Salt

For the first time I have no quote! It's so much harder when we're at the theater than at home. At home, I just pause, ask Brandon, "Is that our headline?" and then type it in the notepad on my phone. I tried that during the A-Team but with the others I just had to go from memory. It's not that Salt was awful or not memorable, but to be fair there wasn't a whole heck of a lot of dialog to it, just a lot of running and shooting and stunts. Full disclosure: we're firmly Team Angelina, and we'll watch and enjoy pretty much any of her movies. She's always watchable so we had a good time. It's not as awful as the reviews make it out to be, but it's not her best. We liked the story, which was interesting in the way that it tied back into actual historical events. Ultimately the movie suffered not from the script or the plot, but from the ridiculous nature of some of the stunts. If the director had not gone for the spectacular in every stunt sequence the film may have garnered kinder reviews. They tried to make her out to be some kind of super hero, which she was not. Also, it would have been nice to see a bit more of her relationship with her husband because that would have helped establish the motivations for her behavior.
