So they did an origin story, of sorts. Not a bad way to handle it, without crapping all over the original.
I thought the original was about an old British gent, lol. I never thought it was the series. But I enjoyed it anyway.
Quite different from the series
Not getting married is a viable lifestyle choice, then you only have yourself to disappoint. Anyway, has anyone seen Boyhood? It's playing at the local olde time theater.
Not bad until the last scene. It was just too stupid. I know it's just a movie, but what soldier would get on top of a tank and open the hatch looking in. I would think the SOP would be to open hatch, drop grenade, then close hatch.
Edward Woodward starred in the original but what agency he'd worked for, before retiring, was left rather nebulous.
There were several implied references to MI6.
Arcane fact: the guy who did the score for the TV show is the son of a CIA officer (and did all the sounds for Sunny's beloved Blackberry Bold).
So I can expect a lot of BJ's during the movie? Awesome!

Just saw Imitation Game last night. One of the best in 2014, imo. Cumberbatch was superb!

Agree. The Guest was pretty damn good. Given their budget and the lack of stars - very impressive work.
Saw this about a week back.......it is indeed good. Kind of a different play on the time travel paradox. I still don't fully "get it" but it's interesting to say the least. That's the reason I liked Triangle so much, once you fully understand it, EVERYTHING makes sense and can be explained. This is more like the 2001 type of mind **** where you're left with different interpretations in the end. Either that or I'm too dumb to understand the "clear" right way to interpret all the events.
I won't bother. Seems too much like an attempt by a Foreign company to manipulate Americans.
Whiplash is terrific, bonus if you like jazz. Theory of Everything was a big disappointment, a movie about a scientist that contains virtually no science. The whole movie centered around Hawking's marriage.
Watched it yesterday. Any budget was spent on the gun scenes but it was an ok watch. BTW, who the heck lets their daughter go out wearing stuff like that (not that i'm complaining)?
