    Red 2 (2013)

    This light hearted action film has so many big names in it I'd hate to think how large the payroll was. The big names include Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

    The film is almost 2 hours long. After an hour I switched it off and did something else more interesting. It's not that it's crap or anything (well it is a bit I suppose). I did enjoy the hour that I watched but I didn't need to watch the second hour. I'm pretty sure that a weapon of mass destruction was the guts of the film, but honestly it could have been anything. The actors looked like they were having fun though. Well maybe not; they are actors after all.

    Nigel.

    I kind of had the same experience in the first RED, Nigel, so I'm not interested in the sequel.

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

      I think the whole reason why I liked it was the banter and chemistry between the actors!. It was infectious!.

        My wife and I enjoyed both RED movies (unusual in her case). It's tongue in cheek and aimed squarely at our demographic--a gentler version of The Expendables.

        Plus they have Helen Mirren (which automatically makes a movie worth watching at least once). :T

          Absolutely agree. Actually, I rather enjoyed both one and two.

            When the new BSG came out several years ago, I really enjoyed it, but then was not able to watch the last few seasons. I caught some of Caprica, which wasn't too bad. Then for this past Christmas, family gave me the entire new BSG on Blu Ray. I've really been eating it up, revisiting how good it...

            If you want to see some real acting then this is a wonderful piece of video to seek out. Unfortunately you can’t buy it yet but with an ounce of initiative you will find it easily. It is readily available as a 1Gb AVI file and because it’s a home recording of a BBC Two television broadcast they...
