Demons, Martial Arts, Kurt Russell: What Else Do You Want?
You now have three nights left to go see Big Trouble in Little China at Central Cinema. The neglected stepchild of the John Carpenter/Kurt Russell collaborations of the 1980s that also brought us such cinematic classics as The Thing and Escape From New York, Big Trouble is a slapstick comedy disguised as a fantasy adventure.
As far as plot is concerned, all you need to know is this: Russell stars as Jack Burton, an Average Joe trucker who finds himself forced to battle demons, monsters, and a 2,000-year-old Chinese sorcerer in with his poker winnings and the fate of the world at stake.
There's only one reason to see this movie, and that's if you enjoy things that are awesome. Then again, that's one more reason than exists not to go see it, because there are none. In a manner of speaking, this means that there are infinitely more reasons to go see this flick on the big screen than not. That's not us talking, folks; that's just the math. And the math indicates that you should probably check out showtimes here. And if you go Wednesday, please also join us for Blogsgiving beforehand.
