A Guy and a Girl: FROM PARIS WITH LOVE

A Note...

... to our loyal readers.

Guy is in Sweden, currently, and Girl is in Canada. No, we did not split up, as one of you has commented, but we do come from different sides of the world and this tends to happen when you are stupid enough to get involved in a long distance relationship.

So! To those of you who are expecting this website to be kept up to date on a regular basis (even after the fact that this has never happened so far), you will be disappointed.

But! We will try to watch the same movies, and we will try to write reviews about them at some point, then try to post those reviews on a semi-timely basis... maybe.

Some of you may call this a stilted promise, but we just call it reality. Unlike Lindsay Lohan, we have our feet planted firmly in it.

FROM PARIS WITH LOVE

Guy’s Review...

I like the fact that Luc Besson can just show up with an idea or a just with some sort of outline and the movie companies will make it into a movie. On this he has a “story by” credit. This means that he probably just floated an idea past someone. This movie is directed by the same guy that did “Taken”. I like that movie because it’s so simple. Simple in the way that “Die Hard” was. A guy that can take care of shit.

In this movie they casted Travolta to be that guy. The difference here though is that he is way to over the top. He can take on an army by himself. He’s smart, strong and vey bald. I just didn’t like his character at all.

When it comes to the movie it’s pretty basic action stuff. A pencil pusher gets a partner that is fucking crazy and they make the most unmatched couple ever. Well, they find some common ground and start helping each other to take down the baddies. The add some twists and voila there you have an action movie.

Guy’s Rating: Entertaining and full of explosive action. I guess that’s all you need from a movie like this. Don’t expect more!
