SAVAGES

Passed up our AFS Doc night at the Austin Studios to see a pure brain not required film.  While Benicio Del Toro plays one of the scariest torturers on film and I spent half of the film covering my eyes I found this film entertaining.  A story of marijuana growers in California who make unbelievable weed grow..the seeds come from Afghanistan (thank our military intervention for that one).  Two guys share the same girlfriend and go to extremes to save her from the Mexican cartel who wants the California weed.  Dumb storyline, John Travolta is humorous as a crooked DEA agent, Blake Lively plays a vapid stupid rich pothead but it all worked for me after a week of a major house project.  Sometimes you just need to sit back and be dumb!
