I don't actually board the ship to Mexico until Thursday (day after tomorrow,) so I'm spending the first part of the week avoiding spring cleaning by way of movies. So far, both are B-movies that benefit greatly from their stars.
Non-Stop with Liam Neeson & Julianne Moore, the former of whom will always be
walking naked out of the loch in
Rob Roy and the latter of whom will always be
Frannie Hughes on
As the World Turns. I went for Mr. Neeson and actually enjoyed the movie. Do you watch Downton Abbey? Rejoice, for
Lady Mary is in it, too, as a
flight attendant. It's quite a good suspense thing and the actors all overcame the inherent absurdity of ridiculously attractive people in peril with grace, though Michelle Dockery may never leave the Abbey behind her completely.
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit was this afternoon's outing. OMG
CHRIS PINE IS SO PINCHABLE. Ahem. His character is a Very Serious Rhodes Scholar, Marine and then CIA analyst, yes, AND YOU JUST WANT TO HUG HIM AND SQUEEZE HIM AND CALL HIM GEORGE. There are
evil Russians, entitled!
Keira Knightly and sinister!
Kevin Costner and FREAKING ADORABLE!
PINE. Yes, Chris. You're the guy! Of course, it's possible I'm biased by too much nuTrek slash.
Anyway, either movie is a perfectly pleasant way to enjoy popcorn while admiring the male scenery.
