I probably won't review it on the next update, but the one after that. I agree that with that pedigree, nothing should go wrong, but I've seen many a film with great potential fall disappointingly flat (One Man's Justice with Brian Bosworth, MC Hammer, and a Bruce Payne with a too sweet Ape Drape is just the latest unfortunate example for me). I am looking forward to it, though.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-27766045191164424802008-08-27T18:55:00.000-04:002008-08-27T18:55:00.000-04:00Good post, and I agree with you on a couple of poi...Good post, and I agree with you on a couple of points. I think you hit the nail on the head in regards to Robert Patrick. Playing it straight works way better for him. That was my gripe about his performance in The Marine also. Ridiculous movie, but had some potential and felt kind of 80's Commando-ish era throwback sensibilities to it in regards to it's violence. But they forgot: The Bad Guy has to play it stright for it to work. And Patrick spends the whole movie tongue in cheek (including a throwaway Terminator reference). If he had been straight up, the movie would have played way better. <BR/>I agree also on Pineapple Express. I thought it worked in Tropic Thunder because I knew what I was getting into there but Express's ending fell flat for me.<BR/>Great update this week. My copy of Psycho Kickboxer landed today, so I will have to let you know how that fared. I have high hopes for it. It does feature FIVE TIME World Kickboxing Champion Curtis Bush, after all. WIth that kind of pedigree, what could go wrong?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
