Hustle

Date: Mon, 13 June 2005

I’m interrupting the grip training series because I feel a moral obligation to tell you something.

Pay close attention, because what I’m about to say may well prove to be the most important tip you receive this summer from any person on any topic.

Go see Kung Fu Hustle.

Seriously. I laughed so hard I nearly hurt myself.

Any movie that opens with a centerfold-perfect, porcelain-doll Chinese babe sitting in a police station because she’s been arrested for spitting is flat out funny.

What happens as a result is even funnier.

I won’t even bother to argue with anyone who says otherwise.

The fight scenes are off the chart – and that’s coming from a guy who doesn’t really like most martial arts films. The plot is forward moving enough to actually tell a tale, and – somehow – the film manages to deliver a convincing love story in which one of the characters never says a word.

That’s good writing.

See it. Summer’s supposed to be fun, so go have some.

Until next time,

Rob LaPointe

P.S. Atkins and The Zone didn’t work? I just came across an interesting – and effective – way to get rid of fat for good. If you’re looking for a quick way to burn the fat and feed the muscle soon (and get in shape for the beach) Burn the fat now!
