Ridiculous statement from Paul Perrymore

I have decided that 2010 is the year I Zen the f#(k out. I have implemented some basic changes in order to achieve the Zening the f#(k out. As part of the overall package I have decided to watch a movie a day for the next year.

12 Rounds

Don't get me wrong, this is a dumb, dumb, dumb action movie. Complete with terrible performances and an director trying waaaay too hard to make it look like a lot of money was spent on this film. That being said, it kinda works. Aidan Gillen is a decent sneering kind of villan. John Cena is a block of wood, but he can run and fight well on camera. The story is thin at best, but it does a good job of moving from action sequence to action sequence. There are sections where it is painfully obvious that corners were cut in the comission of this picture. But that adds a campy element that made kinda fun. Again, this is a dumb movie, but it played the shitty hand it was dealt extremely well.
