Alright, so I saw Electra because, let's face it, Jennifer Garner is friggin hot, especially as a ninja. The incredible thing is that she is so ill-suited for the role that it's very nearly humorous. She's not a particularily tough chick, or sassy, and she swears like she was only just recently taught these words. They stand completely on their own. "Take the secret passageway," says Useless Friend. "But... what about you?" she asks, and then, presumably realzing that Useless Friend is sacrificing his useless yet lovable life for their safe escape, she lets out a completely adorable, barely audible "shit". Later, or perhaps earlier, I forget, when she realizes exactly what she's up against, she looks out over a large area of water in deep contemplation, and wraps the moment up with a somewhat awkward "goddamn".

Now that everything is over, and I have time to reflect on the plot, I find myself realizing that there was almost no plot. During the movie, though, there's no time to think about that, with kicks and punches and spinning slashy ninja moves wherewithal, and jennifer right in the middle of it, doing her ninja thing.

In conclusion, watch this movie. In Memory of Petey
