Covert Affairs on USA

I Love watching some good TV every once in a while. Burn Notice, Great Show! Royal Pains is interesting and funny most of the time but Covert Affairs. What a total LAME let down.

Covert Affairs

Piper Perabo stars in this new… yawn… “hit series” YAAaaaaawwwwn. Covert Affairs.

This show is SO freaking lame it is unbelievable. The show it’s self is unbelievable. I can’t believe the same guys that directed the Born Trilogy staring Matt (the moron) Damon could actually be involved with this. Don’t get me wrong, Loved Matt in a bunch of movies and the Born triology was great but every time he thinks people want to listen to his nasty political rants. I just think, stick to the script.

Getting back to Covert Affairs

Ok, why I think this show sucks. You have this cute little girl who as the show unfolds you learn is super smart, speaks multiple languages, drives amazing, and so on and so forth. Then you have her co-worker handler guy who is a computer genius ex-soldier who’s blind. :-) It’s like, these people we couldn’t make interesting with their acting skills, so let’s build these huge unbelievable persona’s because that will keep people watching. right…

This show my wife and I watched the first episode and were so let down by just how plane and stupid it was… I don’t think we’ll be back for more and I don’t think this new show will last long.

But that’s my two cents. What are your thoughts?

Despicable Me

Overall not a really great movie, but certainly not as terrible as some of the Christian movie review sites make it out to be. I give it a middle of the road on morality, but if you’re looking for a cartoon kids movie to teach you morality your probably stuck on stupid anyways and this won’t help.

YES, the main character is a thief, a bad man, he steals for a living. Big deal, he’s also it seams falling upon hard times financially and needs to go to the bank for a crime loan. This to me was hilarious, the bank which on the sign said, “Formerly Lehman brothers” is run but a dishonest criminal. STOP already, I know. Criminals are all bad. It’s a MOVIE. Chill.

Now, 3 little girls who are in a orphanage are totally abused by this unbelievably mean woman who is just terrible to them. They are forced to go out and sell cookies and then even have a quota which if they don’t meet they are punished in the “box of shame” or something like that. That’s how they meet our “Nice” criminal who isn’t nice until he gets to know and like the girls.

Overall, without giving away too much. GOOD MOVIE.

I laughed, I saw a few indoctrination things there, and liberal things which were said. But, it wasn’t terribly offensive to a Christian right wing conservative.

One thing to note… if going with kids is this one part… that I almost think it’s silly mentioning but. One of the girls is enclosed in a casket with spikes, and after the casket closes, red fluid pours out of the bottom (the fluid turns out to be juice) but it did make me and my wife go… WhAT!?   :-)    it leaves you hanging for just a few seconds before they open it back up to reveal shes ok.

Inception Movie Review:

Inception Movie Review:

Fantastic Movie! Loved it, and had to go see it again with some other friends after the first time. It’s that good.

Ok, unlike Salt. Which SUCKED! this movie explains why there is this craziness going on in the world. They are inside a dream world and are trying to extract information. Here is the thing though, some people have trained there dream mind to fight off these intrusions. There is many different plot twists and turns as well as a amazing and wild ride.

The videography I thought was really great, visual effects were awesome but unlike Salt. This movie Inception looses nothing on the plot when compared to the graphics.

Too many movies these days are all graphics and no plot. You will not be disappointed with Inception.

Salt staring Angelina Jolie MOVIE REVIEW

Salt Movie Review: Staring Angelina Jolie

Disappointed, has some good potential. But if you’ve seen No Way Out then you would be looking for a stronger plot continuity and this movie was lacking. PLUS, this isn’t the matrix or inception or any one of the movies that gives a reason why someone would have super powers.

Salt the Movie has Angelina Jolie playing some super bad ass chick… again… and she’s jumping off of cars and trucks from one to another, then she some how is this super deep secret agent. It’s just kind of a lame movie.

It was fun, but I wouldn’t pay to see it in theaters.

Unrealistic while trying to be realistic makes it lame.

Salt Movie Review:

If you saw this, please comment and let us know what you thought.

These Mistakes courtesy of http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944835/goofs

  • Revealing mistakes: In one shot, a SWAT officer can be seen holding a Colt Model 933 carbine fitted with an EOTech red dot sight, the sight being mounted backwards on the weapon.
  • Continuity: When Salt walks into the holding room to interrogate Orlov, she places a black plastic ashtray containing a pack of cigarettes on the corner of the table. It stays there throughout several following scenes, but has vanished when she’s in the room alone.
  • Continuity: When Evelyn is climbing on the outside of the building, in some shots her dog’s head is visible sticking out of her backpack. In other shots the backpack is zipped up tight.
  • Continuity: Salt packs her backpack with bomb goods, spider venom, etc. She eventually gets captured, when the backpack and the goods would have been confiscated, but after having escaped capture she uses those items while on her mission.
  • Errors in geography: In one of the Washington DC scenes, Salt is seen entering the Archives/Navy Memorial Metro station, and emerging from the L’Enfant Plaza station, without ever boarding a train.
  • Continuity: When Evelyn first goes on the run, she enters a stairwell, takes off her shoes and tosses them in the corner. The next shot shows the security camera’s view. The shoes are in a different position.

The Invention of Lying Movie Review

The Invention of Lying SUCKS.

End of the movie he invents a god and heaven. There, now it’s totally ruined for you. I HATED this movie.

If I can speak really quickly about what makes a movie good. Movies serve one purpose, to elicite an emotional response. (MY OPINION, it should be a positive emotion)

This movie starts off making everyone feel totally uncomfortable with how crude it is. The first five minutes we cover a huge era of topics including masturbation.  DO NOT watch this movie with your kids, parents or anyone who has any kind of a moral compass.

If you are a Christian, you know that Man did not invent lieing, it was the serpent in the garden. The devil. The first lie was? Did God Really say?

This movies then is built upon a underlying premiss that I disagree with. It’s not funny, it’s actually really sad.

Official Preview and Movie review of the Invention of Lying.

Ok, so there is the preview. Kind of looks a bit funny, but really… I think it’d be depressing to live if there was no God.

Here is Anthony Flew who was an Atheist and is now a Theist.

William Lane Craig debated Anthony Flew on the topic Does God Exist
