Anyone seen "Salt"?
« on: January 30, 2011, 11:44:54 AM »
Other than it being badass, the ending seems to infer that there will be a sequel. Maybe a female version of Jason Bourne?

"Red" is also badass.

Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I have yet to see it.

Is it worth watching?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Yes. A lot of twists.

I thought "Red" was really good....


My guys went to "The Mechanic"....M said it was really good, very good special effects, predictable at the end,  and I would have liked it. (I went shopping  :-) ). T said it was " a really bad-ass shoot 'em up, Mom, might have been to bloody for you...."

Hmmm....no zombies and no vampires....I would like it.  :wink:

Saw them both liked Salt a lot more than RED.  I was surprised at Salt because it was such a new idea.  I hope there is a sequel.

I doubt it is as good as the original with Charlie Bronson! But hey, remakes have been known to be almost as good! I hear the new True Grit is pretty good, even though I have a tuff time thinkin' of Jeff Bridges as a hardcore cowboy.

I just watched RED the other night, and really liked it.  Ashton Kuchers dad did a great job!
