movies

Hey. Last week I hit up the Chinese Mall and picked up a few DVDs. Among the movies I bought was Vacancy starring Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale. Now, even though Kate Beckinsale is British, she's easily one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life. I dunno, it may be just me, but to my eyes most British women look like Posh Spice, which is to say completely and horribly bug-like/alien. However, Ms. Beckinsale is the exception that proves the rule, I guess.

Behold the result of the most unlikely British genetic coding ever in the history of the world:


My Gawd, man, that is hot!! If, for whatever reason, me and Kate Beckinsale were the last human beings on earth and the survival of the human race depended on us, there would be no way our species would survive. There is no way I would be able to come within 10 ft of Kate's snapper without uncontrollably sending the seeds of mankind everywhere but where they're designed to be deposited... the chin of a young lass.

Anyway, the movie. As it turned out Vacancy surpassed all of my expectations. I had anticipated the movie being pretty good but it had delivered even more suspense and scared-shitless action than even I imagined.

The movie in a lot of ways reminded me of PhoneBooth, another movie I love and think is under appreciated, in that so much of the story takes place in once setting. There is also a great deal of suspense in each story as a result of the villains largely going unseen, but not unheard from, until either the middle or near the end of the movie. Excellent, excellent stuff. I highly recommend both if you haven't seen either.
