Colombiana

Can’t believe I have to wait a whole summer to watch this.

Can I also just say that I love Michael Vartan to the Nth degree (ALIAS 4EVA!!!!) and can’t wait to see him do an action movie? I still live in an alternate universe where Jennifer Garner did not marry Ben Affleck and is still dating Michael Vartan. Sigh.
