Rise To Stardom

Chapter 74: Those Eyes, Chico

Chapter 74: Those Eyes, Chico

Kevin was an action-movie junkie.

At the same time, he was a part-time college student, part-time movie reviewer.

Always checking out ViewTube for the latest action movie trailers so he could plan out and budget his money on which to watch at a cinema and which to wait for to land onto various OTT platforms, Kevin was doing the same again today.

In recent memory though, he hadn't found action movie that really got his blood pumping like a few others had done in the past.

Sighing, he scrolled through his feed which had been tailored to mostly show the latest action movie trailers.

"Hope I find something worthwhile today at least…" he muttered to himself with a jaded expression.

Considering he spent so much time watching so many action movie genres, he had gotten tired of spotting the limitations and laziness of most of the more recent action movies.

Too many obvious use of green screens, lesser practical effects, shaky cams during choreographed fight scenes (a particular disdain he had because it made the action scenes seem cheap and lazy) and, most of all, stunt doubles which were used extensively instead of the actors themselves.

At times, Kevin would just go on an annoyed rant to his friends about how most 'action' movie stars these days were just deluding themselves since most never did their stunts, save for a select few.
