This evening I have

[karohemd]

- Cooked a lovely tasting but uninteresting looking ratatouilleish dish (courgettes, leeks, onions, garlic, chopped tomatoes in a slightly spicy tomato sauce) and eaten half of it
- Finished the Dark Movie Quiz with lots of help from you guys. Thanks
- seen Crank which is cool, fast, light action entertainment but I'm afraid hardly the awesome ride raggedhalo wants to make us think. It has some good stunts and several laugh out loud funny moments but it's one of those films with lots of cross cut, speed up/slow down, close-up editing that annoys me. Disappointingly unlike other Statham films, there weren't any crazy karate/martial arts stunts, just running, jumping and lots of gun-ho.
I didn't fall asleep because it didn't get boring but I can go to sleep now without any problems.
Oh, and those of you who are into naked men's arses, you see quite a lot of Statham's (long escape sequence in a hospital gown), which was a bit much for me but we got a bit of Amy Smart's and there were babes in plexiglass bubbles, too so it was nicely balanced.
Oh, the soundtrack is quite fun, too, it's been a long time since I last heard Loverboy's Turn me Loose. ;o)

Two things made Crank for me. First, some of the visuals were really clever, particularly where phonecalls etc. were concerned. Secondly, as you say, the soundtrack is pretty fly: the first song you hear is New Noise by Refused, which I adore, and was therefore sold.
