I Know I Missed The Weekend, But If You Want To Rent A Fun Movie
Edited on Mon Mar-29-04 11:31 AM by Magic Rat
Go check out 'The Rundown' with The Rock and Sean Williams Scott (the guy from Dude Where's My Car).

This is as shockingly a good movie as School of Rock was, to me.

I saw it thinking it'd be just another cheap action movie - but its actually very well directed by Peter Berg (who's done some nifty stuff if you ever check out his movies) and it has one of the funniest scenes I've viewed in years of watching a movie.

For those who've seen it already, I'm referring to the scene where the Rock and Scott are drugged up and the wild monkeys have encircled the camp.

Plus as a great added bonus - Christopher Walkin is the main bad guy and he's absolutely hysterical in the role.

I bought this movie and I've seen it three times already. I don't normally do this but this is one hell of a suprisingly good action flick.

Don't miss it.

2. trust me, you won't be disappointed
It has some truely original and spectacular fight scenes. And I think the Rock is going to be making movies for a loooong time. This guys is damn good.

3. The Rock
I actually liked The Scorpion King. I was expeting not to like it because I'm not a wrestling fan. He was a little stiff, but I could definitely see the potential. Perhaps some more acting lessons.
