This past weekend, while on vacay, I decided to head to the movies to check out Don Cheadle’s new flick “Traitor”. Up until now, I though everything Don touched turned into gold because he is just that good but in the case of “Traitor”, Cheadle’s touch did not produce gold, it produced brass. As a matter of fact, it produced a brass dildo that fucked me out of $10.50.
In “Traitor” Don had an OK performance in general but the movie overall was a piece of shit. Well, piece of shit is a little harsh, so let me just say that it was not worth the $10.50 that I shelled out for it. Maybe if I paid the twilight price of 5 bucks I would have better feelings about it.
The story line was focused but yet disjointed at the same time. The start of the movie had no tie to the story in a cohesive way. The characters were not developed at all & they popped out of nowhere & disappeared as quickly as they came. Looking back, I still have no clue who Don was, what team he actually worked for or anything else.
The only thing that I walked away with from the movie was a feeling that border patrol agents are stupid (yes I know it is a move but also in real life), Jihad is not a good name for a domestic pet, Muslim extremists are angry & dangerous as hell. There was very little else to walk away with. And basically, this is the type of movie that you rent from Blockbuster when they are out of the really good movies.
I really don’t have much else to say about the flick except that I want a partial refund.
If you seen’t it, what are your thoughts???
I pissed a few people off with my last movie review so don’t trip on me of you see this one. I’m just saying!!!
In other Entertainment news:
My show “The Shield” is back on the air in its final season. The 1ft episode aired last night & it was hot as hell. I love to hate so many of the characters & will be watching to the bitter end.
If you are a fan of this show & are watching, I wanna bet you that Vic will be fucking that FBI agent by the 3rd episode.

I actually went to see this movie last night. I needed to kill some time before my GF got out of class. I figured why not support the brother Cheadle. I thought the movie was ok at best. Don did his thing. I agree that he is not a leading man. I love the fact that he is producing his own projects. I just think he needs to be a supporting actor. I love Don Cheadle but this was not the business. I enjoyed it but it was ok at best. Definatley a rental. I wasnt to mad about paying cause Don needs the money. I could’ve just watched “College”.

Invisble Woman – Feel free boo. I would love to hear what you readers have to say.
Smitty – LOL!!! And he so gets mad props for producing. Next time I hope he adds a better finish, better character development & a less bull shit plot.

You would’ve really been mad if you lived in LA and paid $13.50… they need a movie satisfaction money-back guarantee these days!

Hilarious!
The previews really didn’t move me, so I wasn’t interested in seeing it. Something about the plot bugs me–not quite sure what. But, thanks for the review, which confirms that I can wait ’til it come out on DVD!

I love The Shield!! That FBI agent is going to get it and she doesn’t even know it yet. LOL And I am so sick of Shane and his frog-eyed self stirring up isht everywhere he goes. When is he going to die?!
I’m drawing a blank on what happened between Dutch and Dani last season though. Did they do the nasty?
Bygbaby / September 5, 2008
Lola – LOL!!!
Peejai – Yeah home girls has no clue that she is about to become the last victim of of his poison penis.
And why is Corrine's character getting weakr & weaker. She should have packed up & left a long time ago. Talk about co-dependence. And it looks like Cassidy will be getting turned out into the streets. I'm just saying.
Dutch & Dani did hit it last season. How unlikely right!!!
I don't care if Shane lives or dies at this point, I just want to see someone blast him in the mouth one good hard time to knock out those horrible veneers. That would be his payback for fucking yo Tavon
He must have the worst set of veneers in hollywood & they make him look like a horse by the mouth.
Claudette (sp?) is my girl & I hope she get Vic in the end, he cannot walk away with the season as an unbeatable bitch!!!
You got me started. LOL

OMG I have spent the last 5 years hoping they would bring Tavon back. Dammit Shane!! He definitely needs to die!
I’m also glad Billings is back for some much needed comic relief. His interrogation of Lorena and getting found out about faking injury was hilarious.
Although I don’t think Vic should walk away completely unscathed, I would be totally depressed if the show ended with him dead or in jail for a long time. Even though he is obviously flawed, I feel like he is just doing what he thinks he needs to do to for him and his family to survive. Didn’t he rob the money train to send his two autistic kids to an expensive school? I think that’s why Corinne can’t find the strength to completely move on. She feels like underneath it all he’s basically a good man who would do anything for his family.
Besides, there is no true justice in Farmington. I think that’s the point. Innocent people sometimes die, the villain sometimes gets away, everyone is just doing the best they can to survive.
