RED the movie. It means "Retired, Extremely Dangerous". The NYTimes didn't like it. So? Watched it on video last night and had a blast. Funny, exciting, engrossing & wonderful camera work. OK, so it is a bit tried and true material but who cares. It's well done & the actors are great. Get some popcorn and go for it.

I've been wanting to see this one. Didn't know Karl Urban (Dr. McCoy in the alternate Star Trek movie, right?) was in it. Now I HAVE to watch it. Thanks for the critique.

I do believe you are correct. The new Dr Bones is in it. And here I've been racking my brain wondering why he looked familiar.

So happy to help with your memory difficulties. Now if I could find someone to help with MINE!

What was the question?
