Sweetie and I had a date night and went to see the thriller RED. It is loads of fun. RED is an ancronym for “Retired – Extremely Dangerous.” Basically the retired guys and gals played by Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, and Helen Mirren saw something they shouldn’t of in central America back in the 1980’s and our Vice President wants to take them out and so sicks the CIA on them.
Its really no contest as the Generation X slacker agents get mowed down by the Boomer old guard. Plus, you can guess that Bruce Willis takes the best looking GenY woman as his own. She is a little resistant at first so he has to use duct tape and ropes to bind her up and throw her over his shoulder. Don’t you love old fashioned romances?
Check out the web site. Lots of fun and games there.
I give the movie 7 stars out of 10. Go see it; don’t take the kids.

We pre-boomer guys grew up on those old romantic westerns where the hero kisses his horse and rides off into the sunset.
