The Green Hornet - 2006 version

we watched this the other evening.

There were some very funny parts to it. Starts off a bit slow, setting the stage for what happens later on.

Seth Rogen plays the Green Hornet - Jay Chou played Kato, the Green Hornets' sidekick. Seth Rogan. Chou is an amazing guy...

and he was excellent as Kato. He was excellent - his timing was terrific so much of the time. Seth Regen, was ....Seth Rogan. It was hilarious at times, other times the story was being explained as to how they started. Probably the funniest parts are their bickering, even fighting. It was fun, worth the time since it has been in the teens and even single digits here in Ohio. It reminded me of the old Batman silly series a bit, but pretty funny. I'd give it a C+. There is a remake  out there, but I don't know if it is any good.

oh, btw, at the beginning of the movie, the Green Hornet is shown as a kid with a very belligerent businessman father. He was flying his superman out the window.

Now, when I was a kid, I told the story around here somewhere, when I used to do that. I thought I was the only goofball that did that. lol

   The last time I did it as a kid, maybe third grade.....we were in the mountains, going up a horseshoe turn, in a hard driving rain and high winds, and superman slipped out of my hand, flew over the guardrail and down the mountain and trees.

   And I couldn't convince my parents to pull over and let me go get him. That may have been the first time they joked about the hospital giving them the wrong kid.... lol
