Life's Like Red

Movie #13: Red

Red is a movie that I might not have seen except that a friend and I randomly decided to go see it because her only other choice was a movie that looked depressing and I wanted to see something fun. And, I really enjoyed it - it's funny, full of action, and a fun adventure/hit/comedy movie with a fun romance added in.

The gist: A former black ops agent (Bruce Willis) gets a hit put out on him and has to reassemble his old team and protect the girl he loves.

How's my life like this movie?  Licorice and I play our own game of spy versus spy.

Licorice sleeps on the couch, but she is always on the alert, like any good spy.

Her task - to keep safe the famed golden lobster. Hey, it may not look gold, but that's how she keeps it safe.  She's one smart puppy!

I decide to sneak in for the steal...

Licorice, suddenly weary, moves positions, onto the ottoman slightly closer to the golden lobster. Just in case...

We both lunge for it! A struggle ensues!!!!

Licorice comes away victorious! The golden lobster is hers for another day! 

At least, this is the way we look at things at our house.

* Check out Red on IMDB.

* I saw another "retired" action stars type movie with Sylvester Stalone a few months ago that was totally different in feel, but that for some reason I associate with Red called - The Expendables:
