Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
Less outrageous but more consistent than Shoot 'em Up, Crank is the same kind of videogame-influenced exercise in deliberate excess. Hitman Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) has been injected with a drug that will kill him if his heart-rate drops too low. He is the bus from Speed.
The set-up is a perfect excuse for violence, drugs, sex, dangerous driving and anything else one might describe as "pulse-pounding", but laced with enough humour that -- unlike Shoot 'em Up -- it never feels serious. Good times.
