Kate got out of several reviews because she got up and left and didn't finish the movies. I won't do that to you. I'll tell you that a movie was so bad I got up and left but at least I'll tell you what I saw before I got up and left.

I got up and left attempting to watch The Good Shepherd. Matt Damon plays an FBI agent who may or may not have been responsible for dropping the ball in Cuba in the early 60s (Bay of Pigs). Damon goes back and forth from the 40s to the present (the early 60s), and we're supposed to be impressed by the brilliant screenwriting where the movie goes back and forth between the 40s and the 60s. Wow. You can go back and forth in time. Therefore, the movie must be good. No? No.

While not a great actor, Damon's definitely not a bad actor either, although he has one face in the entire movie. I wasn't impressed. I could have done that part, except I'd do without kissing that whacked out freak Angelina Jolie. I didn't know they had fake lips back in the 60s. Weird.

You know me. You'd trust me with your life. You just wouldn't trust me with your daughter, but that's okay. I can appreciate that. Just trust me with my judgment here. This was a bad movie. It had no redeeming qualities, and no reason to waste two hours of your life. As your time is valuable, so is mine, and I'm not going to waste another ten minutes writing about this cow manure. Two dead zombies, and only because I'm a nice guy. I expect much better from Robert DeNiro than this tripe. Maybe he should stick to acting, something he's very good at.
