#MovieReview: "Allied"


So, getting the gossip out of the way, if you're married to Brad Pitt, don't send him off to make any movies where his character has a love interest and they get married... All's fair in love and war in Allied.

This World War II period piece stars Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard.

From Google:

"The story of intelligence officer Max Vatan, who in 1942 North Africa encounters French Resistance fighter Marianne Beausejour on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Reunited in London, their relationship is threatened by the extreme pressures of the war."




So there are two things wrong with what could have been a very compelling movie based on a love story and suspenseful intrigue...

They bungled the love story (I sensed zero chemistry between the two leads), and the suspenseful intrigue was similarly bungled.

WATCH IF YOU'RE BORED I guess. This would have been awesome had it been made as an HBO limited series.

QBF Rating: 3.0/5

NSFW Monday!

Good Morning! This is the 21st, and last of my "Body-Painted Football Babes Bonanza" series. Perhaps more importantly however, the semi-finals begin tomorrow in the World Cup! So a hearty congratulations to the great teams who made it: Uruguay versus Netherlands Germany versus Spain They will play each other tomorrow and Wednesday respectively, but all signs point to Germany defeating the Netherlands in the final. Now, back to the babes! We have ladies representing the Italian Republic (the only returning champion I'd wager, to ever come dead last in the weakest group), and the Republic of Korea (South Korea -- who lost to Uruguay in the 2nd round). - QBF Spicy Meatball: Korea's Taekwan-Don't Stop!
