Stray Observations: Eagle Eye
or….I watch shit movies so you don’t have to watch shit movies.
-Do we live in a world where Michael Chiklis is the most reasonable man in the Department of Defense?
-Why does the most advanced supercomputer on Earth look like the backdrop of a Lenny Kravitz video?
-There is more product placement in this movie than in two hours of Super Bowl ads. Should our lives come to an early end, I shall be driving my Toyota Prius to the edge of the Glen Helen Blockbuster Pavilion, wearing nothing but a Jessica Simpson feathered poncho, coating each leg in KY “Yours and Mine” Jelly.
-Why does Shia LaBeouf a) have the same sloppy New England via Echo Park accent in every movie and b) look more and more like 1990 Dave Gahan?
-Who gave Michelle Monaghan permission to act? She was the one uber-bummer in Gone Baby Gone. 10 years older than Shia LaBeouf and 50 pounds thinner.
-Rosario Dawson? Really?
-I know this movie had a plot, but I refused to actually pay attention to it because I couldn’t rest any faith in a basic premise that requires one to believe that a computer can internalize the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and then use that passion to usurp the government’s line of succession.
-Or something.
