Boys are back in town

I planned yesterday I would go to the movies to see The Inception with not-so-dreamy DiCaprio but since I was feeling a bit low I went today instead. And because the 5 o'clock show was sold out, instead of finding the crime scene inside my head, I went to see the absolute action movie, The Expendables. There is nothing that makes me bounce back up like a proper action movie. And this one had everything I needed: big guns, big biceps and big badasses getting kicked the hell out of them. And lousy jokes.

I guess it's not a surprise but the plot was poor, nothing to make you wow. But I found myself liking Jason Statham for the first time, actually thinking that the man is a hunk indeed, especially when he smiles. And ofcourse I liked Jet Li, there's no fight scene he can't handle. But I was disappointed that Mr. Willis wasn't taking any actual part in the action... And Stallone and Rourke... a pair of old hags if I may say. The only good part with Stallone was the scene with Mr. Mayor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold was walking out from the church and Bruce asked Stallone "what's wrong with him" and Sly replied: "He wants to be a president." I bet there was not a single person in the movie theatre that didn't laugh at that point.

So, I wasn't that impressed of this movie. Hopefully The Inception has a better plot.. although I'm not a huge fan of Leo.. But I guess his movie will be able to twist my crooked mind more than these muscular soldiers from hell. And it gives me something to do while I wait for the new Angelina Jolie movie, Salt, to come out.

If you didn't get it yet.. I absolutely LOVE action movies.
