Dogtown and Z-Boys, Bulletproof Monk, & The Perfect Score

Dogtown and Z-Boys was pretty impressive, although it suffers from being too in love with camera and editing tricks (why did we need Sean Penn coughing?). But it tells a great story. And it tells it well. The dropping of cursing for the PG-13 was somewhat distracting, especially when one guy said "The word that can only be mentioned once and only in a non-sexual manner" three times in around 10 seconds. But the soundtrack was pretty darn good.

Bulletproof Monk was actually a lot more fun than I was expecting. Still a terrible movie that had no idea how to film a fight scene so that people could figure out what's going on, but Nazis are great villains. Not as sure about James King needing a bad girl to fight, as it just seems to suggest that they didn't want to have a man beating on her. It's not like they were going to be as misogynistic as T3 was, but there always seems to be that one bad girl for the good girl to fight. At least Chow Yun-Fat has work.

The Perfect Score was worth it for two reasons. Well, it was somewhat worth watching for two reasons: Scarlett Johansson and Leonardo Nam. And mainly Nam, who completely carried the movie. Scarlett was there for the eye candy. Leonardo was great. Hilarious, dirty, and almost worth watching the rest of this crappy movie for. Unfortunately, it's almost, because it's all about how the six of them "learn" and "grow". Which is dumb. Plus, the soundtrack sucked. And the two white guys were bland, and Darius Miles can't act any better than Ray Allen. Or Penny Hardaway.
