Blue, is everywhere, so of course, there's some in most any movie. This past Saturday, Johnny and I went to see the newly released film
Knight and Day, an action-comedy. We give it a thumbs up, with a caution that you MUST be willing to suspend your disbelief in order to enjoy it. I mean, no one could live through all THAT!
However, today is all about
Blue, so please notice that both Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are dressed in
Denim Blue with touches of white, for these scenes on the motorcycle. These first two shots were taken during the running of the bulls in Cadiz, Spain.
Johnny likes action films much more than I do. I liked it, but I thought of it as a comic book come-to-life. That helped me to enjoy it more.
Do you enjoy going to an action-comedy film?Happy Blue Monday

my friends are raving about it. but we havent seen it yet, thanks for the review Sally!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good movie, happy Blue Monday! Mary :O)
ReplyDeleteMy husband will surely love to see this movie. But we have to wait until it is released on DVD copy on a nearby video-rental store :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!
Mine is here. Blessings!
Yeah! I like the way you put it - suspend your belief - but, it's fun to watch sometimes!
ReplyDeleteKathy
Can't wait to see it, that would have a lot of action... Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteHappy BLUE Monday Sally,,,soooo good you and Johnny went out for fun,,,Hugs Dena
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen it yet but heard it was great...
ReplyDeleteHappiest Blues.

Occasionally, we all have to have our on spacial time. Looks like you two had a great time at the movies. I have not been in ages. I just could not find one I really liked. In fact, I rarely watch TV. Never much goods news. I spend too much time on the computer, read, work in my yard.
ReplyDeletehaven't been to a movie for a long time now.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue monday Sally!
LOVE action comedy!!! Happy Blue MOnday... ENJOY your week!
ReplyDeleteUh uh, I have seen this in trailer when we watched the Karate Kid and I am sure I would be watching it.. Thanks for this, by the way this is my first time to join the Meme and here's my entry http://www.mjoannafaith.com/2010/06/blue-monday-1-paradise-beach-resort.html thanks
ReplyDeleteBlue denim! Will it ver go out of fashion?
ReplyDeleteI will definitely watch this movie.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!
Happy Monday to all.
ReplyDeleteYes, blue denim, just right for Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday... God Bless

Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence! I just went to see it a few hours ago. I really like it but my 20 year old daughter thought it was "cheesy". It was a nice escape. I chose this movie on a whim, had not clue if it was bad or good and had not read one review. There are numerous car chases, a bit of romance, some comedy, exotic scenery, good and bad guys, intrigue, etc...Its a good summer movie, but best of all I went to see it with my daughter!
Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteI love action films so this one is on my list :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lot of fun Sally!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review, I may have to check it out!
Cindy
Blue denim has always been one of my favorites to wear. Looks like a neat movie with lots of action. Happy Blue Monday and thanks for hosting this fun meme.
ReplyDeleteWow I just watched it last weekend with my kids.
ReplyDeleteIt was really cool and enjoyable movie.
Happy Monday Sally. Enjoy the lovely week.
" Regina "
Great pics, Sally! I have seen preview and I am waiting for it to be available on Netflix....Christine
ReplyDeleteI think this would be more of a movie for Mr. Hip and not so much for me.
ReplyDeleteThere sure has been a lot of hype about this movie on the talk shows. Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteAction is good but give this gal a romance old world style. But with a husband and son, action is what we watch most.
ReplyDeleteGonna try and get back in the saddle and visit everyone on the list...I hope, I hope...
Blue Monday is a great start to the week, Thanks ;-)
Thanks for the review. We'll have to put this one on our list.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, dear Sally.
Haven't seen this one yet. Have a great day. Debbie
ReplyDeleteHi Sally
ReplyDeleteit looks like a good one...sitting in the cool air conditioned theater on a hot sultry evening...works for me!!!
~victoria~
Woops, I didn't mean to post twice. ISorry....
ReplyDeleteAnd it was made up here in MA. I have a hard time watching movies anymore. They seem too violent, too sexual, too mean. I've been sticking to the kids movies, even though someone seems to die in Disney movies, too!
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Blue Monday!
I've seen the two of them on talk shows promoting the movie. Happy Blue Monday ;-)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
I don't really like comic action films. In fact, it seems that TV series episodes, that have serious stories, are often presented as comics. Just not my "cup of tea"!
ReplyDeleteHappy BLUE MONDAY!
Coralie
I, like you, go with my husband to appease him. I do like Cameron Diaz--Tom Cruise, not so much. Happy Blue Monday and thanks for letting me come to the party!
ReplyDeleteGood morning my friend, I have missed visiting your blog this past week. When you see my link, the second one is correct. When I went to hit delete for the last link Bil asked me a question and I hit enter instead. So it is all his fault. Don't you just love to blame someone else for your own mistakes. HA!
ReplyDeleteI want to see this movie very much. We ended up seeing Toy Story Three instead. It was a very cute movie. The grands, as old as they are, wanted to see it and the majority won of course!
I am still a Tom Cruise fan in spite of his 'sometimes' bad press. I do like action films if it isn't blood and guts.
I hope all is well with you Sally.
Hus, Jeanne
PS. Can you talk on Weds? smile.
Oh FUN!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking forward to this moving - I DO like action films. Big time. And though not a huge Tom Cruise fan this one looks like a lot of fun and I'm perfectly happy to suspend the need for reality ;-)
And they go to Spain! What could be better?
Nice choice.
ReplyDeleteThis movie looks like a lot of fun! I am curious to see the energy between Diaz and Cruise. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Tom Cruise fan, but it does look like a good movie, so we will be watching it soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
Thanks for the review, SallY!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
I love action comedies :) Happy Blue Monday Sally
ReplyDeleteHey Sally - First time linking up to Blue Monday! I do like comedy-action films and wondered if this one was worth seeing? Going to check out more blues! Thanks for hosting and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWe usually enjoy these types of action movies. But, I know what you mean.....there is NO WAY someone could really survive the things they portray.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a GREAT Monday.♥
It seems it is a good movie, I also love watching action rather than love story.
ReplyDeleteThis movie sounds entertaining. I understand what you mean by suspending your disbelief. I found I had to do that to watch the TV series,24, or I continued to think,"that couldn't happen"!
ReplyDeleteKathy b
hello,
ReplyDeleteSally,
I linked in...
Thank you for the blue fun!
Happy Blue Monday!
I wondered about this one....did not get too good reviews online, but then you really can not judge a movie by that! I may put this one on the list to see! Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, i really like action comedies - maybe i see this one
ReplyDeleteHappy blue monday ;)
Thanks for the review Sally, I tend to be a fan of romantic comedies!
ReplyDeleteI do like action films, but I'm not a big Tom Cruise fan. But the ads I've seen for this one do make it look like fun. And that's a very nice red, white and blue color scheme they've got going there.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday! from Joy @ Joysweb
Happy Blue Monday. I really want to see this movie. Not many these days that I am interested in. Thanks for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteCool action photos!
ReplyDeleteSorryn I don't know the picture. I have to wsee of it here.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day Sally
Good Day Sally!
ReplyDeleteDD and I are going tomorrow to see this!
Happy Blue Monday! ...Karen
Excellent! Thank you for the review, Sally - I was wondering if this movie is as good as it looks like it is. Happy Blue Monday~
ReplyDeleteThanks for the movie review. My hubby and Iwill probably like it. I'm joining you for my first Blue Monday. This is a great party for me since I like blue so much. Thanks for the party and for being such a fun hostess!!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
Not going to run right out and see it. I like Cameron a lot. She does a good job in everything she does.
ReplyDeleteTom, on the other hand, doesn't do anything for me. There is something not genuine about him. Not at all like John Travolta.
hubby and I can't wait to see this movie...thanks for sharing the movie review Sally....have a good one!
ReplyDeleteI love action-comedy films. I have seen the trailer of this movie.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday.
My <a href="http://www.thisismyblog.info/>Blue Monday</a>.
i can't wait to see the movie with my husband as well... thanks for sharing your review...
ReplyDelete-rache
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it and probably won't until it's on TV in the edited version.
I like a romantic comedy and true stories more, but my hubby loves action! I will watch it with him though because I enjoy his company.
Blessings,
Sandi
Hello, Most Blue Smiling One! Oh, this movie's horn has certainly been tooted the last few weeks. I've seen Tom and Cameron tiny little faces all over the place! :) They are cute though.
ReplyDeleteNow, I didn't play in that party you mentioned, but I know I went to see everybody's dish spot! I've been dealing with where to put my dishes for sometime now. This little space is not enough, but at least it freed up some of my awful messy little dish places! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Happy Blue Monday Sally!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday Miss Sally
ReplyDeleteWow, they're so sweet perfect partner in this upcoming movie.
ReplyDeleteMapeh Homepage
Grampy and I alternate on our film choices. This one looks perfect for him - it may even make up for the evening I chose "Julie and Julia". (now there was a Good Movie! )
ReplyDeleteI want to see this but, I think I will probalby agree that it will be kind of comic book feel. which is okay for me. LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Sally
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like we'll have to rent that one when it comes out in the video stores. Happy Blue Monday.
I like a good comedy and I like a real good action movie...combining the two cannot become too comedy of errors for me. Now I'm very curious to see the movie and see if I too would have to put myself in the frame of mind you were in.
Hope you had a good weekend.

Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteIt's 9:30pm Seattle pacific time, and I do not see the linky to sign up. Am I missing something? I do have a post with blue in it at
http://www.artsquadgraphics.com/blog/2010/06/27/patio-flowers/
I read an interview with Cameron Diaz and it sure looks like a fun movie.
Happy Blue Monday, Sally. Even though it's Tuesday. I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteLove your Blog!!! gloria
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to stop by and say I truly appreciate you! You're an inspiration - not only do you provide a great blog party, but you also visit everyone! That's extraordinary!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very blessed day,
Kathy
Hi sally, I'm jumping in a second time to let you know the coleslaw really is wonderful. I do hope you'll try it. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteI'm slow in getting around to comment after taking off a couple of weeks from blogging. Hope you are well and enjoying the summer. Have a joyous 4th. Sally
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, I don't like action packed movies but I will most likely see this one. when you have sons, and grandsons it cannot be avoided LOL I just saw Iron Man 2 over the weekend with Ryan. I hope you are enjoying summer. For us nothern gals it's half over
ReplyDeletealready.
Hello Sally!! I wanted to see that movie last weekend, but decided not to as it didn't get a very good rating in the KC Star....now, the Star also gave Braveheart a Two Star rating a few years ago, so why do I give that paper any credit? I thought Tom looked better in this movie (from the trailers I'd seen) than any of his other recent ones....and now that you gave it the OK, I will be certain to watch it!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling OK...and I wish you a great Independence Day!! dana
Be a sweetie and have a happy 4th,Most Smiling One!
ReplyDeleteShelia ;)
Sally, I love the actors in this movie, but I do have a problem with movies that are so impossible to believe that they are silly. I've never even liked James Bond movies! Thanks for the review. I think I'll wait until I can rent it. laurie
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sally, we did go to see this movie yesterday. We loved the action and the actors.
ReplyDeleteMy brother went home yesterday morning. we had a wonderful visit and a big potluck supper with all but one sister attending. I love potluck. It is easy and so good.
I loved talking to you this past Wednesday. I was ready for my brother and his wife when they arrived. The cabin was cleaned and I even had time for a nap. Thank you for calling me.
Have a wonderful fourth of July today my friend.
Love ya, Jeanne
Hi Sally, Just stopping by to say HELLO and wish you and your family a very Happy 4th of July...
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that movie yet... I do like Tom Cruise though...
Hugs,
Betsy

ReplyDeleteYes, I've watched a bit of titbits about Cameron Diaz starring with Tom Cruise. Am not much of a moviegoer and waiting it to be shown in my lounge room screen would suit me fine.
ReplyDeleteI'll go for the blue denim.
Please help me link my First Blue Monday entry.
Thanks a bunch Sally.
I saw this with my daughter and loved it. We told everyone it was like a mission impossible spoof!!!
