Nacho Libre June 27, 2006

I have a terrible confession: I was inches from seeing Click today. Inches! I mean, it was playing at Cobble Hill, so it would have cost but $6. Nacho Libre, on the other hand, would set me back $7. The two flicks both received failing metacritic scores - Nacho was higher by 7 - and my thrift nearly let Sandler pin Black in the cinematic wrestling match for my movie dollars.
Thankfully, I realized that I like Black a lot more than Sandler, and thus sprung for the more expensive movie.
Which was awesome, by the way. I only wish my grandmother were still alive. She loved wrestling, especially Mexican wrestling, and I think she would really have liked this movie.
The fight choreography was so good, I think I came to understand her fascination with it. Also, the score and the soundtrack rocked. (Even if, Beck, you broke my heart. You know why.)
Because he married Giovanni Ribisi’s twin sister (yikes!) or because he believes we all come from aliens?
He knows what he did.
Hi ,I’ve Just blogged about Nacho Libre, It’s not out the UK yet, but I want to see it just from the poster it looks great! Jack’s belly hanging over the trunks with pride. Beck indeed rocks.

I cracked up through Nacho Libre, although, being someone who doesn’t like violence in any form I could have done without watching the wrestling scenes. Jack Black is a comedic genius!
