The Green Bee

I recently watched The Green Hornet with my family. Let's just say it isn't all that family friendly. It isn't that surprising having Seth Rogen, the guy who started in such things like Freaks and Geeks, Knocked Up, etc. (mostly being a pot head in everything he does), playing the Green Hornet. He was really rather crass and an ass. No wonder Cameron Diaz character didn't want to have anything to do with him. I really did like his "side-kick" though. He was pretty much the BAMF of the film. I think this is a bit more of a grown up hero film since it did have some interesting stunts, fights, and you can't go wrong with a movie that has guest appearances by James Franco and Edward Furlong.


The story basically follows these two guys who originally go out to raise trouble by chopping the head off the statue of their father and former boss. They end up stopping some crime that is going on in the same area and they get a taste for being the good guys. Kato the car guy, played by Jay Chou, kicks butt. He invents some of the coolest things - including the car the Green Hornet drives around in - and he's the one with all the cool moves. They continue on their path of good while pretending to be bad guys - they can only do this by following the information the secretary, Lenore (Cameron Diaz), comes up with. She studied criminology so she knows a little more about crime than Kato and Britt (the Green Hornet) do combined. They travel down the road of fake crime and end up confronting some of the biggest crime lords of the city along with some of their own bad habits.
