thanks to Netflix, have seen a few recently. all 3 were better than I expected.
First: Mr and Mrs Smith. 7/10. Not too bad.
then it was Fantastic Four. I don't get why this one is getting so blasted so badly. it was decent. not great, but decent. 7/10.
and, finally, The Island. I knew nothing about it going in except that it was a disappointment. And when the opening credits rolled and I saw the words "Michael Bay" I figured I was in for a stinker. But heck if the thing wasn't really good. Story was good, acting was good, effects were good, Johannson was SMOKING hot. Bay is a hack, but his style actually worked well here. A pleasant surprise: 8/10
