Fitting in the motion picture @ micgos的部落格

Thanks to Saturday Night Live, Christopher Walken has reinvented himself as a comedic thespian. His "More Cowbell" illustrate is legendary, and the "Best of Christopher Walken" DVD has been a top retailer. Walken appeared in end year's Adam Sandler out-of-the-way evenness comedy, "Click," and he as well was united to John Travolta in the big screen version of "Hairspray" earlier this period of time. This week, Walken is put money on in what could be his strangest office to day of the month in "Balls of Fury."

The show centers on Randy Daytona (played by Tony Award defeater Dan Fogler), a youth ping-pong genius that was the household name of the 1988 Olympic Games, (not in definite life, fitting in the motion picture). Daytona's father places a bet on his son's challenge match, which ends up costing Randy the game, and his begetter his go. Randy is shamed and spends the adjacent 19 age doing ping-pong trickery in Reno.

Flash readdress to the present, and the FBI is testing to broke a Chinese wrongdoing divine named Feng, (played by Christopher Walken). Feng as well happens to be the one at the rear Randy's father's extermination and is a HUGE ping-pong fan. Feng is retentive an asking just table game contest and the feds enlisted man Randy to go in as their gram molecule to skint Feng and get his reprisal for the extermination of his male parent.

An action-craving FBI agent, (played by George Lopez), a blindfolded ping-pong lecturer and his niece, (James Hong and Maggie Q.), round out our lot of heroes in this slap-stick drama.

"Balls of Fury" is "Enter the Dragon" meets "Hot Shots," but it doesn't docket nearly as all right as either of those two films. The wittiness is in the main physical, and gets old pretty expedited. Fogler is clad as the clean up table tennis player, and George Lopez is as jokey as he can be in his narrow office. The big bummer for me, though, was Walken. It seemed same he ne'er genuinely got a switch on his behaviour of Feng. He's musical performance a Chinese law-breaking lord, but he's habilimented like Gary Oldman in "Bram Stoker's Dracula." And, he's not Chinese! Maybe that's bit of the gag, but it's not terribly humourous. He too delivers his lines in a mixed bag of distance - go from rough and cacophonous to Liberace-like. The bottom line is that I ne'er bought him as the bad guy.

The climactic country is extraordinary and ridiculous, near Feng and Daytona playing a life-and-death spectator sport of ping-pong...with no table. It makes no denotation at all.
