My internet friends CJ and Kathy are part of this meme where you post your all time favorite films. I'm not sure I have more than about FOUR favorite films, but I have films I have seen that I can share. However, unlike CJ, who says the meme cites there is no need to explain why you like the film, I prefer the way my internet friend Birgit reviews films (always hilarious, often irreverent, occasionally off color, and fun to read). Her synopses are not to be missed.
Today I'm reviewing one of those films I gladly watch every time it comes on cable tv.
This is the movie poster. Any film that stars Bruce Willis rates high on my list of films I love. We all know how much I love Die Hard!! This is the story of a Retired, Extremely Dangerous former CIA agent played by Willis. This film was released in 2010. There is a follow up RED 2, but I like the original best.
Rotten Tomatoes has a great synopsis that is better than any I could give:
Frank, Joe, Marvin and Victoria used to be the CIA's top agents, but the secrets they know just made them the Agency's top targets. Now framed for assassination, they must use all of their collective cunning, experience and teamwork to stay one step ahead of their deadly pursuers and stay alive. To stop the operation, the team embarks on an impossible, cross-country mission to break into the top-secret CIA headquarters, where they will uncover one of the biggest conspiracies and cover-ups in government history.This film is shown often on cable tv and may be on the internet. If you like action, humor, and Bruce Willis, you will LOVE this film. Helen Mirren is not to be missed, either.
I hope you liked my pick this week, although some of you may not like the action. Thanks for joining me for Saturday afternoon at the movies.
Glad you have a film that you can enjoy. Helen Mirren is a good actress. Hope the water stays away and have a good weekend, Valerie

And to yeseterday's post now:
ReplyDeleteI so hope the water levels go down very soon in your area - that is so sad to read - I wished I could help you!
You are a herb growing fairy and I love to see your herbs in this post - I din't know that when cilantro goes to seed the seeds are coriander.
I LOVE coriander and I love cilantro. It seems like coriander is the second generation of cilantro..isn't this exciting?! WOW!
Wish you a wonderful Saturday!
Lots of LOVE and LIGHT from

ReplyDeleteWe're Bruce Willis fans too. We love both Die Hard and RED. Eileen xx
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it was back in 2010 when this film was released. I saw it some time ago and I enjoyed it. Never watched RED 2 though.
