Movie Monday: Eagle Eye

No spoilers this week!  Justin and I had been looking forward to seeing Eagle Eye since the previews started.  I really like Shia LeBeouf and it seemed like an interesting concept.  I got more interested when I read an article about how Steven Spielberg had come up with the concept for the movie over 20 years ago and it just hadn't gotten made, and at the time he came up with it, many of the things in it were more futuristic - cell phones, computers etc.  In any case, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.  It was a good action movie, and the two main characters were played really well with good chemistry.  Do you know what the best thing about the movie for me was though?  I didn't figure out every single thing before the end of the movie.  I watch a lot of TV and movies, so I frequently find that I have figured out the ending or at least a main part of it before the movie is over.  This time, I didn't!  Granted it is totally possible that happened because I'm so tired, but either way it made it that much more enjoyable.  If you're an action movie fan, a computer based sci-fi fan, a Shia LeBouf fan, you'll enjoy this movie.  With all of the explosive action, it's definitely worth seeing on the big screen too.  

New movies I can't wait to see:  Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, and Zak and Miri Make a Porno
