey it's that guy' girl, Michelle Rodriguez. And I really dug the weaponry of the aliens. Seemed more real than mysterious death ray type devices. On the down side, if you were an alien race trying to take all the water from an inhabited planet, wouldn't you land in the middle of the ocean, far away from trouble? You could take all the water you want, and by the time humans could do anything about it, you'd be on your merry way
Oh, Mo Henry did the negative cutting :)
