special abilities
Good Morning :) it's not even 7 here and I'm awake! I was planning on trying to trek out to work, but thought better of it. Mass transit's still not running regularly.
a big thank you to londonesque for the virtual gift, thanks, hun!! and also the v-gift from mlledefer - thanks to you both and thanks for donating to Haiti!
EDIT - people on my flist - enable the sponsored v-gifts - don't ask questions, it'll be fun!
so...still a lot of snow out there...our street has turned into a one-way street...I had some serious cabin fever yesterday, went to the movies to see From Paris with Love -
From Paris with Love
The premise of the movie is trite, at best, but the idea is this straight-arrow guy wants to be special ops, gets his chance by babysitting this guy who's quite mad. It turns into a sort of mad dash from that point on where the plot sort of waxes away into the backdrop as the action takes centre stage.
It was indeed a wild ride, with a nice twist at the end, but it had no staying power. John Travolta was fantastic, as usual, but Johnathon Rhys Meyers was only okay. The girl who played his girlfriend was quite good, though.
I'm not sure I'm giving a lot in this review, but there really isn't much to talk about: action, adventure and a lot of bloodshed. If you're in for that sort of movie, you'll enjoy it, otherwise, it's one that can certainly be missed. A friend and I are going to try to catch Wolfman tonight.
I was going to say, Lost on Tuesday was fab and SPN was confusing and sad...look for another review possibly tomorrow :)
