Righteous Kill

It's been four weeks since my last movie, it felt like an eternity.  Originally I had hope to go to two movies tonight, but due to theater timetables it didn't work out this time.  I had to make a hard choice; which movie to see?  Of course I plan on seeing the other movie tomorrow, but still which movie you see first is a very important decision, and hopefully I chose well...  I made my pick based on respect.  Respect for two of the greatest actors ever; De Niro and Pacino.  "Righteous Kill" is their third best movie together, which by the way also makes it their worst movie together (do the math).  I'm going to make this review easy on myself; this was a bad movie with two great actors giving alright performances.  It was a bad movie because it insulted my intelligence and didn't really go anywhere interesting.  It had De Niro and Pacino doing De Niro and Pacino stuff, but not De Niro and Pacino at their peak.  "Heat" had De Niro and Pacino together, at their peak not only doing their stuff, but talking about their stuff, which was just wonderful.  "The Godfather Part II" had both doing their stuff, not together mind you, but there on the same screen nevertheless.  "Righteous Kill" had the unintended affect of making me think more about those two films instead of the movie I was sitting through.  Hopefully tomorrow my movie order pays off and I get to finish off with a good movie to write about.
