Smokin' Aces

Smokin' Aces

Smokin’ Aces was so fun to watch even though half the time I had no idea what was goin on…but who cares!? Its Ryan Reynolds for fuck’s sake! Anyways! There were other actors in there like Andy Garcia who’s character keeps you guessing whether he’s in on the whole thing, Ray Liotta who looks a whole lot better than he did in Revolver, he just looked 'ugh' in that, I've always thought that he had the most beautiful eyes and its still apparent even though everything else is wrinkled, Ben ‘Fat’ Affleck who as usual looks like he’s acting and he knows the camera’s there, Peter Berg who got really old! Very unlike dry sarcastic totally cute and unfeeling Dr. Billy Kronk we are all used to, Jason Bateman who in recent times just loves poking fun at himself, Jeremy Piven who makes it so easy to hate him, I might almost bet my last cigarette he’s a wife-beater!, Matthew Fox who’s almost unrecognizable but I recognized him! There can’t be someone else with that sharp nose and straight jaw! Nestor Carbonell, who has come a looooong way from his Suddenly Susan days. Alicia Keys, okay I have nothing to say about her.


Anyways! Did I say Ryan Reynolds already?!?! Ahh…brings me back to secondary school days, Two Guys A Girl And A Pizza Place and entire exercise books filled with Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds...okay, you get the picture!

I swear I earnestly and diligently tried to watch the movie with an uninformed movie-goer’s perspective but I just couldn’t help but sigh every time he came onscreen! So pardon me if I didn’t get what the heck was goin on but this is what I remember…..

Piven is a magician and a junkie. A magical junkie!
Liotta is *sigh* Reynold’s partner
Everybody wants Piven dead (Can’t really blame them)
There are like 5 contract killers hired by some big mafia boss for the hit
There is no love interest for *sigh* Reynold’s character, yay!!

Oh and *sigh* Reynold’s character is a cop, forgot that for a second there!

4 pills out of 5


All for Reynolds! Biased, yes I know, but I don’t give a fuck!


And this is just so I can drool somemore! This is strictly for my benefit! And yours too, so you know who to stay off!
