Movie Thoughts: Mr Brooks

Mr. Brooks

AD's friend recommended this movie, so we Netflix'd it to see what all his fuss was about.  I knew Kevin Costner was in it and that there was some sort of Jekll/Hyde thing going on in the plot.   And that is about all you need to know.

There seems to be some sort of virus in Hollywood now that is making script writers add extra plot twists to movies that don't need them.  Mr Brooks suffers from this virus.  But, if you can get past that, its an enjoyable enough thriller.  Not great, but a solid 3 stars. 

Also, Demi Moore has clearly had some work done on her face and I found it very distracting.  I wonder if that is why she wore her hair down the whole movie, because she's got extra skin stapled back there....ew! 

Dane Cook is also in this movie.  And I still want to punch him in the face.

I actually really enjoyed that movie. It was solid fun. Certainly far from perfect, but definitely one of those sort of films that I like to sit back with some nachos with. :D

Yeah, good popcorn flick. Except we were out of popcorn! So I had cookies and milk...which didn't quite fit the mood. ;)
