Balls Of Fury

Low-brow and proud of it. I'm calling for 'Balls of Fury' to take the top spot this weekend. I like the story, Walken, the incredible comedy, and riveting suspense (who will win the tourney?). I also appreciate the boom mic in the frame over Christopher's left shoulder. Remember, top spot at the box office -- you heard it here (before the fact).

Meanwhile, here's one of the most entertaining points I've ever seen -- it really displays how much skill it takes to play this game at the highest level.

What Part Of 'Sudden Death' Didn't You Understand?

Former ping pong champion works undercover with the FBI to expose a tournament in which the winner lives and the losers die.

The competition is hosted by the evil-guy Fang (played deliciously by Christopher Walken), who, when one of the players is executed after losing a match, says, "What part of 'sudden death' didn't you understand?"

Some well-done CGI makes everyone a table tennis pro capable of making impossible shots without trying. Tight writing and lots of references to Kung-Fu/action pics make BOF a lot of fun. This one will put butts in seats. Mongo funny trailer (not so funny trailer also available)
