Day 39 and I watched The Ladykillers. The Ladykillers is about a hodgepodge group of criminals who get together and scheme to rob a casino. They also decide to set up base in an old lady's basement. I enjoyed this movie mostly for the dialogue. Tom Hanks plays a professor who talks extremely eloquently and seeing him talking to anyone is good for a smirk. If that's not your cup of tea Marlon Wayans does his usual black dude heavy slang talk and it's good for a laugh most of the time. There's also J.K. Simmons who plays a guy who is almost smart enough to do what he tries to do all the while dealing with IBS. There's also a doofus football player and an awesome asian guy who everyone calls "The General." I love movies like this that have a bunch of quirky personalities interacting with one another. There plan hits snags along the way, of course, and I never really felt like the movie was dragging. This is a remake of an older movie and I'd be interested in seeing that just to see the differences. There's better movies out there but I don't think you can really go too wrong if you decide to rent this some night.
The Ladykillers gets 3.8 fingers out of 5
