Yesterday, I saw War of the Worlds. It was a well-crafted, ordinary disaster movie. While Tom Cruise’s recent hijinks added a certain meta-cinematic je ne sais quoi, and Dakota Fanning is a frighteningly good young actress, it’s a pretty average summer blockbuster.
With the launch of a summer blockbuster comes the launch of new movie trailers. Yesterday (courtesy of Bree), I watched the trailer for Peter Jackson’s update of King Kong. Not surprisingly, it had a very Lord of the Rings feel to it. And I’m not sure that Adrien Brody is really cracked up to be an action hero.
I also saw the trailer for The Transporter 2. I have a soft spot for the original movie — it was so energetic and had no delusions of grandeur. Plus, Jason Straitham Statham has that Jedi cool.

I have a soft spot too. And his name is Jason Statham. He is the man for which I always wear good underwear because, as improbable as it is, I want to be ready if we ever get stuck in an elevator together.
This is great timing. I watched my Transporter DVD just the other night because there was nothing on TV. Looking forward to another one!
he was boss in “Lock, Stock” as well. Love the oil slick scene, too funny.
Jason Statham is hot. =)
