We watched 12 Rounds starring John Cena tonight. Lest you think I am a negligent mother for allowing my children to watch such a violent movie (and let us not forget the bad language), you can rest assured in the knowledge that they only watch violent (and bad language) saturated movies if they star professional wrestlers.
12 Rounds wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It was all action with very little actual acting which was a good thing. I mean, I like John Cena (I mean, he's nowhere near Edge), but let's face it, it's a good thing he has professional wrestling to fall back on.
12 Rounds was also much better than Cena's previous flick, The Marine.The Marine featured a scene where some gangster types were wandering around the marsh in South Carolina, during the middle of Summer, wearing suits. People, I live in South Carolina. I wouldn 't even wander around my own backyard in a suit, let alone the marsh. Just thinking about the unreasonably summertime weather (and Edge) has me a little sweaty.
What the hell was I talking about? Oh yeah, 12 Rounds. While 12 Rounds was much better than I expected, it wasn't the all time greatest movie starring a pro wrestler. That dubious honor goes to John Carpenter's They Live starring Rowdy Roddy Piper. How could you not love a movie that features the memorable quote "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum." That's good stuff, I tell ya.
One more thing....after I did a little poking around on IMDB.com I have discovered a remake of They Live will be out in 2011. Seriously?
