I Like Shooting Things

I watched Shoot ‘Em Up with Clive Owen lasterday, and if you like any of the following, you should rent it (or pick it up in a $3 bin):

-Shooting people while having sex with a hooker
-Shooting people while sky-diving
-Shooting people while jumping across rooftops
-Shooting people while jumping through windows
-Shooting people while doing all of the above while holding a baby
-Shooting people in slow motion
-Shooting people while swinging on ropes
-Shooting people and then saying faux clever things
-Shooting like 100 people
-Shooting people while eating carrots
-Eating carrots as a way to seem quirky and tough
-Shooting people while wearing a leather trench coat
-Shooting people and having their heads explode
-Living in some kind of weird warehouse, where people routinely come to shoot you

It’s either the worst or best movie ever, which is what I assume they set out to do – if nothing else, it’s very self-aware. There was some kind of plot involving a Presidential candidate, but all that takes a backseat to the jumping around and shooting people.

I think it’s interesting it has such a high rating on IMDB – I assume it’s because the only people who have watched are the type of people who would read this post and go, “Oh, I need to see that.”

If it weren’t for all the hardcore swearing and blood and violence, I think Spike TV could just run this thing all day, every day.
