What a movie! I’m CRANKed up for sure!

Review of “Crank” DVD released Jan 2007

Trying to post this on my myspace blog, but as usual they’re “Sorry, an unexpected error has occured” and the fucking thing won’t post.  Thank Jebus I have my own goddamned blog!!!

Within the past week more than a few people have mentioned this movie, “Crank” and said it was just unbelievable. By happy coincidence, it arrived from Netflix yesterday, and for the first time in a while I actually sat down and watched a whole movie from beginning to end.

Fitz told me it was one of those films that keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end… and boy, he wasn’t kidding! I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, but I will say that the premise of the story and the way it was shot was friggin’ brilliant… there was suspense, fear and danger, and it seems as though you’re right inside the main character’s body and mind. Wow… just wow!

It’s full of violence, blood and gore, but there are also moments of romance and comic relief in the most absurd settings. The more than memorable, and very public, sex scene includes one of those moments. I won’t ruin the laugh in the scene, but I will say the (completely clothed) sex scene in general is pretty hot - especially if you’re one of us voyeur-types or fans of public naughtiness!  (OK. I admit it, I’ve been feeling a bit randy all day *sigh*) From now on, anytime I walk through Chinatown I’m sure I’ll hear my inner sex freak’s knowing chuckle and get just a little breathless. Hmmmm…

Isn’t it interesting how a few moments’ time can replay in your memory over and over, and actually affect you physically? Then again, I suppose that’s a double-edged sword, being that not all memories are necessarily good ones.

There were no special features on the DVD, which sucked; I’m nearly as interested in the special features as the movies themeselves… dammit, that’s what DVDs are for!
