OK, after getting off to an absolutely abysmal start to 2010, I'm hitting the reset button and pretending January never happened. The resolutions will be getting done, starting on Monday.

And since I haven't started my "Watch better movies" resolution, I watched the new "Taking of Pelham 123" last night. Save yourself the time and just watch the original. This one is fairly lifeless with John Travolta overacting and seeming to think that saying "mother fucker" a lot would make him seem cool. The original also had a nice sense of humor to it, something that this one is laughing. Also, it seems like Tony Scott really phoned this one in and spent half of his time just moving the camera from left to right. There are a couple of Deja Vu moments in which you see almost the exact same shot and camera move as you did two minutes earlier.

I should have known after the final credits, that were ridiculously cheap looking and ended with a laughable simple effect on Tony Scott's name that this was a paycheck movie. There was one nice acting moment for Denzel in it but all in all, the film is a waste of time and a shoddy remake.
