Forget tagging. Screw thrashing, spinning, breaking . . . all those other urban things you could be doing with your time. As far as I'm concerned, it's all about the parkour. While we're at it, screw CGI. I forgot until I saw Live Free or Die HARD a couple weeks ago, but real stunts are about a million times better than computer-generated effects. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing a lot of really good either parkour or real stunts movies coming out right. Here's a good one, though: District B13 (Banlieue 13). It stars Cyril Raffaelli, one of the villains from Live Free or Die Hard, as police captain Damien Tomaso, who . . . you don't really need to know the plot, right? It looks cool and it makes only a little bit of sense (thanks, Luc Besson).
