I have a very cool friend who gifts me with those DVDs at Christmas. They sure are fun to watch. 🙂

She rocks.

Now there was an “action movie” that was exciting, unpredictable, hilarious, and witty, plus it had a terrific cast. I enjoyed it more than any movie I’ve seen this summer, but then I can watch Melissa McCarthy in just about anything. She’s fantastic.

The stunters did amazing things. And the plots, which had to be kept simple so people who missed a chapter or two could still follow the story, seemed “deeper” than today’s action movies.

Public schools should require all attendees to see it. The explanation of why addictions are needed to deny all feelings is clearly shown. Only the bravery to feel allows release from the main plague of young people.

I passed on Mission Impossible, because of Tom Cruise. I never got why he was a star. Now with your thoughts, I wish I would have seen the movie. I love kick butt girls. Too many times there aren’t any in a movie…it’s the guys that carry it. In fact in the new Fantastic 4, Sue Storm spends all the time reading, listening to music and basically blending into the background. I was so disappointed. Maybe someday the heads of movie companies will learn that we love our kick butt women too! Wouldn’t Nancy Gideon’s Cee Cee make a wonderful movie lead??

As long as they’re not gory, I’m good with bad guys flipping over cliffs and bursting into flames on the way down (before their cars actually hit anything). Action movies are just about my favorite. They’re even better when they’re smart and well done with strong female characters… but those are rare. 😉
