I just got
Throttled by
Charlie's Angels.
(Look, it sounded pretty cool in my head.)
On the RagT* Fun-o-Meter (which, unlike your garden variety Fun-o-Meter, goes to
eleven),
Full Throttle rates a...six. A strong six. And if that sounds like a low score, keep in mind that the Fun-o-Meter - at least this one - is a harsh mistress. There's never been an eleven. I reserve that for the movie that will make me fall to my knees in the theatre and weep tears of joy and rapture. A strong six is certainly above the Fun-o-Meter average.
The
Angels kept me entertained for two hours. I had a silly grin on my face through the entire movie. The talky bits were excruciating, but the action - and the ass-wiggling (and there was a
lot of that going on) - was sweet, the chicks were cute, and
Bernie Mac was funny. What more can you ask for? Nothing. You really can't.
(I liked the first one better, though. And there wasn't nearly enough of
Crispin Glover. I mean, you got
Crispin Glover in your movie, and you don't include him in every scene? What's up with that? Never mind that he died in the first one.)
* Yeah, uh, about that... See,
McG got the
street nom de plume going, so I figured I needed one too. Look out for
The Longest Journey: Static, written and directed by
RagT. The
Pen Name Generator (ironically enough located at a website called TheRag.com) wanted to name me "Scott Tornquist". But homey don't play that.
