Lament of a compulsive film goer
Two things I wanna see before I depart this mortal coil:
1) A movie wherein Jennifer Lopez does NOT find love whether it's with some hapless doughboy or Antonio Banderas or whoever...NO LOVE for Jennifer.
In movie after movie, love smacks her in the noggin or gets stuck to her shoe...what is so inherently lovable about Jennifer? She looks like a plastic action figure to me...a dime a dozen in every way.
2) I also want to see a film where Bruce Willis obeys orders without question or grumbling like a spiteful schoolgirl under his breath about his dopey equivocal superiors.
Screenwriters think this sort of malice makes Bruce's soldier characters look noble, nothing could be further from the truth... would you follow an officer into peril who was bitching like a junior high school girl about gutless senior officers and the like?
I wouldn't.
BTW that gleaming sweating chrome dome of Bruce's in "Tears of the Sun" is a laughable nonstarter. A half trained farmboy could pick him off with a squirrel gun from a mile off the way his head glitters shamelessly in the sun.
