I’ve got to say, I was getting a little tired of hearing about Angelina Jolie adopting another kid. That’s great for them and that kid, but I don’t care. I want to hear about Angelina Jolie kicking ass. I want to see the mom stuff get put aside for a minute and her ass kicker [...]

Philip Guest (@MediaTwin) asked what my “favourite romantic/action movie” was. My pick:
@actionchick: Crank: High Voltage (a.k.a. Crank 2)
@actionchick then solicited your thoughts on the matter. As usual, a wide variety of answers emerged, including some that are not action movies (e.g., Shaun of the Dead – having some action does not make it an action movie), [...]

You know True Lies is going to be awesome when the start of the film is Arnold in a tuxedo being asked to see his invitation, to which Arnold responds “Sure, here’s my invitation,” and blows something up. Take note movie makers, that is how you start a flick!

I’m taking a brief reprieve from my “Chicks Who Don’t Need Flowers” series to review the new action movie Taken. Never has the expression “Don’t talk to strangers” ever been as true as it is in Taken.
