If you’re a fan of Emily Blunt, Bill Nighy, Rupert Grint and Rupert Everett then Wild Target (2010) will delight you. Emily Blunt plays a thief who Bill Nighy, an assassin, is supposed to kill. But Nighy spares Emily and that sets off a chain of hilarious plot twists. Yes, Wild Target is fluff, but it’s fun fluff.
Hope my library carries it.
It’s not great but Nighy is always worth watching, even as a depressed hitman. And Grint gets away from his Ron Weasley persona.
Only in England (I suspect) would a movie have not one, but two actors named “Rupert.”
I’ve seen WILD TARGET at Wal-Mart cheap, Patti.
Yep, good but not great sums WILD TARGET up, Jeff.
I had not one, not two, but three Tyshawns in one of my classes, Deb.
Jackie could compare names with you, George. One year she had (I swear I am not making this up!) Shawana, Mashana and Shakwana, as well as Iesa and Iasia.
(not sure on the spelling of these)
When I worked in a junior high school, we have two girls named “Unique.” I guess it wasn’t such a unique name after all. In the elementary school, we had a student named “Beyonce.” At the time (this was about five years ago), it was hard for me to get my mind around the fact that Beyonce had been a star long enough for there to be school-aged girls with her name.
My favorite student name was Mona Lisa Monaco, Jeff.
In a few years, kids will show up at school with names from the TWILIGHT series…and THE HUNGER GAMES, Deb. I can’t wait until I have a Katniss in one of my classes!
Yes, a flood of Bellas, Jacobs, and Edwards are in our future–as we process through the Emmas, Madisons, Ethans, and Aidens of today.
You notice, though, that in spite of the Potter books, there doesn’t seem to be a flood of boys named Harry.
Not in America, but I believe it is a popular name in England–because of Harry Potter and Prince Harry too.
When Jackie went to the middle school there was a (sorry to be un-PC but…) very slow student named Whitney Houston.
I love Nighy but I remain unconvinced by Blunt (I realise this may make me the lone holdout on the planet in this regards …)
I’m in love with Emily Blunt, Sergio. You should check out her work in GNOMEO AND JULIET! First-rate!
