RED 2

It's Saturday morning and I'm ready for another post! Today we have 'RED 2'. *Cheers and applause*!! I am going to assume you saw the first RED, (If you haven't, you need to make that your priority right now. Watch it several times, in fact.) and I'm going to assume you loved it. Like I did! Just in case you have NO IDEA what I am talking about, 'RED' stands for Retired and Extremely Dangerous. It's a comedy/action movie staring Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, and more and more cool people. Now back on topic! 'RED 2'. Trailer first.



I am so excited! John Malkovich's character cracks my up with almost every word! That first clip in the store is gold! "You haven't killed anyone in MONTHS!" So great. Helen Mirren looks to be doing a smashing job, yet again. Mary-Luise Parker is the perfect balance to all the cold killers. And of course, Bruce Willis appears to be fantastic. So they have the whole gang together, for some reason Interpol is after them, and it's time for another adventure! Weirdly, I didn't see anything that worried me in the trailer. I feel like I should be worried, simply because it's a sequel and I shouldn't get my hopes up, but I'm not. One of the greatest things about the first one was that it was just fun! As if for a balm to ease my concerns, they added Sir. Anthony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta-Jones to the cast. How can I be worried when there is a knight in the movie? I can't. I am thoroughly expecting a successful sequel, and I can't wait!

UPDATE: I have since seen this movie and written a review here.

    My only disappointment about this is that they killed off Morgan Freeman in the first movie.

    Haha! This is going to be great! As Helen Mirren's character says in the trailer, "It's important to enjoy life while you still can."

    I'll go see it with you on opening day! Yes! And I'm bringing the pig.

Emergency at the Pony Express

It was a hot dusty day at the Pony Express station. There were no packages coming and the riders were getting antsy. Jesse, the youngest rider at age 16, was re-shoeing his pony, and Kale, Jesse’s older brother, was sitting on the porch watching the Texas dust blow. Jesse stood up, patted the pony and said, “Well Sarah, we are ready to go now.” He then walked to the water barrel and drank a large ladleful, liquid rolling down his shirt. Kale looked at the horizon and saw two dark silhouette’s approaching. “Hey Jesse!” Kale hollered, “I think a job’s a- comin’.” Jesse looked around the corner of the station to see the figures growing by the second. He quickly ate a biscuit, then stood on the porch watching as the men arrived. The men were obviously military, both wearing navy blue uniforms, their horses were stark black with manes and tales cut short. “What can we do for you’s today?” Kale asked. “We need you to deliver a package to Baton Rouge, Louisiana,” one of the men said.

KIds Can be Cruel

I can hardly believe the capability of people to just be heartless. Cliques are such a horrible thing, making so many people sad. Don't you hate it when someone says, "Partner up!" and you are the last person chosen? It is so much worse when you are the last person for months. Kids can be soooo cruel. What about when the kids start playing dirty? When they start spreading rumors? What if they are trying to crush a person? It sure stinks to be the person on the "crush" list! As you can tell I am having social problems.

The Hobbit ~ Beware!

I saw the first installment of the 'Hobbit' trilogy opening day yesterday. I was greatly saddened. It. Is. Bad. So bad that I wish I hadn't seen it. So bad, that I don't think I will waste my time on any of the future installments. Peter Jackson took a wonderful, complete, enjoyable story and adulterated it nearly beyond recognition. Now, before you think I am just a purist who despises change, I'm not! Yes, I read all the 'Lord of the Rings' books as well as 'The Hobbit' growing up, and I understand that things change when you are translating a story from book to movie. This went beyond that. I have many specific problems. Yes, that is a stream of dried bird poop on his face. First, they added Radagast the brown wizard. Why in the heck of all creation would someone think that was a good idea? Let's add a totally unnecessary character and side plot that only confuses the audience and draws away from the real focus! It was terrible from ev
