I have maxed out saving my vacation hours so I have to start taking time off every 2 weeks, hence I decided to take 8/8 off from work and do nothing. I guess I love to stay up late for no good reason, so we went out to rent 4 movies from BlockBuster tonight. There aren't that many interesting new movies to be rented lately, so we started looking at old movies. We have not heard of this movie "Wasabi" ever but I like Jean Reno (who doesn't?) and it's another Luc Besson movie, so why not? We first saw the movie in English and I think Jean did the English dub so we thought that's what you get from renting through BlockBuster. But then the voice for Ryoko Hirosue in English was just unbearable so we started looking at other language options. We restarted the movie in French and it's so much better. Surprisingly, Ryoko speaks fluent French in this movie while trying to act, so it's pretty impressive!! All in all, it's just a simple, watchable movie that is mildly entertaining. My husband dozed off for 40 minutes... Hopefully the rest of the 3 movies will be better. Will see.
