"The Big Bang": The 24-Carat B Cast Colossus . . . .

74.227.22.65

Somebody called in all his markers to assemble Antonio Banderas, William Ficther, Thomas Kretchmann, Delroy Lindo, James van der Beek, Snoop Dog, Sam Elliot, and Bill Duke in the same Noir Fantasy SCI-FI detective flick.

Banderas is a sleezy LA gumshoe who is approached one night by a huge Russian fresh out of prison. Seems the Rooskie is looking for this gorgeous stripper who wrote him in prison swearing undying love. Now the big Russian wants to locate this beautiful vision of loveliness.

From here, Banderas narrates his story at the hands of three homicide cops who are interested in solving the multiple murders in Banderas' wake.... or is it the missing $30MM in "conflict diamonds" the Russian had?

We go along a trail from LA to New Mexico and things get tripper and tripper. Then we come down to real story: Good Particle Collider Gone Wild.

Humor, SFX, occasional purty girl, what's not to like?

    liked him in Lebowski, looking forward to this and Super 8. BTW, just finished the Firefly marathon on SCI channel. I believe you recommended that awhile back. Damn good stuff.

      The star is the same guy from Firefly.
      
      Good plots, funny dialogue, hard to believe I anything this much that's
      a product of contemporary American tv.

        never, IMNSHO, been an era that even comes close to the oughts and tens. Not even in the same ballpark.

        I must have taken a nap and missed it.
        
        You prob mean the cable shows, and there have been some good ones.
        But they have gotten too weird for my taste.
        
        Reality TV dominates broadcasting. It's even killing off soap operas.
        
        I'd describe most TV as hideous.
        
        But I do love Castle, and Top Gear.
  - Maybe if he chewed tobacee and used a spitoon - violinist3 01:06:39 06/07/11 (0)
    he could morph onto character.Or maybe include a quip like "When I retire I'm going back to Montana"
