{February 24, 2010}   From Paris with Love

Two, three, four THUMBS up! eeewww, that would be gross if I had four thumbs, but I’d put them all up for this movie!

This was a great movie, so much fun to see John Travolta in this role. When I saw the preview for the first time, I was wondering if that was him and it is! He is sharp and funny and no-nonsense and a regular, all around good ole’ fashioned bad ass!

I know, we all thought he was a bad-ass in Pulp Fiction, and there is that great reference to his famous line “Royale with Cheese”, but that is the only nod. I think Vincent Vega was a very laid back, yet dangerous hit man, but Charlie Wax [Wax-on/Wax-off] was just a hard hitting, quick firing, quick thinking on his feet operative working for the US government and could visualize his way out of any situation.

The movie was funny and violent all in the same breath, someone said I said the magic words on that one. I love a good action movie and throw in some comedy, how can that be bad? I admit that I spent a few of the scenes covering my eyes, sometimes the sound and view of a fist connecting with a person, kind of grody [yes, I used the word grody, I wanted to see who was paying attention], but it was still good. The dialog was clever, the acting great and come on people, it was John Travolta and Jonathyn Ryhs Meyers, yummy city! come on, I’m still a girl!

And it took place in PARIS people! Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Paris! It’s so cool when you recognize certain bridges, buildings, sigh…

Bottom line, when I saw the preview, I knew it was a movie I would take my dad to see and you guessed it folks, he loved it and so did I! [I wish i could say that I got to take him, but alas, i did not]. I believe this movie will be in the movie theaters for a wee bit, not slated for DVD too soon!
