The BO

Well, it would seem that "Elektra" came in fifth at the box office behind such movies as "Meet the Fockers," "Coach Carter," and even "Racing Stripes," the racing zebra film.

We went to a 5pm showing of "Elektra" on Saturday afternoon, expecting to be wowed. We hated "Daredevil," but we like movies with strong women characters (DH likes their skimpy clothing more than anything else, lol). There were some really cool special effects, but the film itself was sloooooooooooooooooooow. In addition to eye candy Jennifer Garner, the film starred that Croatian hunk of hunks, Goran Visinjc, aka Luka on "ER." However, he got limited screen time. Sigh.

I don't know what's with the martial arts resurgence in films of late. I guess since everything's been done to death, Hollywood is looking eastward for inspiration. I find the hype a little overblown, especially after watching "Hero."
