Four Brothers (2005)
Waste of time
Some marginal actors got coaxed into this nothing-but-violence waste of time. Bunch of unruly people with guns shooting at each other (and the bad guys are the worst marksmen). Cars chase each other, crash but still keep going. They crash again and still keep going. A few more times, crash, BANG. Nobody is around to see or hear what must have been a loud chase although it is in the middle of a city. And how convenient for nobody else to be on the road. Bad guys, good guys. Bad cops, good cops. And more stuff you've never seen before. The real victims in this one were the people who wasted money to watch it.
The end (thought it would never get there)
Glory Road (2006)
Why mess with the facts?
I watched the movie only knowing a little about the Texas Western championship season and thought it was a good sports movie despite the fact that I knew what the outcome was going to be. No way there can be a spoiler in a movie such as this.
Afterwards, I did a little research and discovered that the movie had taken a lot of liberties with the facts. I don't think this was necessary since this was a truly historic event any way the story was told. Presenting a factual account would have been just as entertaining. Distorting the facts is the reason I gave it a 5 instead of a 9.
One other thing ... why doesn't ESPN Classic show games like this instead of non-stop boxing and stupid poker reruns?
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)
Off target
The actress was nice to look at but that's about the extent of the enjoyment of this boring tale of terrible shooting .... never seen so many spy, assassin types that can't shoot a lick. They were good at hitting everything but the targets. And it was kinda ironic that the main stars never missed a shot except when they were aiming at each other. I couldn't wait for this to get over ... kept watching, hoping it would get better, but it was off target all the way to the end. Wish they had made this DVD one of the blown-up targets. An absolutely stupid waste of my time although I must admit I don't care for movies that overdo the blow-up scenes.
