Badass Bruce

Hello faithful friends. I won’t waste our time making excuses for my prolonged absence. Frankly, I would only be lying and I doubt that anybody cares too much anyway. I suppose I’ll ease back into it with another movie review. I recently saw Surrogates in the theatre. Aside from the fact that James Cromwell essentially played the same character that he played in I,Robot, I rather enjoyed the Sci-Fi thriller.

The main reason I enjoyed it is simple, Bruce Willis. I absolutely love the guy. The reasons why I love him are even simpler; he’s the everyday hero. He’s not bulging out of his shirt, nor is he beating the baddies with kung fu trickery. He’s just your plain, old, run-of-the-mill badass. He makes you actually believe that he could kick all the ass he kicks on screen. Let’s be honest, no guy in his right mind would ever want to fight Officer John McClane.

The concept of the film is interesting enough as well. It stays in the same vein as most thrillers of its kind do, but it definitely puts some interesting twists on what could have become a played-out theme. We’ve all seen the dangers of technology come to life on the big screen, but Surrogates takes a unique angle on its own approach to the apocalyptic plotline.

I’ll do my best to get back into regular posting. In the meantime, Godspeed BrainTrash eaters.
