Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 4912654, member: 7894"] Watched a couple mediocre at best movies this week. "The Kill Room" had potential, but it didn't quite get there. Uma Thurman owns an art gallery that is struggling mightily. It seems she used to be a fairly big player in the art world but has become pretty much a joke. Out of desperation she agrees to launder money through her gallery for Samuel L. Jackson, who in turn is running a Jewish bakery and is under the thumb of some Russian mobsters. To make the whole thing go they feature paintings by an unknown and unheard of artist who goes by "The Bagman"...who happens to be a cleaner for the mobsters. He almost instantly blows up into the hottest artist around. The whole thing is a scathing critique of modern art, dealers/gallery owners, collectors, and anybody else within the periphery. Also watched "Freelance" with John Cena and Alison Brie (and Christian Slater, totally forgot about that guy). Cena is retired special forces, struggling with hating his job and having his marriage fall apart (oh yeah, Alice Eve is briefly on screen as his wife). Slater was in his unit, pulls him back in for a 1 time only gig working for his private security/paramilitary outfit. He's supposed to babysit Brie, who is a disgraced journalist trying to get back on track w/ an exclusive interview with a South American (made up country) dictator. Of course they end up in the middle of a coup attempt and everything goes spectacularly wrong. Seems like this movie couldn't really decide if it was going for action or comedy. It was okay, but forgettable. [/QUOTE]
