Movie Review: Wanted
I’m going to preface this by saying that I was moderately excited to see Wanted. From the trailer, I was anticipating lots of crazy bullet-bending action, car chases, and, well, Angelina Jolie. In fact, I recommend you go watch the trailer right now. I’ll wait. It’s pretty good.
That done with, this film was more or less appalling, and you definitely shouldn’t waste time on the full thing. It’s one of those movies that, at times, becomes hilarious because of its abject awfulness, but not with enough frequency to in any way redeem it. This is the point at which I would normally tell you that this review contains spoilers, but that might make it seem as though there is some part of this movie which I could ruin even more.
Spam
I’ve had to disable comments because I’m getting spammed. Unfortunately I’m going to have to put in a captcha to prevent this, so that kind of sucks. I’ll try to do this as soon as I get a chance. Blarg.
I’m Not Fat (Anymore)
If you search online for information about losing weight, you will find no shortage of material. As a result of previous experience (detailed below), I say that you can pretty much place any of it into one of two distinct camps: either it advocates the old, tired adage of “diet and exercise”, or it is utter dreck. Anyone who tells you differently is trying to sell you something, and you can guess which category it falls into.
