Went to see "Love Hurts" Greatly enjoyed it. ^_^
9 months ago
Had time to kill before I went to the gym so decided to check out a movie at the theater to kill time. Didn't care for much of the selection so I picked out one that I haven't seen a trailer for and it turned out to be "Love Hurts." Was expecting it to be some rom-com that I'd probably nap through, did not expect it to be a modern day equivalent to an early Jackie Chan film.
I was laughing my ass off at the comedic fights, wincing at some of the brutal hits, and enjoyed it more than I was expecting. Great story of an ex hit man getting dragged back to his old life to save the woman he loves, and lots of ass kicking for the ride.
After the film I decided to look up information about the lead and was surprised that the hero is a freaking grown up Short-round from Temple of Doom, or Data from The Goonies, Ke Huy Quan. I need to check out his previous film, "Everywhere all at once" if I remember correctly.
All in all, wanna see a good martial arts film with some laughs, check it out. It's just like an old Jackie Chan film. Now I gotta rent the other film. Check out the trailer till next time.

I may just have to add this one to my list of films to see when it hits whatever streaming service, just for the leading man alone. Good to know he's still around and kicking (quite literally, it would seem).

I was surprised to see how many films he's been in when I looked him up. Didn't know he was in Encino Man as well.

I hear "Dog Man" is also good.

Did NOT want to be in a theatre with lots of kids at the time.

Yeah, it's a kid's movie... but it's also "Robocop." From the mind that created Captain Underpants.

Thought the art style looked familiar. Maybe one day if it's free on Amazon or Tubi. It's thanks to that platform that I discovered that Paws of Fury was pretty much a scene for scene recreation of Blazing Saddles for kids.

Fair enough.

"Everything Everywhere All At Once" was the 2022 Best Picture Oscar winner. Yeah, definitely check it out.

I think I remember seeing a single trailer for it and thought it was a strange foreign acid trip and thought the fight was just a single scene. The googly eye didn't help. ^_^;
