Movies

The action sequence at the end was unrealistic and they never fully developed the relationship between Meg and Russell's characters

I mean, it's hard to believe that a kidnap victm stuck in the jungle for nearly a year with a severe leg injury would be the one to save the mercencary commando.  And the rebels only had one RPG, and instead of shooting it at the helicopter, they waste it by shooting it into the ground at people.  The acting was good, just a poorly written story.

Hope it's not too early to ask what people have watched last week. I saw SWHTM (B) and ASTRO (C). Board needs action.. {nm} Facto Jun 24, 16:28

First time I can recall where I didn't watch any movies all week. Just baseball, mainly. {nm} MontyBurnz Jun 24, 17:49

This week I accepted that the Jays will finish last place, with a plus .500 record in baseball's toughest division. {nm} tribality Jun 24, 19:16

Don't count my O's out for having the balls to completely fall off the cliff into last place! {nm} Paul2k Jun 24, 19:44
