Watched Salt! Jolie kicks-ass and I am pretty sure no other female actress tops her in the action department. Storyline is surprisingly not bad either! Blockbuster aside, underlying the movie is a propaganda against Russia. Actually to think about it, the whole of Hollywood has sort of been running propaganda against Russia. Weird huh to think that there has never been a positive angle on Russia filmed in Hollywood (well, none that I can recall of anyway).
The movie plays so beautifully... The sequence, the setting, the story.

Dearest Cecilia, the story can resume. The one I had been planning on that evening walk. I can become again the man who once crossed the surrey park at dusk, in my best suit, swaggering on the promise of life. The man who, with the clarity of passion, made love to you in the library. The story can resume. I will return. Find you, love you, marry you and live without shame. And on a some what related note: Oh how I hate wars... So many lives, so many dreams, so many promises goes unfulfilled...and all because of the greed of a few.
Honestly, this was/is the reason why I want to go to Ireland one day! 1. Countryside Ireland looks so beautiful :) :) 2. Irish accent 3. Gerard Butler (he's Scottish, but close enough!) 4. Irish pubs
Two favorite scenes: 1. (at the start of the movie) Gerry: I did something bad Gerry: Or is it something maybe you think I did Holly: *rolls eyes and stares* Gerry: No I did it. I did it. Its a bad bad thing I did. Gerry: I'm sorry, you have to let me in on this Gerry: Are you going to wait till we get into the apartment to talk to me? Holly: *furiously nodded* Gerry: Are you going to make me sleep in the bathtub again? 2. (reminiscing the first time they met) I'm gonna be greeedy coz I love the whole scene!!! from the walking scene, to the dog scene, to the kiss, to the bet. Gerry: where you going? Holly: no stay. stay Gerry: you have my jacket Holly. i know. i'm keeping it unless we meet again Gerry: i bet we do Holly: thats a bet you're gonna have to win because if we do, if we do meet again, then it'd be the end of it you know. Gerry: the end of what? Holly: life as we know it
So, I'm gonna rewatch it like NOW! Zombie mode tmrw. But its ok, its orientation day tmrw.
