I saw two good movies over Thanksgiving: Transporter II & Happy Feet. Transporter II was really fun & just a great action movie, pure & simple. The lingerie-clad femme fatale assassin (Kate Nauta) was a major bonus - her Uzis were sexy too. & Jason Statham kicking ass in a tuxedo is a delicious sight. He's so serious & efficient, like a handsome white Jet Li. There are certainly some incongruities, like his Audi's pristine condition no matter what he puts it through, but this is action eye candy & those are niggling details.
Happy Feet was so good! Live penguins, of course, are almost unbearably cute, & CGI penguins are even more so. (None of them are dirty or scarred or anything.) The way they arranged the songs made me want to sing along, & the story was heart-wrenching. I hear some people think it's about how gays are marginalized, or a veiled political commentary, but I think it's more general. It's about young people who think of a new way to do things, & old people who want to stay with the tried-&-true rituals. But above all it's an incredibly fun movie, although it will probably make you cry, & is definitely not just for kids.

Hello...just came across your blog...nice review of the movies...:)
Thanks for stopping by!
what is the renaissance you have brought about?
People often call me a diva & a renaissance woman so I put the two together. I would love to usher in a new renaissance of scientific & sexual freedom but I don't think all of the US is ready for my ideas. :)
