"carla was the prom queen"

yes, she was. but she was effing annoying.

this movie, especially when combined with boxed cake, friends, and not enough seating, is one of my favorite action movies.
i love that it comes with a completely awesomely impossible san francisco car chase (those hills at 70 mph? sean connery is a badass, but come on), a little bit of conspiracy theory, and the actually complex feeling of agreeing with both the good and bad guys.
i know it sounds crazy, but this movie does have some valid substance regardless of its ridiculousness.
additionally, i love anything with john c. mcginley in it.

just looking at imdb, i noticed that this movie was nominated for an oscar. think about that!

sidenote: last night during amt at my house, friends suggested that we do some of our voting for future movies on the blog. we could also do posts or have a section where we note any actor appearances from other action movies. it might be a good way to make connections between movies each week. perhaps a calendar of events as well? let me know what you all think.

i would like to leave this post on a positive note, "Your 'best?' Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen." yes sean connery, yes we do.
