Premiere - JCVD

"The Muscles from Brussels" has returned. If you hear the name Jean-Claude Van Varenberg maybe it rings some bells, but for sure you know him by his trademark name: Van Damme :)

J.C.V.D. is Van Damme's latest movie and believe me when I say it's different! eheh The martial arts action star had his glorious days back in the 80's and 90', where he fought everything and everyone! eheh
But now, in 2008, he returns as... himself. That's right. He plays as a "normal" Jean-Claude, who arrives in Brussels only to find himself in a very unusual situation: a post office robbery hostage, where one of the bad guys is his fan! eheh

J.C.V.D. premiere was held in Paris this week, in the presence of Van Damme, the director Mabrouk El Mechri and the "three bad guys". And don't you think he isn't famous anymore, because the movie theater was crowded.

Well, I also used to be his fan, before he started to go downhill with his career, and choosing bad movies to star, having weird interviews (the famous "1 + 1 = 1"), etc.

After Sylvester "Rocky" Stallone and Harry "Indiana" Ford, now is Van Damme who returns as an "old" and aged hero who accepts his condition and lives with it. ;)

The final result is a fun and entertaining movie, with a good script, which I recommend to all Van Damme fans. Don't count on action, but prepare yourselves to see a new and different Jean-Claude! ;)

I'm aware...
