Face Punch is a movie that we should all watch. Clearly Bella and Jacob loved it; that other guy who was there with them may not have enjoyed it so much, but I only say that because it made him vomit. But seriously, you can't beat the dialog from a great film like Face Punch. "Put that gun away before I shoot you in the head." "Put your gun down before I shoot you in the face." "Both of you put both your guns away before I shoot both your heads off." I mean seriously, you can't write this stuff. It's the best everyone-gets-shot-in-the-end movie since Reservoir Dogs brought us blood and shooting to the nth degree. I have no idea who the actors were in this piece of cinematographic genius, nor do I even know what they look like, but the piece of relief they provided from a brooding, self-loathing piece of teenage angst crap was more than enough to ensure that I remember Face Punch for a long time with a little bit warmth in my heart.
The movie I had originally gone to see was a real piece of work. After seeing it, I am not sure what the obsession with this "Twilight" series is. It's just a bunch of teenagers (and a 109 year old vampire, who inexplicably gives up drinking blood so he can be with a whiny teenage girl who then falls in love with a member of the arch-enemies of the vampires, the werewolves. WHAT THE #&!$ MAN!?). Now, if you really want to watch a movie about vampires/werewolves/humans that even includes a bit of romance, I don't see why Underworld wasn't more popular. The vampire chick is hot. The werewolves are badasses and the combination of the two is, well maybe not perfect, but a whole heckuva lot better than this New Moon garbage. And there's WAY more action. Enough of that. This movie sucked. Grease agrees; he fell asleep in this movie too, and this time he wasn't even sitting in a movie chair, but a wooden stool. Yeah it really must have sucked. In the immortal words of Grease, "I would have rather watched two straight hours of a full mooning."
