Lethal Weapon 3 | pinartarhan.com

Mel Gibson is a father. Again. I’m emphasizing on the again part, since you probably know that this is his 8th child. OK, so he has like 1o siblings and I guess we can conclude that he likes big families. But the problem is, only one of these 8 children is from another woman- his current girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. The rest of the “klan” is from his wife he is getting divorced from. I don’t know which is worse really? To be getting divorced or to be getting divorced from the other parent of your 7 kids?

I used to have a huge crush on Mel Gibson when I was a teen. Don’t get me wrong, when I watch his old movies- I still have a crush. It is the whole drunkenness, weird comments and religion mania that turn me off. Of course he is not the looker he was in the 80s and the 90s, but he used to be the one of the most good-looking men in Hollywood.

Now it is not uncommon for us regular folk to fantasize about celebrities and wish we could date them- but as much as I wished I could play Michelle Pfeiffer’s part in Tequila Sunrise or Rene Russo’s in Lethal Weapon 3 ( The list is longer, I’m just making a point here), I really and literally couldn’t fantasize about being his romantic interest. He was always married- since 1980 and he started to appear in films in the late 70s anyway- and he had so many children!!! I mean it is OK to want to have kids with someone you love but 7 is just way too much. It means his wife Robyn Moore spent more than 5 years of her life pregnant. Please, Mel- a little birth control would really do you good.

He is a good actor and a film-maker I respect. His personal life aside, I admire his talent. I just wish that he can channel his energy to his work. A lot of us can barely make time for a career and a personal life. How can you be an actor/director/producer and have 8 kids? Unbelievable.

Favorite Revenge Movies

Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life — Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft

Lara Croft is originally a video game and this is the second movie based on the VG character of the same name. I haven’t seen the first movie, but after seeing this one, I do want to see it. It’s by no means one of the best action/fantasy I’ve ever seen, but it is fast and fun- which is what I wanted to get from this movie anyway. It’s directed by Jan de Bont, who is actually more famous as a cinematographer than a director. He has worked on Lethal Weapon 3, which remains one of my favorite action movies. But I find him to be a talented director as well. Ever since he has directed the amazing Speed with Keanu Reeves in 1994. Sure Speed 2 was awful, but I’m willing to forgive him for that. Speed did rock. And although Lara Croft is no Speed, it is enjoyable.

Lara Croft is a British archaeleogist. She is also very fit, has amazing stamina and can kick anyone’s butt. Angelina Jolie is perfect in bringing a video game character to life; I have always thought her big eyes and extra full lips looked outer worldly anyway. The movie could very well be a spy flick because it does involve traveling around the globe, British Intelligence, a menacing scientist,Chinese bad guys and more. Of course it doesn’t lack sexual tension and intense chemistry since Lara picks her partner in this mission: Ex-marine-turned-mercenary Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler) for help. The mission is very difficult, if not impossible. They need to find Pandora’s Box before the scientist and his men do. And Lara isn’t exactly trusting her ex.

The movie isn’t trying to be intelligent. It doesn’t take itself seriously. It is strictly enterta?ning. Kick back, and enjoy!
