I had a weekend to myself in March (My girlfriend, Jackie, was gone to Mexico for spring break), so I thought I would rent a bunch of movies that she would not be terribly interested in watching. The four movies I chose to rent, for better or worse, were RED, The American, Book of Eli, and The Expendables. I was mostly happy with three of the four choices.

RED (Retired Extremely Dangerous) stars Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malcovich, Helen Mirren, and Mary-Louise Parker. I was expecting this movie to have action, comedy, to be over-the-top, corny, etc. It was all that, and it made me happy. Not a great movie, but I thought it was fun to watch....
