The Movie: RED

      I can't say enough about this movie. Seeing it today with two kids, ages twelve and fifteen, we all enjoyed it. It was meant for almost anyone to watch, age appropriate of course, not meant for a ten year-old because of all the shooting. Parents it's up to what what your child can handle and should see, bottom line-now back to the movie.
        When I was younger I didn't care much for Bruce Willis, but as he's gotten older, his sense of himself has come through in his acting as well as his sense of humor. Helen Mirren was awesome as well as Richard Dreyfuss and MORGAN FREEMAN. These actors are sensational. The actor who play Mirren's boyfriend is an actor who has played a variety of characters, and at one time played a part that really made me hate him, and I swore I would never watch him again. Yet here he was and I have seen him before this and after that nasty part he played and he was always good, but you know how one part can portray someone as"that person" you never forget?
            Well I never forgot, but today he just seemed different in RED, and played his part to perfection, with a Russian accent yet.
   Richard Dreyfus played a gangster who ends up being killed near the end. Let me not forget John Malkovich-Oh man was he weird, great,funny, and had  part that couldn't be played by many. Bruce Willis had a girlfriend in this movie who did a nice job too. Back to Morgan Freeman. He played a surprise part, as did Dreyfuss and these men just worked as if they did this all their lives. Oh, can't forget the young man, handsome as he is who played a CIA agent-yup, don't know his name either, but he too was enjoyable-last but not least in the small part he had was Ernest Borgnine.
   He brought back smiles simply in remembering his old sense of humor.
This story did have a little romance, mystery, thrill, and surprises. Go see it if you want to relax and be entertained at the same time.
