Waist Deep...no pun here.

At the behest of my visiting brother-in-law, I went to go see "Waist Deep" at the Arclight this Saturday.

Right off the bat, let me just tell you the best part of the movie without giving too much away: Getting to see Kimora Lee Simmons tied up and gagged is pretty much the high point.

The Game played the arch-villain, an angry menacing gangster with a fucked-up eye and a tendency to slice off his victims' body parts with his machete. Partway through the movie, I remembered his appearance on the dating show, Change of Heart, when his girlfriend left him holding his "Stay Together" sign, while she opted for a "Change of heart."

I leaned over to tell my sister, to which she replied, "Well, maybe that's why he's so angry now."

Good point, Heidi. I like to imagine that's part of his backstory. Maybe he cried so much from the break-up that it fucked up one of his eyes. That would piss me off too.

So, here are the things I learned from the movie:

1) All one really needs to pull off a successful bank robbery is hooker shoes, a push-up bra and a multitude of wigs and weaves. And, Heidi added, lots and lots of lip gloss.

2) Mexico is a less dangerous place to live than Los Angeles.

3) Tyrese must have gained some weight because I can't figure out why he never took off his shirt. I guess he's fully graduated from video-ho to serious actor.
