I'll admit it.  No matter how old I get I will always have a warm fuzzy place in my heart for campy action movies.  It's got a beanbag chair in one corner, a coffee table, and a few lava lamps for effect.  I think there's a poster of Hulk Hogan in there somewhere too, right next to the tiki bar.  In my warm fuzzy place classics like True Lies, Last ( Read more... )

I'm still trying to figure out how an increased heart rate translates into bending bullets. Otherwise well said, and in a funny way too. :)

The first part of the movie I sat there thinking "nobody likes me" in that Droopy Dog voice every time the main character opened his disembodied narrative voice. Also trying to figure out how they go from noticing a few inperfections in a cloth and go.., "Hey, if I look close and assign letters to these it makes a name... well, its pretty clear I'd better go kill them." Isn't that sort of a variation of the dog telling you to kill the unbelievers?

Also, isn't it amazing how much a good wax bath can heal?

Elk, you have a certain way with words, or at least a certain way with metaphors. You should seriously start up a movie review blog or something. :-}

I just watched this movie over Christmas at my brother's place, and I agree. The comic book was way better, since it at least justified the assassin's crazy abilities. They were all supervillians with superpowers. Enough said.
