Not In Fredstrom's Most Wanted

After watching the D-Backs, mostly Mark Reynolds, hand it to the Brew Crew, The Fredstrom found himself at a late night movie- Wanted.  Who wouldn't want to see Angelina Jolie, fast cars, guns, and action scenes?  Well the Fredstrom did get to see some of that but was left a bit disappointed with curving bullets and a little kooky plot.  The Fredstrom won't ruin any details but there were a few parts that he had to say, "Come on! Really?" However, it is every regular nice guys wish to tell off their boss, get picked up by some hot chick, given a gun, and handed over $3million.  The Fredstrom won't be crossing his fingers for any of these shenanigans to head towards Arrowhead!
The Fredstrom does enjoy plots that bring something a little different to the screen and Wanted did do that. There were some really cool action scenes and a plot twist that created a dramatic ending.  This action packed film earns a cool 6 Picasso's still yielding to Iron Man and the Hulk.
Coming soon: Wall-E and Hancock.

Seeing as I just had a baby, I have not been able to keep up with your movie watching, but I have to say that I thought this movie was pretty good! No one said, "Awe, come on" during Hulk...people took that movie at face value and appreciated the "shenanigans" of that movie. I felt the same way with Wanted...no, none of this could really happen, but isn't that why we go to the movies?

Momma Bling Blaeng! Good to hear that you are doing okay and that you haven't lost your sense of sarcasm! Wait, so Hulk wasn't real? What? No?!

You bring up a good point, the only retort the Fredstrom can think of is that when you see comic book/superhero type characters you expect things to be a little more out there. When it involves just human beings, more non-fiction like, sometimes things get a little out of hand.... purely the Fredstrom's perspective... Glad you are back, look forward to seeing you around school soon.
