Hope Springs



Hope Springs was an awkward, superficial, romanticized story of two tropes that most definitely was not worth watching.

I can sum up Hope Springs in one word: lemonparty. Ugh. Gross. No one wants to see that stuff. The whole thing was awkward, uncomfortable, boring, and unrealistic. Roeper gave this movie an A; I don't remember why. He really led me astray here, though. I hated Kay for being so submissive; I hated Arnold for being so mean and leaving therapy sessions all the time; and I hated both of them for not communicating, ever.

Men in Black 3


MIB 3 was entertaining sort of from the perspective of "an episode of MIB," but they didn't have enough plot/ideas to stretch out for a full movie. Josh Brolin does do a great Tommy Lee Jones impression, though.

Someday I'll actually see a movie from 2013. I like MIB. Like every kid in the '90s, I liked the original. I even watched and liked the cartoon. I took a pass on MIB II, since it didn't look interesting and no one seemed to like it. Three got more favorable reviews (okay, Roeper liked it), and I like Josh Brolin, so I gave it a shot.

ETA: According to my records, I actually did see MIB II. I have absolutely no recollection of it, but there you are.

MIB 3 wasn't bad, I guess. It was what you would expect from an MIB movie. Will Smith did his usual Agent J. I did really like Brolin's Tommy Lee Jones impression. It was good. I didn't like Emma Thompson as Agent O. She just looked old. I didn't feel like there were enough interesting aliens. Some gross ones, but not interesting ones.

No Country for Old Men

Javier's weapons were pretty cool, but other than that, I don't see what was supposed to be so revolutionary about this.
