2008 re-make/re-imagining of the 1951 original, with Keanu Reeves - who I felt would be perfect for this role - playing the alien Kla'atu.

Unfortunately, the majority of the film is slow and plodding, with no real connection between Reeves and Jennifer Connelly, with a (very young) Jaden Smith playing a kid who just deserves a good slapping, and with the anti-war stance of the original replaced with an environmental message instead (that's neither good nor bad, just an observation).

One that I may watch on TV if nothing else on, but not one I would be going out of my way to look for or even make time to sit down and view.

My first Dragon love
These are as traditional as epic fantasy gets. If you want to see every trope fantasy has to offer, this is the series for you. This is the very beginning of a world that includes generations of characters, side books to explore the origins of favorite characters and races, role playing games, podcasts, a rich history of world building, gods and magic, dragons and orcs, Dwarfs and elves and other things.

One of Bronson's better cop flicks
Every time I see Charles Bronson playing a policeman, I always think maybe this was a role Clint Eastwood turned down as their styles and film choices in the 1970s were very similar.

This was a good one, though, as it was action packed and had some great car chase scenes. Everything you look for in a mob, action cop film is here and will not disappoint.
