Just a quickie: Transporter 2

So I walk into the room for the evening's viewing preasure and Mr. No Bouncing on the Couch has in Transporter 2 for a minute.

Excellent!

It was right when he was in the garage with a whole gangload of guys after him and he's there in his suit taking stock of the situation and I think...I love Jason Statham.

No, really. I LOVE JASON STATHAM. He is the pissed-off English guy we've grown to love ever since Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Transporter, Transporter 2, Crank - it's a well-developed formula and why would you ever mess with it?

'CAUSE he's done a picture with Jet Li (I'll never do another fight movie again..after this one) where HE DOES AN AMERICAN ACCENT. WHISKY TANGO FOXTROT, why you messin' wid my formula? It works and it's what I want!!! (Haven't seen it yet, so I don't know if I can forgive him, but it gets even better after this - hang on.) I was just LIVID watching those trailers and I just don't kow if I can recover.

So I watch the fight in the garage which is SO well choreographed, and then how he uses the hose to wrap every-body up at the end - love that. And I can calm down for a minute.

Then I remember, this year he did In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, and I get even more incensed because (I haven't seen it) all I can imagine is him in tights. NOT my pissed off Englishman.

And now they're planning Crank 2 - um....how did he not die in that first one, falling from the helicopter and having a chest full of a lethal cocktail? Ooookay Hollywood...all you're seeing is $$$$$ now. He's in A MILLION PIECES FROM THE FALL, or did he miraculously hit a mattress outlet store that kept it's surplus conveniently stored outside?

Frikkin morons.

Don't mess with my Formula. War comes out on DVD soon. Let you know if he's forgiven. Ooooh, I'm just too worked up now!!!
