The Transporter

Every Which Way But Loose, your day will come. And it will be a glorious day.

As for you, The Transporter, I am sorry that I fell asleep. I was really tired. For what it's worth, I liked you all right. You were pretty much an excuse for an action movie, and that is fine. The acting wasn't great, but the action was, and that's really what counts.

I don't know what the ruckus about Jason Statham is, but I guess I am not attracted to him and that is a big part of it. I liked his accent. He is pretty badass. I also liked his inspector friend.

erin statham

i know the movie was supposed to be every which way but loose. unfortunately, it appears that there are no suburbs in oregon that carry that movie, which was a serious blow to yours truly. we chose the transporter instead, which proved to be a wise choice.
jason statham is unfailingly badass, hot, and manly. and hot.
but seriously, this movie was very enjoyable for me. there was the right mix of actual plot, really bad bad guys, a fairly obnoxious screamy female character, and pretty good explosions.
i am really looking forward to watching the sequel next week.
related sidenote: transporter 3 is in post-production!
semi-related sidenote: don't forget to vote for our next amt's!
very loosely related sidenote: how do we feel about death race as a field trip sometime soon?
