My two best friends were gracious enough to a) invite me out after my crappy football day and b) choose a movie starring my favorite scowling tough guy/former Funky Bunch frontman. Plus they waited a few minutes while I changed out of my cursed Cowboy gear and into something more Hip Mom Going to Hot Guy Action Movie. We went to our favorite
After this much ado, we prepared to melt into our seats from the sheer hotness of Mark Wahlberg along with the smokey goodness of Christopher Bridges, aka Ludacris. There was a momentary worry that we would have to put a smackdown on the dudes in front of us who seemed unaware that every time they texted [as the movie was starting; WTF?], their freaking iPhones lit up like beacons. But our kind reminders were enough and we settled in for the fantastic pleasure of Max Payne.
Like Wanted, this was brain candy with lava-hot eye candy filling. Max Payne's story is slightly more credible but in the end, it was a who-cares-how-unbelievable-it-is-I-am-blissfully-enthralled thrill ride of a movie. There was nothing not to love about it, unless you are immune to the sensitive tough-guy appeal of Mr. Wahlberg or can't appreciate the studious yet charmingly cocky nature of Mr. Bridges (Ludacris, that is, not Beau; he was actually a tad overdone). The explosions, the gunfights, the mysterious & spooky Valkyries, those beautiful furrowed brows...

Let me feel your pain...

I am dying to see this movie. I do heart me some Marky Mark.
Cinetopia is one of my top five happy places, even with the overpricedness of it. Anytime I can have a pitcher of beer in a movie theatre, you can color me happy.
Oh my gosh, you died and ended up in Heaven, huh? I would have thought I had if I'd been there. Cinetopia=Heaven. Wahlberg=Angel.
don't you mean "let me feel your payne?"
hyeh.
I'm still not sure why splitting the bill and sitting in the restaurant to eat was breaking her brain, but oh well.
It was all good.
I'm glad we were able to get out. :)
(I would like to reinstate the walks or tea, now the cold is setting in and with it, my hip is hurting. Yes, my HIP. I sound like an old, old lady.)
ooooo! The hotness it is going to my brain!
Did you see Mark on SNL this past weekend? ROFLMAO!
Ludacris? Sigh.
Wow! You went out on a school night? I guess you put off grading papers for another night huh? : )
I could enjoy an evening looking at Marky Mark in that black leath-uh. Uh huh.
"This was brain candy with lava-hot eye candy filling..."
That line totally reminds me why I miss reading your blog so much.
You naughty girls have all the fun. I think I might take the 7 layer bar over Mark, but that's me.
