The Grey
I was really excited to see this one. Turns out it is kind of depressing. It was good, but kind of a downer. Not that plane crash movies should be fun. It was heavier than I would have expected coming from Joe Carnahan. I actually really like Smokin' Aces, which is a ridiculous movie, but totally fun. The Grey is not that. I am a big fan of both James Badge Dale and Joe Anderson, and both of their characters were really showy, which was fun. It was good, but not what I was expecting.

Contraband
I watched Contraband the same night. I like Mark Wahlberg, Ben Foster and Kate Beckinsale, and it looked like it could be okay. Turns out I liked it way better than The Grey. Maybe because it was what I was more in the mood for. It was fun, and I actually found the ending to be refreshing. I loved that there wasn't a chase around the work site with guns or whatever. It was a rare movie where it actually got better as it went along. Yeah, total fluff, but a pleasant surprise. I am really glad I watched The Grey first. =)
