Man Flicks

Gotta tell ya...I love a good action flick. I'm not talkin about a drama with a car chase. I'm talkin' about an old fashioned, knock down-drag out, car-flipping, guns blazing, chicks screaming, terrorists plotting, evil doing, good guy triumphing, blood pumping, adrenaline flowing, huge explosions happenin' man-flick. That's what I'm talking about.

Chick flicks are fine. But they have a time and a place. Dates, for instance. And...well, that's about it. But a man-flick...that's good for any occasion.

And what makes a good man-flick? In my humble opinion, it must have these 3 ingredients:

1) There must be a man who has been wronged, and will stop at nothing to correct it.
2) There must be an explosion or gunshot every 5 minutes
3) There must be a reasonable fear that if you go to the restroom, you will miss something big.

These are optional elements:

1) A love interest (but she must have limited lines) (Shannons gonna punch me)
2) Car Chase (these can be cool, but after so many chases over the years, is there a "fresh" one?
3) A dog. ( I like a hero that has a cool dog)

These are never good elements for a great action flick:

1) A love interest that talks too much (Shannon's gonna punch me...hard)
2) Main characters played by ex-NFL players (almost always a bad move)
3) German bad guys (way overdone. Besides, they've had enough of a bad rap already)

Those are my rules. Simple. Complete.

So, I suggest you take the one you love, kiss her gently, put her in the car, and drive her to the movie theater to see a bunch of bad guys get blowed up really good!
