First we have "The International" starring Clive Owen and Naomi Watts. These two are trying to bring down a multi-national bank because of their ties to weapon sales. It is a good thriller, I give it 3 penguins.
Next we have "Smoke Jumper" starring the pretty face of the game show "Dog Eat Dog". Before I watched this I wasn't sure she could act. I'm still not sure. Brooke plays a fire-person (go politically correctness) whose father dies in (who didn't see this coming) a fire. She then decides to become a smoke jumper much to the chagrin of most of her family. 2 penguins.
Also we have "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)" starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. Shaw leads a group of 4 men trying to get 1 million dollars in exchange for the hostages they have on a subway car. Really good 5 penguins. This movie is where Quentin Tarantino got the idea of naming bad guys for colors instead of names for "Reservoir Dogs".
Speaking of "Reservoir Dogs" that is one great movie. Now be forewarned there is a lot of language in this one and it gets a little bloody. However it is a real good crime film. A group of bad guys known only as Mr. Black or Mr. Blue to each other, set out to rob a diamond emporium. To say things go bad is an understatement. 5 penguins.
Lastly I just finished season one of "Chuck". This TV show centers around Chuck who works at a Best Buy type of store. One day he receives an e-mail that downloads all of the CIA and NSA files on our enemies directly into his brain. Now having the only copy of the info he must be protected. It is funny and Chuck kinda reminds me of my Brother-in-Law Dave. A guy who is nerd-like with vast amounts of information in his brain. Sorry Dave but I say that with love. The show and my Brother-in-Law get 5 penguins each.
