(no subject)
Had a boring Thursday night, so I rented a movie and bought some beers and decided to offer you all a review, whether you're interested or not (if not, just stop reading, like, duh):
"Bobby Z"
Starring Laurence Fishburne and Paul Walker.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473188
Fishburne's role fits him about as well as one of his namesake fish fits in
lying on an Omaha sidewalk. Walker overall is a rather poor actor, and
his straight-man face and actions pull his role off only with generous
intimations on the part of the viewer. The plot is relatively cliché
and, at points, nonsensical. I'd point out specific moments, but if
you've seen Walker in the Fast and the Furious movies, I have a feeling
you won't pick this one for the plot.
The redeeming features, if there are any, are that there's a fair
amount of eye-candy (no outright nudity, though, if that's what you're
looking for), and you can sit and cheer as a sadistic woman-beater gets
chained up and drug behind an SUV.
