Chuck Heston, 80s, Chuck Norris

Wow, it has been a while. Leave it to Charlton Heston to break my writers block, well not really block, but giving me the motivation. He will be missed. I feel a Heston marathon coming... ...or I may just give Touch of Evil a watch. Touch of Evil probably has the best opening shot in a movie ever. Long crane shot through this little town.

As far as movies go I have been stuck in 80s. LOL! No surprise there. I found an interesting flic called Looker. It is a Michael Crichton movie from 81, I think. Not really sure of the motivation, but this company is putting models into a computer program then killing them. The plastic surgeon gets caught in the mess and there is a gun that when you shot someone make you invisible to them. One of the things I like is the old 80s style computers. Wow, how life has changed in 20 years. Also I noticed that the women were not just getting bigger boobs when they were going to the plastic surgery.

I rediscovered Chuck Norris from my childhood. Lone Wolf McQuade, Walker: Texas Ranger before he was a clean cut do gooder. This is a beer drinking, dirty kick ass Texas Ranger, that has the feel of a spaghetti western. One of my favorite movies growing up. I love the beginning where a bandito says "A Texas Ranger kicked my father’s teeth out. Are you going to kick my teeth our?” So what does Chuck do? He kicks out his teeth. Classic! I also love the old Dodge Ram Challenger with a super charger. It must get about 3 miles per gallon. Chuck drives it out of the ground after dumping a beer all over himself. This is by far my favorite Chuck movie. Awesome! I highly recommend this for anyone out there.

I also saw Forced Vengeance. This movie is so bad, it is actually funny. The high light is the silhouetted fight scene that is shown at the beginning and in the middle of the movie. That was the best part, but really showing it twice. LOL! Not sure that I would recommend this, but if you got time to kill, it is pretty funny.

By the way, my favorite Chuck fact: "Chuck Norris once ate a whole cake before his friends could tell him there was a stripper in it."
