Kangaroo Jack (2003)
Respect Sense of Humour
I just can't believe how many people out there are poor & helpless in the sense of humour department. Nobody in the movie ever made fun of epileptic people. Nobody. It was just a joke, not even a tasteless one. People in the world keep getting themselves way too seriously and keep misjudging things around them. And that's pretty bad. If you can't stand a joke about epilepsy, and find it pretty offensive, man, I think there's something wrong with your thinking. I am talking about the so called freedom of joke, dude, and I'm afraid most of the world is starting to lose touch with it. Ps: What about jokes about, i.a., single-handed people? Should they rise their fist and voice against those "tasteless" lines just because they have lost one hand? Come on!
In Hell (2003)
Van The Man is Back and he just delivers the goods in a different kind of way
Van The Man is Back and he just delivers the goods in a different kind of way. I watched HELL (aka In Hell, aka The Savage) yesterday, and i feel much more relieved now. Van Damme had just reached his nadir with DERAILED, and I worried about his next movie efforts. This Ringo Lam vehicle is not bad at all, I mean: competent direction, realistic fights, a surprisingly dark, suffocating atmosphere lingering on, pretty decent acting by Van Damme (whose recent both private and artistic misadventures seem to have helped along a lot); yet the movie, just like any other J.-C. movie, seems to be cliché-bound, but who cares about it anyway? I don' like prison-movies at all, but I must admit that this one, far from being perfect, is pretty entertaining, even a little bit too... angst-ridden Mr. Van D, pleaz, give us just a little smile every now and then
