Review of Assassins... (1992) by Cyrus W — 20 Dec 2003

In about half an hour, I'm off to the wonderful and exotic land of Vancouver, British Columbia in sunny Canada. Should be massive amounts of fun like every other Christmas with my cousins is. Expect a whole slew of pictures from my many adventures up north when I get back to Berkeley.

Oh man, the 12th is sooo far away. I've never been home for this long before. Granted the next week will be spent north, but even after that, it's two whole weeks at home. that might just drive me stir crazy. Home's not the only reason why I'll be going nuts though. Berkeley's my home now. I miss it already. I miss the sights, the sounds, the people, the 1-ups.... LA just isn't ever going to be home to me, I think. I guess I'll try to enjoy myself while I'm here.

Speaking of trying to enjoy myself at home, I was watching digital cable that we have here and an old movie called "Assassins" was on. It had Antonio Banderas and Sylvester Stallone in it. Now, with a movie that contains the word "assassins", I figure it'd be pretty good. Lo and behold, it wasn't. It wasn't the worst movie ever, but it was still pretty bad. I then realized that a lot of movies with cool words in it suck. "Assassins", "Surf Ninjas", etc. Then I remembered how I got stuck with Jeff's present at George and Tami's gift exchange. it was an open copy of "American Ninja". Now, as awesome as Micheal Dudikoff is, the movie was pretty bad. I can't believe they made 4 sequels to it. I think the second had to be the worst (I don't actually know; I absolutely refused to see 3-5). Man, they're such bad uses for such cool words. Give ninjas and assassins a bad rap. I hate you, Jeff. Stop propagating the shame.

[i]*sigh*[/i] It's only been a day.... Longest 3 and a half weeks ever.... At least the dustbunnies are having fun.... But still, they probably feel the missage too. I just made up a word.

I don't even know what euphoric means.
