Yesterday was pretty much a travel day for David, his siblings and me … we left Connecticut in the early afternoon and drove to Stamford before boarding a train for NYC. Aram flew off to San Francisco, CA, Lara drove back to New Haven and Eden, David and I made our way to Manhattan. At first we had grand plans to do something fun in the city last night but we ended up crashing out instead. We grabbed a bite to eat at Aja and then decided to venture out to see The Transporter 3:
I gotta say, I was very much looking forward to seeing the third installment of the franchise from the first time I heard that the sequel was on the way. For me, the Transporter films aren’t about great movie-making … they’re really about the fun action scenes. I was really hoping that this movie would offer the same … and while, yes, the film does offer some fun action scenes the whole thing is kinda ruined by the pitiful attempt to interject a plot into the film. Sorry to say, I wasn’t blown away by this film … the Ukranian girl who kept trying to get into Frank Martin (Jason Statham)’s pants was totally irritating. She was the weakest part of the weak storyline that was shoved into the film. The movie was strongest when the action scenes took place … all the fighting, all the car scenes — that’s why people see these films. I didn’t hate it … cuz the action scenes were fun but it’s not a movie that I would ever want to see again. Hopefully, if they decide to make Transporter 4 they’ll stay away from interjecting drivel into the storyline. Just bring the action — and the half-nekkid scenes of Statham — and leave the plot to other folks who really know how to use one.
Boo. It’s cold and rainy here in NYC today. David and I planned on spending the day checking out the windows on 5th Ave. but it looks like that ain’t happening :( Not sure what we’re doing tonight but we’ll prolly come up with something :)
