RUSH HOUR 3.... THUMBS UP or DOWN?

Tuesday was one of those dog days of August where the heat and humidity simply sapped out any energy that I had to do anything constructive. Granted I was able to take care of the important day-to-day things pertaining to the bar. However, when it came to posting an update...... Let's just say that the heat sapped my spirit to write. Sure I could have posted:

1) A witty little ditty about the group of gold-digging girls from Virginia who kept milking guys for shots and drinks all night long.

OR

2) Discuss in full detail my disdain for the gypsies who come in every Monday, wearing fake jewelry, knockoff Reebok sneakers, and tons of cologne. Share with you the annoying tendencies that they have, including loudly singing in the bar, chasing off chicks with their playboy moves and the way they drool after my bartender, F.I.T. GIRL. It's creepy and disgusts me.

But I didn't. Just didn't have the energy.

However, I am feeling a bit spunky now so I may as well post now before the weather gets funky again tomorrow (Wednesday-95 degrees predicted).

Saw RUSH HOUR 3 with the ENERGIZER BUNNY. I'd gotten advance screening passes from a good friend of mine (thanks MEGHAN!) and was looking forward to a few hours away from the bar to check it out.

Going into this movie, I had no expectations at all. It's been about six years since RUSH HOUR 2, so to be honest, I had to force myself to remember what the basic gist of the movies were.

The film in a nut shell, is 90+ minutes of fast paced, non-stop action and laughter; CHRIS TUCKER is hilarious with his familiar facial tics and loud screams (though it can wear on you after awhile). JACKIE CHAN has mellowed a bit for his age yet you still enjoy the banter between the two.

There are various scene stealers throughout the film that will make you laugh out loud; One in particular will remind you very much of a skit made famous by ABBOTT and COSTELLO years ago.




Much of the film takes place in Paris, France and that carries a lot of interesting moments that make you say "Hmmmmm" if you can read between lines.

Overall, while this movie certainly won't win any Oscars for best acting, if you are simply looking for laughs and sheer entertainment to get you out of the hot sun for a couple of hours, you can do a lot worse than RUSH HOUR 3.

WEDNESDAY: "GIRLS NIGHT OUT" with $3.00 Mixed Well Drinks (for the ladies) and $2.50 PBR Cans (or 5/$10.00) for everyone!


It's going to be another hot one today so stay cool and see ya later!
