A River Runs Through It (1992)Head on over to my DVD review of “A River Runs Through It” (Deluxe Edition) at eyecravedvd.com or read on for the movie review.

“A river runs through it” is the Academy Award winning screen adaptation (1992, Best Cinematography) of Norman Maclean’s memoir directed by Robert Redford. Starring Brad Pitt, Craig Sheffer, and Tom Skerritt in an American family drama set in the 1930s in a beautifully shot rural Montana.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a nice popcorn flick. There is nothing much to it really. We get treated with a plain story, plain acting and lots of bullets being fired. It sure is fun to watch, sort of. Still, this is what I tend to call one of those 0bwfs (zero-brainwave flicks) you watch when your brain is on standby.

The explosions will keep you from falling asleep (not that the movie is boring, it isn’t – no really… well ok maybe a bit), and no, there are no nude scenes that would make the male audience drool – rated 15PG – but we get treated with some knifes hidden in interesting soft spots.

This is basically your 08/15 action movie with marriage counselling to boot.
