Han Solo vs. Indiana Jones: Who would you choose?

With the recent rumors of a possible Han Solo origin movie, it got me thinking what’s my favorite Harrison Ford role, Han Solo or Indiana Jones?  

How can this Fangirl decide?  I can’t base my decision on which one’s better looking. This is Harrison Ford we’re talking about and both characters are easy on the eyes. They both have incredible charisma and charm, who could say no to either of them, especially when they flash that smile and say “Trust Me”.  I think I prefer Indy’s whip to Han’s gun…wait that kind of argument could get me into trouble and it won’t help me decide between the two. 

Looks like I’m back to square one, how can I choose?  When it comes down to it, if I were a damsel in distress, which one would I want to save me, Indy or Han?

Han would face the entire imperial fleet, go into a Carbonite freeze and take on a Death Star to save you all while giving great one-liners that would only make you love him more.  

 

Indy would travel through rat-infested sewers, take on a snake pit and fight the entire Nazi Army to save his treasure.  With that hat and whip he’d look damn fine doing it too. What girl wouldn’t swoon?  

Well, that decides it. I love them both!  I can’t choose between them.  Who could? 

What do you think? Men want to be them and women want to love them, but if you could only choose one, who would it be and why?  Leave your comments below. 

Till next time,

Bullet to the Head - Rated R

 

I’m a child of the 80’s and as a result I love me a good action flick. The kind of movie with lots of shooting, swearing, killing, and no thinking required. Bullet to the Head is just that, a straight forward action movie that has a clear beginning, middle and end with no crazy plot twists in between to muck it up.  

Walter Hill has directed some of the more memorable 80’s movies like 48 Hrs., Southern Comfort and Brewster’s Millions (ok so the last one is not an action film, but I still love it).  Hill can still deliver a good action sequence and I enjoyed his no bullshit approach concerning the plot. It is what it is: an action movie.

 

Sly does a good job with his character Jimmy Bonomo, a tough New Orleans hit man out to avenge his partner’s murder.  I was a bit apprehensive about there being too many old man jokes, but they were kept to a minimum (unlike in Expendables 2) and it never distracted from the story.  Overall, he still looks good for his age, aside from some facial plastic surgery that may have gone wrong. Sly can still kick ass with the best of them.

I thought this was way better than Expendables 2 and if you’re a fan of Sly and have a soft spot for 80’s action then go see this movie.  If nothing else be sure you put it in your Netflix cue so you can rent it when it comes out!
