Hope Springs

Went and saw this with my friend that comes in to town from time to time. Yeah, it's more of a chick flick. I went because of Tommy Lee Jones. She went because of Merryl Streep. The acting was superlative, but it's just not my thing. So my scoring will be biased. 3/5 from me.

This also serves as a warning to Gray-area. There's this one scene, you can see a traffic cop giving out a ticket way off in the background. Thing is, he isn't wearing a traffic cops uniform, but a STATE TROOPERS UNIFORM! Not only that, but it's supposed to be in Maine, and his uniform is quite clearly CONNECTICUT!!!11!!1!11! OMG LOL!!!1! So Gray, old bean, I'd give this one a miss. It'll completely ruin it for you...

my score for recent movies you may have seen:

  5/5 - The Way Back, The Kings Speech, Michael Clayton, In Bruges, Gran Torino, Mary and Max

4.5/5 - Taken, Iron Man, Reign Over Me, Watchmen, The girl with the dragon tattoo

  4/5 - True Grit, Traitor, Bedtime Stories, Sunshine, pineapple express

3.5/5 - 300, Max Payne, You dont mess with the Zohan, Yes Man

  3/5 - That new Indiana Jones flick, Disturbia, That new TMNT flick,

2.5/5 - Angels and Demons

  2/5 - The Love Guru. Note: My 2 is probably someone elses 1. Just leaving room for worse!

  I wish movie reviews in my newspaper were like this. No, they actually try to explain even the crappy movies to me. Now I know it is a well done movie that is not worth my time. If the wife wants to watch it, I won't have to fake an inner eye injury to get out of it.

This movie seems like it would be awesome if Tommy Lee Jones were Ty Cobb in Hope Springs.

Are you wanting to see Meryl Streep or Tommy Lee Jones nekkid?

Hahn hahn hahn hahn. Nooo......but....that is interesting. Maybe the whipper snappers making movies aren't hip?  Or perhaps just cutting corners. OOR....maybe it's a younger generation conspiracy! Life is interesting.

The director is 52. I'd say it must be a conspiracy
