DVD: Mr & Mrs Smith

I decided I had to make a dent into the piles of unwatched DVDs I have sitting, well, basically everywhere. And thus, Mr & Mrs Smith it was.

You know, I didn't realize that the movie was written by Simon Kinberg, he of the X-Men fame. Curious. But the movie itself wasn't as good as I remembered it. Yeah, it's a fun action comedy that rests entirely on the chemistry between the leads - but I missed something deeper than just sexual attraction between them. I mean, I get that it's a comedy, but... There were moments here and there, but remember Undercover Blues with Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner? Another spy couple comedy but the Blues had so much love for each other and their child... I missed that here.

So, that's one movie down. Let's see if I can watch another... 9 in the next 9 days? 10 movies in total? That should make a slight dent into my stocks - a very slight one! Yes, I'm a hoarder.

DVD: GI Joe 2

Tonight, I chose to watch GI Joe 2: Retaliation. And there were several things I really loved about it. Sure, as a whole it's rather silly. But Duke and Roadblock's friendship was a thing to behold! Just like Lady Jaye and Flint's possible ship - they reminded me of AoS' Huntingbird so much, especially since Adrianne Palicki is playing both Jaye and Bobbi! But my most favorite bit of all?

Byung-hun Lee aka Storm Shadow. Dear Jesus on a pogo stick! That man is so attractive my heart goes wild just from watching him. He is, hands down, one of the most attractive people I've ever seen. I was so happy that Storm Shadow turned out to be not so bad in this movie, actually a good guy for once! I wish to know more about him! And I would ship him with both Snake Eyes and Flint! Man, oh man, Storm Shadow! *dolphin noises* He made this movie for me. I went in for Channing Tatum and left a huge Byung-hun Lee fan! That's why I'm so happy he will be in The Magnificent Seven remake. He'll be either a bad guy or he'll die, I bet, but him and Matt Bomer in one movie together? Eeep!
