Aw, c'mon.

It's Charlie's Angels!

It's the same winning formula as the first, only, done better.

It's got the oddly missing thrills from the Matrix: Reloaded -- the opening sequence had me tingly all over in excitement -- and it doesn't pretend to be something other than a big, sexy, feminine action movie ... What's not to like about that?

"You were the Cock. I was the Beaver."

Brilliant.

And whomever made the casting choice of Justin Theroux deserves to be annointed a saint. Yu-mMY. He is a carbon copy of my serious flirt, who still retains a bit of my love, right down to the punky accessories.

Justin Theroux is the new Yum.

What we have been saying for ages on Barbelith:

"Daring Demi's New Body

Madonna takes it off at age 44 and never looked better in her new video "Hollywood". But perhaps the hottest body -- and topic -- of the summer is 40-year-old Demi Moore and exactly how she got that physique. Access Hollywood talked to the miracle man behind Demi's brand new bod.

"It's the diet everyone is looking for and doesn't realize even exists," revealed Demi's diet guru Juliano. "You can eat cake pudding and pie, not work out and just like hang out and be lazy all day and get ripped."

Chef to the stars Juliano is the gourmet genius who has created a diet that he claims has taken years off Demi's appearance and inches off her waist. So just how does he do it? It's attributed to the in-the-raw diet that he serves up. Unbelievably, nothing on his menu has ever been cooked.

"You eat less, you have more energy, you live longer and you never have to go to the doctor and dentist," Juliano told Access.

Demi's diet rules out meat and dairy and consists of mainly vegetables, seeds and nuts. When Juliano is not working as a $1,000 per-day private chef for Demi, you'll find him preparing bread-less, cheese-less pizzas at his "raw" restaurant in Santa Monica. A hot spot for figure- conscious celebrities like Pamela Anderson, Daryl Hannah and Alicia Silverstone."

Um, the couple of ten grand worth of surgery she's had might have assisted a little, too.

But all this is immaterial. Movie's not out here for another fortnight. But see it I shall. Braced by a screening of the first one just before. Ah, Tim Curry! Ah, Bill Murray!

Which still doesn't retract from the fact that going on a diet of raw foods makes everyone lose any excess overweight, clears up the skin tone into luminous, makes the perception and energy balanced and lengthens the longetivy of the body, devoid of most common western world diseases. Believe me, this stuff is big in fashion world circles, and now, in Hollywood circles.

Full Throttle, much like the first one, steals -- some might say samples -- unabashedly from a host of movies, Matrix understandably & all their slo-mo, fast-mo trickery, the Scorsese Cape Fear, with my future husband Theroux standing in for De Niro in a cartoonish, punky version and T2 in a sequence, which admittedly, could easily have been a misstep, given said T2 villans involvement in this movie. But it works, much like the excellent She Spies TV series, maintaining just the right balance between reiterations of the first movie, 'samples' from other works and wicked action that border on the ridiculous.

Just saw this today with friends and laughed the entire time, in a good way. Ba ha ha! You're right - it was much more fun than the original. Maybe because more of it seemed completely over the top - "This is hostel, ja?"

Oh, and massive thumbs up in agreement on Justin Theroux. I realized that the only time I've seen him in anything before was when he played Kenneth Pyper in a production of Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Toward the Somme that came through here last year. Very strange to realize that partway through the film.

What we have been saying for ages on Barbelith:


Well, golly, if it's coming from such a source of journalistic integrity as Access Hollywood, it can't be just some crazy fad....

You think SHE SPIES is GOOD???!?!? Didn't that shit get cancelled and play on Saturday nights where they stick bad TV? That was the one with Natasha Henstridge, right?

I might get sort-of-dragged against my will to see this...but I guess I'm up for mindless fun as long as it doesn't suck. I hear the first one's better than the second from a lot of reviews, though.

She Spies is excellent.

I was pleasantly surprised by Natasha Henstridge's ability to 'act'.

*snicker*

Just one reason to love that show.
