| | another movie review
not that anyone's keeping count...
With the ABUNDANCE of time on my hands.......i decided to catch up on my movie-watching.
i finally watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which in my opinion kicked ass.
the only thing that sucked was how short it was, and how the director had to squeeze the whole chunk of a book into 2 and 1/2 hours.
i also managed to catch Rush Hour 3.
still Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan
JACKIE CHAN and CHRIS TUCKER return as Inpector Lee and Detective Carter, who team up this time to solve the mystery of the elusive Shy Shen. The movie is filmed on location at Paris, where most of the action takes place.
one of many taxi-scenes
There is the usual loud-mouth, 4words/second blaring from Tucker, and usual struggling stumble with words from Lee. However, the same cliched cop-buddies comedy stil works for them.
Although lacking the impressive chemistry and magic from the previous 2 movies, Rush Hour 3 still brings some good laughs and standard action-movie fight scenes. The shots of Paris also satisfy, and overall resulted in a pleasant movie.
So it may not be a movie that blows your mind, bowls you over, keep you on the edge of your seat, or have an invented elvish language;
it may not make you howl in tears, tug at your heartstrings, slap a storyline twist in your face, have enchanted spells, or kill of the main character's Godfather;
it may not have award-winning music, green midget alien sensei-masters who talk backwards, or have swords made of light;
but Rush Hour 3 is definitely a PERFECT Forget-your-day and just-watch-a-nice-show-and-laugh-at-the-stupid-stuff-happening-to-them movie.
We need that sometimes, don't we?
does anyone still read my blog? hmm....
