Every genre has it's place. I often complain about big budget Hollywood movies, mostly because they're crap and filled with actors full of imitation body parts and a teaspoon of charisma. But have you ever asked yourself what if there were no big budget movies? Where would we get T'n'A from? How would we escape reality? How could else could perfectly normal people be vaulted to stardom?



I saw X2 on Friday night. It plays by most of the big budget action rules; minimal plot, copious destructions, innumerable battles, beautiful people (Mmmm, Famke) and always always leave the door open for the next installment. I wouldn't of have had it any other way. Movies like these are as infectious as shot of heroin. After having watched X2, I was downright giddy on my way out having had healthy doses of the aforementioned T'n'A, action and wishing I was an X-Man.
