So its a couple of days late and I posted Shawshank last week, so now I've got to come up with something to top it or even on par, right?
Nope.
Not even going to try.
This is a pure Charlie's favorite. I won't vouch for any kind of quality. No Oscar caliber performances here.
What do you get when you combine Rammstein, hot chics, fast cars and a bald guy?
No, its not my blog...
Its Vin Diesel in "XXX".
"XXX" is just gratuitous entertainment. Things go fast, things blow up, and there's cool music from Queens of the Stone Age, Orbital, and Drowning Pool. Did I mention things blowing up? Its also got fantastic lines like, "I like anything fast enough to do something stupid in."
Truly an award winning performance from Vin Diesel--he actually got nominated for Best Male Performance at the MTV Movie Awards.
At 5.5 stars, its got one of the lowest movie ratings I've seen on IMDB.... but to be honest, how could you dislike this movie if you went to go see it? You knew it had Vin Diesel in it. What did you expect? Where there not enough things exploding? Should the music have been louder?
This ain't no Shawshank, folks. Its the guy who did Riddick.
