today wasn't entirely exciting. i got a lunch break to catch up with zack about things. sweet luncheons.

i did get the opportunity to see the movie crank. if you don't know, it's the new movie with jason statham. he's pretty much the man. the basic plot is that statham has been poisoned by a hitman, and has only a few hours to live, in which he wants to seek his revenge on those who have plotted against him. aw hell, why not, i'll give my review of the movie.

crank was not as good as i expected it to be. than again, my expectations were higher before i saw the transporter 2, which was... well, aw hell, why not, i'll give my review of the transporter 2.

if you don't already know, the transporter 2 is the sequel to the mediocrally acclaimed movie the transporter. i personally enjoyed the transporter. the sequel, however, was less than par. granted, it did have some good fight scenes in it, where statham just gives everyone in his sights a stompin'. but there were some awful parts as well. at one point, the female hench...woman... blows up an entire helicopter with a gat. and when i say blows up, i mean, literally, makes explode in several different directions. it was some of the worst special effects i've ever seen. also, statham's antics with his vehicle are suspiciously surreal. i can't even pull the shit that he did with hot wheels. not that i play with hot wheels anymore...

so overall, you could say i was disappointed with the transporter 2, especially because a lot of people said that it was better than the first one. i disagree with them.

okay, so back to crank. the plot is fairly simple, as statham is constantly trying to seek revenge on the man who poisoned him, all the while trying to keep his adrenaline running so the poison he was given doesn't kill him. i liked this movie. it wasn't the best film i've ever seen, but it was definitely a decent statham flick. it was much better than the transporter 2. the action never stops, because if statham stops, then, well, he dies. so that is definitely a positive aspect. however, the story itself seemed kind of rushed, as if they pulled it together too quickly to think of something really good. overall, not an entirely bad film.

i like jason statham a lot. he was awesome in snatch, which is my favorite movie. i'm not even gonna give you my review on snatch; that movie was brilliant. if you haven't seen that, then shame. go see it, or your flesh explode.

cheers,
sank

You know... I don't think I've ever heard of any of the movies you just talked about.

But anyway, he'd have to run out of adrenaline sooner or later, and it's either that or energy. Kind of like a dead end.

Me, neither. ^-^;;

I'm not allowed to watch movies anyway and I told you, it's expensive. =[
The last time I went we had to watch whatever the majority wanted. And since it was all girly girls, we ended up with Step Up. Classic modern Dirty Dancing. =/

How much are the tickets over there? 0.o

Action is always exciting
it keeps you watching when you don't feel like paying too much attention to one thing for two hours. lol =P

it seems every time I come to your blog, you have more modules! perhaps I don't come often enough?...

Have a good week/end!

Ah, Robot Chicken. I love that show. Too bad I'm never allowed to watch it... Summer next year is EVER so far away.

The result is the only reason I'm looking forward to braces. I don't really like the pain part.

I think I've seen the commercial for Crank but I've never seen it.

Hope life's been sweet to you!

you would see a movie called "Crank" The fact that Jason Statham has a major role does not negate the fact that you "CRANKed" zach's lever during the entire movie

Thanks for the Comment
Haven't seen Crank yet, but it looked interesting. Didn't see either of the Transporters.

Love Cartel. And I would love to steal that music code...
