I actually hate Gwyneth Paltrow as a person so much, that it's hard for me to watch movies that she's in. Even Iron Man. In my opinion this movie in unmemorable. But thanks for your great review.
It also made me realize how the Avengers movie is an acquired taste for me. I didn't like it when I watched it in the ciname, I thought that Battleship was more impressive. Now I can watch Avengers on a loop, I love it. I think I was unprepared for the pure fun that it is, the first time I watched it.
Interesting perspective. I'm weird when it comes to movies. I seldom watch a movie twice. I know you pick up on things in subsequent viewings. But I just prefer to go once through. With a few exceptions.
I have a memory of a gold fish so... if I haven't watched something in a while and I'm really into it, I feel like I'm watching for the first time, or it feels fresh at least. Unless it's a movie based on plot twists, the moment you know that one, you can't un-know it. But yeah, generally speaking if I like a movie, I will watch it endlessly. If something is not available for streaming, I will go to the cinema more than once (usually 3 times is my limit because I live really far away from the cinema). I am a statistical cliche.
I see, on average, two movies per week at the theater. Plus whatever I catch streaming. I admit, I watched No Escape last night on Showtime because I couldn't find anything else I felt like watching. I saw it at the theater as well. It was actually better than I thought it would be. In spite of the fact it is hard for me to take owen wilson seriously. Maybe I should review that one.
No Escape looks silly from the poster (I just googled the poster), so do review it. I am now swamped with work, and working on a lecture I'm going to give so I'm only watching movies for that (I watched Superman Return, it was so so bad on so many levels).
I may do that this evening. I just had to share news about Philip K. Dick. Amazon is making a new series (probably based on the great success they had with High Castle). It is an anthology of eight episodes based on Dick's work.
That sounds more interesting. I also hope you get to see IT sometime soon.
