JCVD - Van Damme playing Van Damme the actor, kinda cool concept. The story itself wasn't great but it was watchable. It had some good moments you could sense were based on his real life experiences. 5.9 Matty (?) rating.

I saw that. It is the only Van Damme movie I ever saw. I don't remember the details all that well but I see I rated it 6 out of 10 at imdb so that's not bad.

RJ I liked the scene where he takes an aside and is speaking to the audience about his life as he rises up above the scene below him. I thought it was well done. Could probably find it on youtube if I looked.


Watched:

Last of the Mohicans
The Last Kiss

In process of watching Bug again.

Ya, this one. A single take too.

The Karate Kid (original)..when Sensei tells him to sweep the leg and you just know Daniel Son is doomed, you feel his pain.

Then Miagi uses his hands and its all better.

Amazing, all around.

Ya, this one. A single take too.

Awesome.

I rented Faceoff last week cause I hadn't seen it since it originally came out and I remembered it being good. I remembered incorrectly.

 

[Mudcat]

Yes, that does sound incorrect.

I saw The Kids Are All Right last night. Other than the title being cheesy and off-target, it's pretty good. Not great but it's a nice film. I give it a 7.2 out of 10.

Also this week I saw Scott Pilgrim Versus the World. It was cute I suppose. It tried very hard. Fair to say, I am not the target demographic. The teens who work at the video store seem to like it; they all have it in their top 3 recommendations. I give it a 5.2 out of 10.
