Movie Review: EXILED

Yesterday Amy and I went to see Exiled, a Chinese shoot-em-up, at downtown's Living Room Theaters.

Nice theaters, those. Very comfy and slick, and they use words like "cuisine" and "fusion," so you know it's upscale.

The movie was good, if not spectacular. It was very well made, but had a bit of a been-there-done-that quality. The Oregonian had me believing it would be chock-a-block with action, and it does have several gunfight scenes, but the overall mood and pacing is more subdued than I expected.

In the end I decided it was worth the trip more for the theater -- we'd never been to this place -- than for the movie.

Iris stayed home and watched Knocked Up (again) and Cleo was out with Andrea seeing Across the Universe.

It was a quiet, not very bouyant autumn Sunday, the last day of September.
