and hey, it's always great to see Matthew Modine getting work.

I for one can't wait to see Transporter 2.

From the user comments (may contain spoilers of sorts, if you're worried about it):

"I'm sorry to say it, but this is one of the most ridiculous movies I have ever seen. The plot hardly makes any sense, the action scenes stretch the limits of plausibility, and the acting is pretty shoddy.

But I loved it.

I don't care whether it was implausible fun, but it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless. Yes, there are parts which are incredibly stupid, like the character of Frank Martin and the villain fighting on an out-of-control airplane, the silly things like having the French policeman from the first film being arrested and teaching the cadets at the police station how to make fine French cuisine(??), or the fact that there's this Jamaican guy that shows up out of nowhere at the end of the movie for comedic value(???), or the fact that you can spin a car in mid-air, have the bottom of the car hit a wrecking ball, which knocks off a remote-triggered bomb that blows up after dislodging, and land the car safely(????), or the fact that there are hardly any police to be found in the city...and so on. But, you'll probably enjoy this movie if you're a fan of the genre, and hey, it's always great to see Matthew Modine getting work.

Bottom Line: If you like fun, dumb action movies, you'll probably love this. I'd go see it as a matinée if I were you. The movie is less than 1 and a half hours long."

I liked him in that wrestling movie.  Big hands.  Still makes me giggle.

I really enjoyed Transporter 1 and am looking forward to the sequel.  It's not about realism, it's about entertainment.

I used to own the Transporter 1 DVD.  I enjoyed the movie.  I particularly liked the fight scene with the oil, where he used the bike pedals to gain traction.

I'll probably skip the second one until it comes out on DVD, but I don't think I'll buy it.

Interesting side note:  I bought the Napoleon Dynamite DVD for $10.  I exchanged it at a DVD exchange store for $8 in credit.  Therefore, I rented it for only $2.00.  Go me.  Churn the butter.

I am so excited.

Of course, Jason Statham is my #1 celebrity crush, so I'm supposed to be excited.

He is waaaaaaay cooler than Michael Madsen.

Oh yeah.  Michael Madsen doesn't even make the top ten.  (Don't worry, I won't list them all for you. )
