January 27, 201313 yr Active Members It's been years since I braved a Saturday night out to the movies, but I had a free pass about to expire, so last night I went to see Parker. The movie stars the hunky Jason Statham, but his character has suffered so many wounds that it is a map of his prior battles. But it is hunky, and he is shirtless at points. Jennifer Lopez is also in the movie, an almost embarrassingly bad actor. The guys around me didn't seem to mind. Parker starts out with a caper that is quite fun to watch, and then it ends with a caper that is good but not quite up to the first one. In between we watch preparation and planning (yawn) with the occasional fist fight. But, it was free right? I had a nice seat all picked out, but then a Hispanic family with a small child sat behind me. Mommy kept kicking my seat, so I moved behind her. This put me in a circle of people who wouldn't shut up during the movie. And the young child in front of me acted quite predictably. When he finally bored after about 30 minutes, they gave him a cartoon-watching device that had a nice, bright light in the darkened theater. He also couldn't keep his mouth shut or sit still. Yet no one, even me, said a word about it. Perhaps if the parents had forgone their Jumbo popcorn and super-sized drinks they could have afforded a baby-sitter. So, I endured the movie more than enjoyed it. But it was free!
