If anyone is looking for a solid little action movie, I really enjoyed John Wick. It is exactly as advertised: Keanu Reeves revenge killing a ton of dudes, so if that holds no appeal, don't go, as literally almost nothing else happens. But what it does, it does well and stylishly.
I agree with this EW.com review: "So it may be strange to say this about a movie that consists of Keanu Reeves wrecking dudes across an entire city for an hour and a half, but John Wick feels surprisingly small for a modern action movie. And it’s such a great feeling."
I am glad I knew the basic premise, though, so I was emotionally prepared for The Thing That Happens that sets of the chain of events of the rest of the movie. ( spoilers for the premise/first 15 minutes of the movie or so )
A solid action movie, with something extra for those who find Keanu in a suit appealing (mrorw). Bridget Regan and Adrianne Palicki are in it, and although BR has a pretty minor role, it's always nice to see her. Just throwing this out there, since I know the movie isn't setting the box office on fire.
In TV news, I am loving Reign. Megan Follows is a national treasure and absolutely the best thing about the show, but the earnestness of the cracked out craziness of the show is a close second. A twist last week made me cackle. Not laugh, but cackle with glee. It is so very entertaining, and excellent eye candy to boot. I need Catherine icons.
