Let’s see. I went home Thursday right after my Boyz II Men post. I got home late, so didn’t go to a movie like I had originally planned. I got to see a movie on Friday night though. The Rundown was the most action packed movie ever. The Rock was astounding in his performance as an action packed smackdown layer who seemed to be a wrestler in a previous life. I didn’t care though, because from the beginning of the movie, he hilariously kicked the crap about of everybody. Even when he got the crap kicked out of him it was funny, because you knew that he was just going to come back and kick the crap out of them in the end. Hahaha. And Sean William Scott was pretty decent too. He wasn’t as stupid as he was in American Wedding, and he balanced The Rock fairly nicely. Rosario Dawson even had her moments too. As for Christopher Walken, he should have been more scary. But, let me tell you. I can’t wait to see it again when it comes out on DVD or something. The Rock is awesome. If you smelllllllllllllllllllllllalalalala what The Rock… and TerenTenTen, are cooking.
On Saturday I went to see Once Upon A Time In Mexico. It was no Desperado… it was just alright. It really didn’t feel like the sequel to Desperado; El Mariachi wasn’t even the main character. There’s nothing wrong with Johnny Depp being the main character, it just wasn’t what I was expecting. It still had some of the great action we saw in its prequel, but Antonio wasn’t nearly as cool in this movie. He wasn’t dark, he wasn’t mysterious, everyone knew where he was all the time, and they were able to get the upper hand most of those times. Besides those main problems, how could it be anywhere near Desperado with Salma Hayek having such a small role as she did. Anyway, it was still a good movie. Just not Desperado caliber. When the 3 movie box set comes out with El Mariachi, Desperado, and Once Upon A Time In Mexico, I’ll be sure to buy it. At least I knocked two movies off my list this weekend. Sorry School of Rock. Looks like you have to wait til Divx… I mean DVD. Yeah, DVD.
