So, seeing as how I'm sick, I took it pretty easy yesterday. Carrie went over and hung out with Linnea, Lena, & Eva at their place in the morning. In the afternoon I really felt like watching a movie. I was in the mood for some fun, silly action flick. I considered The Fifth Element and both Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights. I considered Bruce Campbell vs Army of Darkness. I thought about Ronin as well as Big Trouble in Little China.
But none of those action flicks really seemed like they would scratch my particular itch. What I really wanted to watch was The Rundown. That is probably my favorite fun action flick in the last five years. Problem is, I haven't seen it in a year (not since I got out of the hospital). I have the DVD case, but the disc itself has been nowhere to be found.
I finally realized that no fun action flick would really satisfy me, so I decided to switch genres to fun, quirky crime flick. I noticed Out of Sight in the rows of DVDs, and I must admit I'd forgotten that I'd gotten it. So I pulled it out and popped the case open.
And there, sitting on top of the Out of Sight DVD was the DVD of The Rundown.
Ahhh... that's so much better. That's such a great, fun action flick with no pretensions. I fell asleep just before the third act climax, but then I watched the whole thing when I woke up, while Carrie made banana bread and then baked pasta for din-dins. Yum-mee.
In the evening I watched Good Eats, an episode or so of Ghost Hunters, and then a Mythbusters where they made a rocket out of laughing gas and a salami. I s--t you not.
