Transporter 2 is the one where he's trying to save the little kid. it's actually my favorite.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That is unparalleled filmmaking, and Statham is a master thespian.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I finally scored a copy of Funeral Parade of Roses a loose adaptation of Oedipus Rex among the late sixties Japanese gay underground (mostly transgender). It's gorgeous, playful, influenced by pop art and Godard. It's a huge acknowledged influence by Kubrick on Clockwork Orange. A genuine masterpiece that's largely gone unseen and unknown. There's an excellent review here, with many shots from the film.
More fantastic images from it here.

I finally saw Black Swan today. I had to wait until it got to the $4 matinee theater.
there was not a single character that was not creepy and or sinister in the film. Yikes!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I finally saw Black Swan today. I had to wait until it got to the $4 matinee theater.
I finally saw Top Gun today. I had to wait until Netflix Instant decided to stop streaming it tomorrow.
So many jokes in Hot Shots! make a lot more sense now. I had no idea Adrian Pasdar, Tim Robbins, and Meg Ryan were in it! Also, is Michael Ironside in EVERYTHING?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I get to see the new Jane Eyre tomorrow!
I saw previews for this, and I'm intrigued, but I have never liked a movie version of Jane Eyre, so I am wary of seeing it at the same time.
