Regarding Wick’s Review
Woah. I didn’t love this movie, but I didn’t expect you to absolutely loathe it movie, Wick. I do agree with you on a lot of your critiques, though. Notably the script and the fact that many good actors were just wasted. I hope to God the unrated version’s a hell of a lot better than the theatrical. But I don’t plan on wasting my money on that.

Wick

I don’t hate Will Ferrell either. For instance, I thought I gave him a pretty fair shake in Semi-Pro, which now looks like the movie that started his downward slide from “can’t miss” status.

It’s interesting that you two guys gave The Other Guys such different ratings. I’ll have to catch it on a plane or in a hotel room to determine who I agree with more.
