Weekend of January 16, 2014: Two Movies From Two Iconic Directors: American Sniper, Blackhat

Two movies from two iconic "macho man" movie directors: Blackhat by Michael Mann, and American Sniper by Clint Eastwood. Two testosterone filled movies that I am not interested in at all.

Norse god-like Chris Hemsworth playing man.


Review for Blackhat has been terrible, otherwise I might be interested in a cyber espionage movie. Poster shows actor Chris Hemsworth as a computer hacker, and cerebral MIT graduate. However, the men carrying guns at the bottom of the poster wants viewers to have no doubt that this is an action movie featuring guns and not just computers!


Every man Bradley Cooper playing god.

As for American Sniper. I don't like the glorification of a person who made it a career bragging and lying about his supposed feats of executing people summarily behind their backs with a sniper gun in the name of patriotic duty. I normally like Bradley Cooper okay, but will pass on this one.
