Lets All Move to Monaco

I can't believe Jason Statham is only three years older than me. That means that he was about 30 years old when he filmed The Transporter, which is just one year younger than what I am now. And there I was, a few minutes ago, watching The Transporter and wondering what it would be like to look like him in ten years time! I seriously thought he was in his late 30s, early 40s. I just came to terms with the fact that my gaydar doesn't work, and now I have to accept that I'm also no good at judging people's ages.

The Transporter was beyond silly, in the same tradition as xXx. Things were somewhat bearable until the point where he got shirtless, covered in oil and... well, if you've seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about. One of the villains was a man in his 60s with the kind of disastrous plastic surgery that only Michael Jackson could sympathise with. Still, watching a shirtless Mr Statham beat up some baddies was a nice way to pass this mellow Tuesday night.

This post is 10% inspired by murdermystery and oatmeal_texas. They know why.

Surely the parachute scene in xXx is better?

I haven't seen xXx yet, but Vin Diesel is nowhere near as amazing as Jason Statham, so I just can't see him pulling something off more enjoyable than Statham slippin' and slidin' out of his enemy's grip.

Dude, when you see xXx... your whole take on the action movie genre will change. ;-)
