This was my first time watching Charlie’s Angels and I couldn’t help but really enjoy myself. Well, aside of Kernel trying his best to take the female lead from me during our show. Although I have to say to Kernel; Girl I didn’t know you could get down like that!
Some may ask, how action-packed can a movie starring three super-hot women be?
I have the answer for you. Very! It kicks the butt of a lot of the action movies I’ve seen starring dudes, that’s for sure. With butts in mind, well, there is that famous scene of Diaz dancing her booty off in her room in her panties. I don’t think many manly action heroes could pull that off like her! These women love to use their beauty as a weapon that’s for sure.
You know this movie is going to feature some sexy, cute and fun scenes when we have the likes of Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu teaming up. These ultra-confident actresses play Dylan, Natalie, and Alex, respectively, the super sly detectives known as Charlie’s Angels. I can’t forget about Bill Murray who plays Bosley. He makes me smile. The movie is an adaptation of the 70’s television hit of the same name but the plot has been stepped up a new notches.
Behind these strong women are, arguably, strong men. Keep in mind that these nearly superhero-like women still have a soft side. We are introduced to Barrymore waking up with her real-life love interest (at the time) Tom Green who plays “The Chad”. Liu is dating “Joey” from Friends, Matt LeBlanc who plays an actor. He’s really expanded his repertoire in this one! And then we have Diaz who meets her guy Pete while undercover. He’s played by Luke Wilson back before his more famous role in Old School (2002). However, relationships don’t seem easy to maintain in the Angels’ line of work.
Relationships aren’t easy to maintain in my line of work either…the work of dealing with Kernel all the time. Just the other day, when I told him what movie we were watching, I couldn’t find him anywhere for the longest time. Apparently, he was trying out some new moves with some rope, tape and a video camera. I found him in the closet trying to spy on me and he somehow got stuck… on the ceiling. I left him for a while until his whimpering got to me.
As I finish up my blog, and listening to the awesome soundtrack this movie has I’m wondering… which Angel am I most like? A girl can’t help but try to put herself in one of these ladies’ leather heels. I think I’m more of a Natalie.
Who are you most like? Or for the guys, who was your favourite Angel?
Be sure to join us again next Friday, May 20 for Pushing Tin. A tale of one-upmanship that takes it to the extreme starring John Cusak, Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton.
Hope to hear from you!
