Rampage
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s latest flick has a Chiefs connection.

http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt...208691159.html

Quote:
When Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson learned his character in the movie "Rampage" would have ties to a Nigerian family, he had a request.

Could the character's name be in honor of former Chiefs running back Christian Okoye?

Okoye, whose nickname was the "Nigerian Nightmare," rushed for 4,897 career yards in six seasons, and he is a member of the Chiefs Hall of Fame. Okoye led the league in rushing (1,480 yards) and attempts (370) in 1989, and he made one of his two Pro Bowl appearances that season.

Someone on Twitter noted that Johnson's movie character was named Okoye and was Nigerian.

That's when Johnson spilled the beans about his love for Okoye.

The Rock is actually really good at what he does. Yes, his movies can be ridiculously stupid. Yes, he looks like a plastic action figure come to life. But he always has a believability in his roles. Despite his size, he never seems cartoony like Ahnold used to. There's always an aspect to his roles that doesn't have to do with his size. "Jumanji", he plays it as an awkward kid in a giant body. "Tooth Fairy", it's his connection to kids. "Journey 2", it's his attempts to be a father figure. In this film, it looks like it's his bond with animals. "Witch Mountain", again he's acting with kids and pulling it off. He seems like a very down to earth guy despite his size and fame and that carries over into his roles. Honestly, if you have a free minute, watch "Tooth Fairy". Stupidest damn premise for a film ever, and the guy pulls it off. He never takes himself too seriously. He'll never win an Oscar for Best Actor but he's always entertaining and watchable, which is more than you can say for a lot of serious actors.

He has occasionally taken on smaller scale/non action roles that he wasnt bad in.

Southland Tales, Be Cool, Pain and Gain for instance.....

Rampage franchise has a new game out to go with the movie. You can find these at Dave & Busters, I guess. If anyone spots one in the KC area, please post the location here.

$284 million so far. Looks to be slowing down. Ready Player One is topping $522 million.

l would think that Infinity Wars will take the bulk of the movie $’s for the next two weeks.

I really enjoyed this movie with my seven-year old son this past weekend. Only thing that bothered me was, as a Walking Dead fan, seeing Jeffrey Dean Morgan basically be Negan in a suit was a bit tiresome. Outside of that, good movie!

The Rock just has a certain charisma. He's likable in whatever role he is in. It's a hard quality to find in actors to be honest, but when you do, you can print money with them until it wears off or wears thin. Chris Pratt is another guy like that to me, just a relatable likable guy.

Looks stupid...just like every other movie based off of a video game.

Video games don't translate well to the silver screen IMO. Hell Rock even did Doom, and it was one of the worst movies of all time.

Pfffft, speak for yourself. Doom is a guilty pleasure that I'll sit down and watch if I run across it. It's no Blade Runner, but it's fun.
