JCVD

Saw JCVD. It was a lot more interesting than I expected. Jean Claude Van Damme (note the initials) tries to execute some kind of Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and makes a post-modern parody of his own films, complete with reality-show-style confessional. It was a bit strange to me because frankly I've only ever seen Bloodsport and didn't really like it, so this peek at the man behind the persona falls a bit flat because I never really knew the persona to begin with. Also, I wish the whole thing hadn't been in that brown-metal shade a lot of modern movies are using. Interesting though. I love movies that play (in an accessible way) with what is real.
