Anybody seen the movie "Rendition"?
I thought it sucked.

Even though it starred my Jakey-poo, it was long, boring and heavy-handed.

It was quite a disappointment.

6. As you also said; "it sucked." and that's
what stuck in my mind but "boring" tells me even less.

Have a great night.

12. I'm sorry... would you like more info?

The movie is 122 minutes long, which is two hours and two minutes.

At the 50-minute mark, my date had to pee. He left and returned 2.3 minutes later, and hadn't missed a thing.

At the 1 hour 30 minute mark, I had to pee. I left and came back and hadn't missed a thing.

I'm not saying this movie will make you piss, but anecdotally.... ya know what I'm saying.

Reese Witherspoon was bad. Very very bad. Had she been her character from "Legally Blonde", she would've found her husband in the first 30 minutes. But she wasn't. She was a helpless housewife with a soccer ball stuffed under her dress.

Meryl Streep was good, though.

Edit: So was Alan Arkin, but he had a tiny part.

cool to have a little more detail about the parts of the movie that
you thought sucked but it's obvious you want to also be a smart ass
so; have a good night. :D

19. I'm sorry
what more detail do you want?

I thought I was pretty explicit.

Do you want to know exactly which lines of dialogue I found boring? That's unreasonable.

I think I explained my view pretty well. I'm not a professional reviewer like some here. If I were, I'd post a press release.

7. No. But I'm looking forward to 'Lions for Lambs' by Robert Redford
Edited on Mon Oct-29-07 11:33 PM by Richardo
Despite the presence of Tom Cruise in it. x(

Have you seen any information in the public domain regarding this movie?

10. No. But I have a lot of faith in a Redford-directed movie
'Spy Game' is still one of my favorites.

It was just off the mark. Who played Reese's old friend in DC?

15. That was Peter Saarsgard (sp?)
who is married to Maggie Gyllenhaal. God help their children if they use a hyphenated name.

For some reason he reminded me of Ewan MacGregor. That is how much my mind wandered during this film. I also saw Michael Clayton this week-end. I want to see that one again.

17. I looked it up
it's "Sarsgaard"


Hi, my name is Dylan Gyllenhaal-Sarsgaard.

Unless I'm working in a lutefisk factory, that resume is going in the trash.
