So Joe and I purchased advance tickets to ensure that we were front and center at the Arclight for the 7:25pm Friday night showing.The Marine is the first movie to be solely developed by WWE Films (but the second to be released), and not surprisingly the company's current slate of movies all star the best and brightest of the WWE's wrestlers. With such quality backing I'm sure it shocks no-one that this flick isn't exactly Oscar material. That said, it's certainly 93 minutes of fun filled action and adventure, with an explosion of some sort every thirty seconds, so I'm sure it'll satisfy many a wrestling fan.
Sadly John is only shirtless for a fraction of the movie. However more often that not, as discharged marine John Triton, he is soaked to the skin. And my does that grey t-shirt cling perfectly to his bulging biceps and pumped pecs throughout the movie.Though Mr. Cena gets above the line billing, main baddie Robert Patrick over acts his little black heart out, is given all the best lines (and definitely more lines), and cannily pays homage to his most famous film role, the T-1000.
Lastly there's Mrs John Triton, played by Kelly Carlson, who... well, let's just say Meryl Streep has cause for concern. You all thought Kelly's portrayal of blow-up doll creator turned Scientologist Kimber on Nip/Tuck was real acting.
But back to John, a tad monosyllabic? Sure. A little Neanderthal-esq? You could say so. Needing a little help with his emotional expressiveness.? Certainly. But at 6'1 and 240 lbs, the perfect specimen of a man? Abso-fraking-lutely!With that faint smile and glint in his eye when he talks, and of course that phenomenal physique, well, I reckon he's got star quality. I certainly left the movie wanting much more of John!
And one last thing, take note Mr. Woo, John would make the perfect He-Man in your upcoming Masters of the Universe movie!

At your earliest convenience, please help me with a school project by participating in the following survey on blogging at http://www.stellarsurvey.com/response/s.aspx?u=6936.
I am writing a law review article on blogging and the role of blogs in the FCC media ownership debate, along with how blogs affect our conception of media and any correlation it may have to broadcasting. The personal background questions in the survey will provide insight into the demographics of bloggers and what the results might mean in relation to underrepresented groups or classes.
The survey is anonymous. The more participants the better, so if you're feeling really nice, then please persuade everyone you know online to participate as well.
Thanks!
John Cena is the hottest man alive!
I totally agree, what a fucking STUD. Im hoping other good projects come his way. And that HP Corvette scene was AMAZING!
His shirt should have torn off in the semi scene, oh well! LOL
Early Oscar buzz has it that Forest Whitaker, Jack Nicholson, and ... John Cena are all up for Best Actor. The question is: Will he wear his WWE belt as an accessory for his tuxedo?
Indeed he will. Its a spinning belt, so it should entertain you as much as it will dazzle you. Also, he will be performing a musical selection from his Hip-Hop/Rap CD "You can't see me" titled "Dont Fuck with Us".
PEACE
This so isn't my kind of movie, but I would pay to watch Kelly Carlson read the phone book.
I don't think Chad gets it
What is it that Chad's not getting? He doesn't like Kelly Carlson?
Uhh ... that the other comments are in reference to wanting to top or bottom for John Cena. Kelly Carlson has nothing to do with it ... unless she is filming the video.
Yeah, well I was referring to the fact that I like Kelly Carlson. So thanks. I think I get it.
Ouch! I like her too -- Nip/Tuck is my favorite television show. What other actress could display the emotional and dramatic range of Kimber? Certainly not Mariska Hargitay or Emily Proctor.
I think I need to see this. Alone. Tomorrow. Back row.
Oh and NOT because of Ms. Carlson...
