last weekend - quadruple outing!

hhmm thot i already posted this .. well apparently not... so here goes

Colombiana : Zoe Saldana was volatile in this action packed drama about a little girl who goes Rambo after watching her parents killed by Colombian drug lords. After her performance in Losers, she manages to pull off this role of an revenge driven assassin who has to battle her pain in order to get payback.

Tinker,Tailor,Soldier,Spy : Gary Oldman leads a strong cast in a throwback to the 70s style spy drama based on the role made famous by Alec Guinness in the tv adaptation. slightly slow moving, but still good drama and credible performances by Firth, Hardy n co to back up Oldman. Was ok to watch, but a little draggy at times.

Friends with Benefits : This one took me by surprise.. i was expecting the usual rom-com but it was actually hilariously good. Kunis and Timberlake pull of their roles well, and there's a lot of humour interjected to the awkard-at-first relation they have, but with the usual predictability out of the way, the two of them manage to pull this one off quite well. And with Patricia Clarkson having the best lines (HA HA!) it made for good entertainment!

30 minutes or less : Eisenberg returns to his comedy roots with Aziz Ansari in a comedy about a loser pizza delivery guy who gets a bomb strapped to his chest by two other losers who want a quick buck and make him rob a bank for him.. makes sense?
Well that's the plot and basically the whole movie. There are some laughs in it.. but i'd keep this one for DVD or downloading if u fancy some gags.
