alot of suck

i think i need to review the movies currently on my netflix queue again after tonites selection…the jackie chan movie gorgeous. i could tell you that i chose gorgeous for the jackie chan martial arts ass-kicketh-much-athon, or because tony leung rocks much. but everyone really knows that it was just to stare at hsu chi for an hour and a half. dur dee dur. as cute as she was tho, the movie itself was alot of suck. gosh, big suck. jackie chan can fight, and tony leung plays a pretty funny gay. hsu chi tho…she just pouts alot. like a buttload. every other second she pouts…and then spews out her incoherent dialogue. and then reverts back to pout mode. her acting range is staggering. but cute pouting didnt make up for the 2 hours of dredge i endured. cuteness only got the movie so far before i started fast forwarding past all the shite acting and ridiculously stupid plot, pacing, dialogue, film editing, art direction, sound production, gaffers, best boys, their catering, and especially that runty white dude that jackie chan fights. *sigh* what a waste. she’ll always be cute in my book…but no more movies based solely on the presence of hsu chi.
