3 Movies

Zero Dark Thirty: Killing Osama Bin Laden, good.  Finding him by torturing people, probably bad?  Maybe?  I don't know this movie is like 8 million hours long and none of it really dwells on the ethics of torturing prisoners for intel...

Here Comes the Boom: If you cut out the half-dozen sub-plots (or at least pare them way the fuck down) then you've got a decent half-hour of movie here.  Plus the climatic fight is pretty good and Kevin James I think actually pulls it off.  But there is a fuck-ton of filler to get to that climax...

Jack Reacher: Tom "Jack Reacher" Cruise is the total bad ass one-man army investigator that America needs.  Or needed in the 80s maybe.  Really its a very 80s action hero kind of bad-ass lone wolf who gets things done that the system can't get done.  Because of rules and corruption and stuff.  Really, the movie is ok even if I didn't really buy into the deadly threat of the final boss, Old Russian Dude With No Fingers...
