I dont care what this is rated! I am seeing it because Michelle is in it


Michelle Rodriguez is my favorite actress and I have seen all her movies except for 3A.M and Resident Evil... I am totally seeing this! It also sounds like a good movie....

3 A.M. is probably her best movie to date, as well as Girlfight, of course.
I enjoyed Resident Evil immensely, but it's a guilty pleasure.

As much as I try to resist, I can't help but diggin' Michelle Rodriguez. What is it about her that's just so cool?

reply

You can´t say what aboute her that´s so cool, cus it´s everything! And she is, whatever people say, a really great actor! I would like to se anyone play for an exemple her role diana in girlfight or rain her role in resident evil better! But no one does it better then Michelle!

You will soon se ME on the screen!

Nothing against Michelle, but I haven't seen her in any role that would make me gush over her. She may be a great actress, but she still needs that one role to get people to appreciate her, like me. Hope fully this will be the role.

I like that she acts manly. It's a nice departure from the Hollywood sex objects. Hurray for Michelle for showing that girls don't have to be "sexy" and "feminine."

reply

What I like about Michelle is the attitude in all her character roles. "...girls don't have to be "sexy" and "feminine"" (PessimisticGrace) I totally agree with ya. This bad-ass, don't-mess-with-me thing is how I can relate.
I haven't seen all her movies yet, but Rain in 'Resident Evil' was well done.

reply

Just curious whether you're equally delighted when men show that they don't have to be masculine and strong? Is it the confounding of gender roles that delights you?

reply

The role you are looking for is Tropico de Sangre http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1691016/?ref_=nv_sr_1
While it is in Spanish it is still so good her acting can still be appreciated even if you don't understand what is being said. There are subtitles.

reply

No offense, but I didn't see a damn thing in Resident Evil that was well done...

you might find it in Control. in the movie she plays Liotta's love interest and there's really not anything tomboyish about her except that she works at a car place (and even that's not that tomboyish). the sad thing is that they didn't elaborate more on her role and gave her about forty five minutes (or less) of screen time. i would've liked to see her and Liotta get into a deeper relationship (not necessarily screwing each other cause Michelle wouldn't do that if you paid her but still it would've been nice)

reply

She in my favorite actress too, and i am waiting for this movie (Control) and in Resident Evil, her character was very cool.

reply

i love ray litoa but i really must say the only reason i am gonna buy this movie, not rent is cause michelle is an awsome actress. i've seen all of her movies and own all but blue crush and 3 am. i saw it in blockbuster adn was like i'll buy this later. i'm kinda upset that michelle wasn't the lead in resident evil so she coudln't have died and been in the second one.

reply

Uh..Lots to say here. I really liked Michelle in this movie. She sure is cute, but I just really liked the character she portrayed. I liked that she was tough, but made herself vulnerable when she said that at one time she was a speed-freak, and was willing to risk getting hurt by trusting someone again. I'm still smitten!

I originally bought the dvd because I'm a huge fan of Defoe and Liota, and the plot summary sounded cool. Looked good to me.But I liked her role so much that now I'm a fan(of hers).

I also liked her in R.E.,but she was better off dead than to be in that god-awful sequel R.E.:Apocalypse-bec ause no actor could have made that movie watchable!!!

But the real reason I like "M.R." is because my co-worker looks like her, and has a personality like the role "M.R." played in this film.

...But she is fine.

reply

I really have to disagree with you guys, no offense, I hate Michelle Rodgriguez, she plays the same character every time: a cocky, arrogant, ethnic woman with attitude...at least each of these qualities is present in every movie that I have seen of hers so far (I haven't seen them all but I've seen enough)....I really don't like that "attitude" she has about her....and then I saw her on Punk'd and predictably she ended up being cowardly, shameless, unaccepting of responsibility, etc.....No Offense to any of you guys, but every time I see a movie with her, I feel strongly about her being a horrible actress and probably a bad person...just my opinion

As far as her being fine....lol...I again, strongly disagree with that...especially when she doesn't have her make up on

reply

No doubt, Michelle Rodgriguez is always playing these "Im tough". Its really *beep* annoying~

"Zombies man...They creep me out!"
