Starring: Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie), Liev "X-Men: Origins" Schreiber, Chiwetel "2012" Ejiofor,etc.
Loyal CIA agent Evelyn Salt goes on the lam after a Russian points her out as a "Russian spy". Moments later, Salt is on the run and uses all of her spy training to dodge bullets and a ruthless fellow spy (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who is determined to find her and kill her if necessary. Her only ally seems to be another fellow spy ( Liev Schreiber) plus her entomologist husband, who has gone missing. Although the plot and conspiracy are largely implausible, the nearly nonstop action and mayhem kept me on the edge of my seat. Arguably as good as or better than the "Bourne" movies, starring Matt Damon.
"Despicable Me" Animated
Starring: Gru ( Steve "The Office" Carell), etc.
Self-proclaimed "number one supervillain" Gru has been displaced by a young upstart named Vector, so with the help of dozens of "minions";he decides to steal the moon. Also, to get back at Vector, he adopts three young orphan girls, who can unwittingly help him sabotage Vector's impenetarable fortress. Against his expectations, the love he ends up feeling for "Margo, Edith and Agnes", his adopted daughters, ends up interfering with his nefarious plans. In spite of using freeze rays and other devices on unsuspecting people, it turns out Gru perhaps isn't such a bad guy after all. Mostly for kids, but I enjoyed it.
