In honor of his birthday, this past week...

...I am once again nominating this guy to run for President. He has the experience, the attitude, and the intestinal fortitude to keep America strong.

WHOOOOOOOOOOO!
On to today's Comic Book Movie:
#6--The Punisher (2004)
I love a revenge movie and this definitely is one. It follows the general outline of the comics with Frank Castle seeking revenge on the mobsters who kill his family, but with nice updates for the 21st century. Thomas Jane works really well as Castle. John Travolta is good as Howard Saint, the mobster-in-question and watch out for a Kevin Nash appearances as "The Russian". Highlights include Castle's fight scene with the Russian and his popsicle torture of Mickey Duka. As I said, if you like revenge, you need to see this movie.
Memorable Quotes:
Candelaria: Vaya con Dios, Castle. Go with God.
Frank Castle: God's going to sit this one out.
Frank Castle: I leave this as a declaration of intent - so no one will be confused. Frank Castle: 1. "Sic vis pacem parabellum." Latin. Boot Camp Sergeant made us recite it like a prayer. "Sic vis pacem parabellum - If you want peace, prepare for war."
Frank Castle: 2. Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family.
Frank Castle: 3. In certain, extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue - natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment.
