Oh yes, we're back to the movies all right.
The Bank Job was probably good to see right after Cinequest. Scott and I were trying to find something to watch and there wasn't really anything good in theaters unless you're between the ages of 2 to 12. Which we're not.

On the other hand, I'm up for any film that has Jason Statham in it. We debated this issue for awhile... Scott isn't impressed with Jason's recent films ("War": we're looking at you) but really? If Jason is in it, I'm happy just watching him. So we went.

I liked it a whole lot and so did Scott. There are absolutely no car chases, no explosions, and not really even any guns until the very end - but no shoot em up. It was more of a thinking person's heist, and it was really interesting watching the story, which is based on true events. As the movie played out I realized I knew many of the details, but I'm not sure where from, perhaps Rolling Stone had a story about it once long ago. At any rate, I was entertained and you all should go see it.

That evening Scott had the SciFi channel on and guess who was in the cheesy movie of the night? Jason Statham! I don't know what it was, from his IMDb page I would guess either "Red Faction II" or "Ghosts of Mars". It was a crappy movie and at one point Jason is trying to convince his costar to sleep with him, she said not even if he was the last man on earth. I started giggling hysterically, because the first thing in my mind, and the first thing that almost came out of my mouth was, "I would and I'd do it right NOW!" But um, not appropriate at the boyfriend's house, haha.

So anyway, go see it, just don't expect action/adventure. It's about a bank heist, and there are some pretty good characters in it - and lots of talk of "villains", which I thought was both hysterical and charming.
