Helen Mirren Video

Based on the cult DC Comics graphic novels by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, RED is an explosive action-comedy starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren. Frank (Bruce Willis), Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen Mirren) used to be the CIA's top agents -- but the secrets they know just made them the Agency's top targets. Now framed for assassination, they must use all of their collective cunning, experience and teamwork to stay one step ahead of their deadly pursuers and stay alive. To stop the operation, the team embarks on an impossible, cross-country mission to break into the top-secret CIA headquarters, where they will uncover one of the biggest conspiracies and cover-ups in government history. RED opens in theaters on October 15, 2010.

1.85 min. | 4.73 user rating		 This is my small tribute to one of the most controversed films ever made, starring Malcolm McDowell as Caligula, Teresa Ann Savoy as Caligula's sister, Drusilla, Helen Mirren as little boots' wife, Caesonia, Peter O'Toole as Tiberius and many more. The song I used is of course, the well known 'Dance of the Knights' by Prokofiev. And yeah, I mixed some pics of the real Caligula, one of the evilest man that existed with pics from the movie. Enjoy, altough it's a short video. Ps: Man, i can't fucking believe the number of views this video gets each day. As Al Bundy once said, 'ST-..RIKE!' :))))
