I
am still recovering from my recent move. The biggest disappointment is
missing out on the most recent "Pokémon Shield" event involving an
electric cat Pocket Monster, so things are not too bad.
My
DVR did not carry over from the move, so I need to get it set to record
NBC News. When "The Daily Show" is taking a couple of weeks off, I
become a little out of touch. It is a good thing that my parents are in
the midst of a move, so they are just too tired to bitch about the
world. That means no biased content is coming my way.
I
guess what is starting to wear on me is the solitude. It would not work
if my ex moved back in with me, but I catch myself trying to figure out
how I could safe proof the residence to allow for it. Her cat misses
her and is probably going a bit stir crazy without her around. The urge
to feel bad starts to well up, but then I appreciate not having found a
long stringy hair in two weeks.
Boone: The Bounty Hunter
Boone
was a decorated Iraq War veteran who came home and found that his true
calling was becoming bounty hunter. He was able to spin this into a
successful television show. By focusing on catching C-list celebrities
with his parkour skills, his show brought a pleasant change to the genre
dominated by Bible-thumping bigots. Sadly, this type of show is a fad
and the network is going to pull the plug on Boone's dreams after they
finish recording the season finale.
Not
willing to go down without a fight, Boone calls in a favor with Cage
from the DEA who owes him a favor. Cage lets him know about the spoiled
millennial Ryan Davenport, an indicted murderer who has skipped bail and
crossed the border. If Boone picks him up and brings him back, the
bounty will at least keep the lights on and the low-budget for this
mission will make it a show that the networks will have to pick up.
There are a couple problems with this plan.
Firstly,
bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico. Secondly, Davenport's father is a
merciless drug kingpin. Boone's producer and his best friend Jackson
will not follow him into this mess. But the thickheaded and seemingly invincible Boone only needs his camera crew. Surely that will be enough to face any adversity that may befall them.
"Boone:
The Bounty Hunter" is a fun way to waste sometime. It is primarily a
promotional tool for the top noncontracted wrestling talent at the time,
and works very well to let the major promotions know what John Morrison
can bring to their brand. Thus, the film does not offer anything clever
or new, but what it does provide is amusing enough.
The
movie is beyond a straight-forward tale of a man finding out how to
become a true hero. If it had a budget and a director with artistic
vision, the tale could be turned into something fantastic. Morrison
lacks the seriousness to be a convincing hero, but would make a great
sidekick. We enjoy watching him try to make the film work like a parent
cheering on their child from the youth soccer sidelines. It is a feature
that knows that all it has to do is not offend the audience, and will
not get mad watching it.
John
Morrison has provided Family Videos across the nation the ideal movie
to have running in preparation of the, "what do you recommend that no
one has seen," query. "Boone: The Bounty Hunter" is fun and inoffensive
which is all you should expect for a $2.00 rental. You do not need to
see this flick, but if you want to create a cheap movie to show the
world what you have to offer creatively, this flick is a great blue
print.
