askye at 11:39pm on 02/06/2007I finished watching the Dolph movies I had out.
Silent Trigger started off strongly -- some weird dream sequence then Dolph lying on a bed in his boxers (yay!) and then there were flashbacks, and NO voiceover! Thank god, because that one voice over was so hideous. Then it flashed forward and got kinda stupid. Dolph's an assasian/sharpshooter with a spotter. Dolph decides not to shoot someone (in flashback) and the people he work with try to kill them. Flash forward and he's breaking into some half finished hotel and so is spotter chick (who is Jane from Coupling) and they are now working together again, for the same people.
There's a psycho guard who tries to rape the spotter chick, but Dolph beats him up but not to death. The spotter chick comes on to Dolph and they have sex and then spotter chick is lying there naked presumably asleep when Dolph just has pants on. Then there's other stupid stuff and they don't kill the target because Dolph hesitates again and then their owners try to kill them, except Dolph kills them and they both walk away.
Today it was The Defender, which was Dolph's directorial debut. This starts slow, but there's Dolph stripped to the waist and tortured and looking really good for 47 or 48 or how ever old he was in this. And then it flashes forward. Jerry Springer is President. Of the United States. Jerry Springer.
Anyway in the defender he works for some woman who I could never figure out what her role in government was but she was having some secret meeting and it turned out that there were decoys and almost everyone dies except Dolph. It comes out that there is a coup of sorts going on between high ranking Generals and Senators who don't want to have peace and President Springer's plan goes through and it's stopped.
This was kinda okay.
Also watched Rollerball. I ended up fast forwarding through some of it. I don't think I was in the right mind set for Rollerball. Also it doesn't really hold up well so I think it's better if I'd seen it sooner. There is commentary but the director, I may try to watch that.
Next up is Boondock Saints! That's tomorrow. What better way to spend Sunday right?
