We Might Be Through With The Past, But The Past Ain't Through With Us

We managed to see The Mechanic yesterday, a remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson movie, and as expected, it was pretty solid. It was action-packed with quite a few gruesome killings and a somewhat flimsy story, but let's be honest, you are not seeing a Jason Statham movie to discover the meaning of life.

While we were waiting for the movie to start, we saw a few upcoming movie clips, and now we are looking forward to The Eagle, Limitless (maybe when it comes on DVD), and of course Battle: Los Angeles. That trailer looks so epic that it gives me goosebumps each time I see it. For crying out loud, give us a new Transformers 3 teaser, will ya?

Yesterday was a bit of a letdown. We did our errands, groceries, and what was supposed to be a trip to the movie theater turned into an impromptu five-hour nap. Maybe we'll try to see The Mechanic later today again.

We watched some Chuck, House, played more Plants vs. Zombies on NDS, Magicka, Eve Online (setting skills), and Stronghold Kingdoms. We recorded the Australian Open men's finale last night but haven't gotten around to watching it yet, so we're steering clear of any news sites so we don't spoil the result.
