Last night I watched Drive Angry starring Nicolas Cage, Amber Heard, and William Fichtner. I really wanted to like this one, but I had some issues with it. The language for one thing bothered me, plus the gratuitous nudity that was completely unnecessary. The one scene where Cage is having sex with a woman while killing a bunch of bad guys was just weird. The film was shot as a 3-D movie, and there are a few scenes where you can see that. The CGI wasn't great when used either. I liked the premise of the story, and thought the acting wasn't bad. I loved Fichtner as The Accountant. Easily the best part of the movie, in my opinion. But the language, especially in the first hour, detracted me a lot. Continual usage of the "F" word is not needed to make a movie entertaining.
Had a decent weekend, and work was ok today. Nothing to special. The time seemed to drag by for what seemed an eternity. Last night and this evening, Elizabeth and I have caught up with a few of our recorded shows on the TIVO. Watched a lot of Food Network stuff, as well as knocked out all Fallon and Conan we had.
Have tomorrow off. Besides getting the car serviced, I don't have a lot planned. Probably watch a movie or two. Elizabeth has been getting refocused on her schooling, so I usually watch something while she's doing her school work. Might even decide to watch something tonight after Castle.
