Word from Big C vol. 24

editors note - For this edition of Word from Big C we get a monster update. 7 movies reviewed as only Big C can. Enjoy, and hold on to your butts.

Babylon A.D.

I liked this movie and if you believe my fellow Jerk-er then that's your call (but you'll regret it). First off Mr. Vin Diesel was great as the bounty hunter Toorop ya that's right they wrote the accent into his name fantastic. Also Mélanie Thierry is a good fit as the innocent Aurora and Michelle Yeoh was fantastic as Sister Rebeka. Good story, good action, sweet cheese from the get-go. Herostew can go have intercourse with himself.

Burn After Reading

Ok at first I actually told Senor Herostew "Is this movie genius or just fucked up?" Looking back this one is fucking genius and makes you think "what would I do in that situation?" Brad Pitt and George Clooney were fan-freaking-tastic in this movie. See this one on the big screen

Chaos

Jason Statham, Wesley Snipes how can you go wrong? I'll tell you how you can go wrong, you cast the aforementioned Statham and Snipes and then don't have a fight scene between the two of them. The plot of this one is a detective and his partner are part of a hostage situation on a bridge that goes wrong and one gets the proverbial axe and is kicked off the force and the other is just suspended and while on his suspension Statham is brought back to active duty at the request of bank heist leader Snipes. If this has not turned you away yet Statham is stuck with a babysitter played by Ryan Phillippe and the story is then told over the next 40 or 50 minutes which is far to long. Don't spend your hard earned cash on this please

Equilibrium

All I have to say is Noodles is right.

National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets

The first is the better of the two if only because the villain is actually a villain in the first one.

Pistol Whipped

This is Squinty Sagal at his suavest, ass-kicking top and I believe his pudgiest. Very good Sagal movie. Give it a look-see

Kill Zone
I was turned on to this one by Herostew, it is of oriental cinema descent and is good stuff but it is also so very jacked up. Must see it.
