Spy Game (2001)
Not-so-spry game
Saggy Redford plays a retiring CIA operative/ analyst/ whatever who's last gasp is to help his former underling Brad Pitt to escape from being executed from a Chinese prison. It would have been a good movie IF the movie had concentrated on the covert operations and less on Redford swaggering around Langley with his cel phone, duping his colleagues in overly dramatic board room meetings, and ruminating over the good old times in a dizzying array of flashbacks. If you like staring at Redford for extended periods of time while he ponders his options, then go see it. Otherwise, check out Octopussy again... Roger Moore might have been old and ridiculous as James Bond, but at least he knew how to kick ass.
Nostradamus (2000)
Nostra-dumb
Forgettable pilot that never really explains why Nostradamus is really important to the plot of this movie, but Rob Estes plays a a hunky cop who happens to be Nostradamus for some reason and who battles time-travelling Medieval monks that run around with guns and set people on fire to start the apocalypse. Oh yeah, there's also a sexy FBI agent who happens to be a pyschic and is trying to get Rob to believe everything before it's too late. Too bad they couldn't predict a better plot. Yawn.
