I convinced Bill to take me to the movies on Sunday. Since he was reluctant to go, I picked a movie that I thought he would enjoy.... we went to see "RED":
This movie was smart! It was action-packed! It had GREAT one-liners! And I caught Bill and I chuckling a few times (in between car chases, grenade launchers, and assassination attempts). It was almost joyful to see Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and the ice-cold Helen Mirren play "Retired (and) Extremely Dangerous" (=RED) ex-CIA agents counter the CIA operations to take them out of the game. Richard Dreyfus made a guest appearance as an egotistical millionaire. And Mary-Louise Parker was just delightful.
I give this movie as solid "8" out of 10 on the Rodgers movie-rating scale. It was pure entertainment.
I told Bill that when we get older, he can be a "RED" (a.k.a. retired & extremely dangerous) person and I would like to be a "REI". No, not like "REI" in Pacific Northwest outdoor recreation sales! I want to be "Retired & Extremely INTELLIGENT". It could happen...
AND we saw another awesome trailer for "The Green Hornet", coming in January 14, 2011:
