MOVIE REVIEW: Quicksilver. Let’s count the racks!
I got so many nice letters about my movie review, that I’ve decided to do it again! Ha-ha! This time, instead of going to the video store, I decided to watch a movie on the line, from the Netflix, on the computer. My wife showed me how to do it, well, actually, she did it for me. The computer part. I just watched it. It was called “Quicksilver” with Kevin Bacon, and it featured a whole bunch of bikes, and frustratingly, not a lot of bike racks, which is crazy because it took place on the fast streets of New York! Kevin plays a guy from way out of town, who gets a job with his rich uncle who owns a giant skyscraper business. The uncle has pity on him, and gives him a job as a bicycle courier. Kevin schemes to get to the top of the company by pretending to be a guy who got fired, and he does that guy’s job out of his vacant office, while still doing his bicycle courier job. Then the Uncle’s new wife starts hitting on Kevin, which is weird, but Kevin is in love with the Uncle’s mistress who is charge of Domestic Shipping. Then he discovers a secret that could get them all killed, and races around the streets of Little Italy and Hell’s Kitchen to stop the Russian Mob from killing the mistress, who he loves. It ends with a huge duel between Kevin’s bicycle and the mobster’s van. The aunt turns out to be an undercover FBI agent, and they stop the mob, and arrest the Uncle, who was bad, in a huge sting. The sting was called “Operation Quicksilver”. Kevin marries the mistress, and takes over the company. Man, it was some movie. But dude, NO BIKE RACKS.
So I guess I give “Quicksilver” no stars, because it had no bike racks. Sorry, Kevin. Maybe “Taking Chance” has more racks. I don’t know, because I only have Showtime. And now it’s time to show you something cool!
Look at that beauty! I know! After and hour and a half of watching a movie with NO bike racks, it was cool to get back to Stacks and Stacks to look at their wide selection of racks for bikes! This one is awesome, it’s a Free Standing 4-Bike Rack, which they sure could have used in the movie with the four main characters of Kevin, the Uncle, the Mistress, and the Aunt who was an FBI agent! The Free Standing 4-Bike Rack is a totally high quality, built-to-last bicycle storage rack that can accommodate a ton of different styles of bikes! And it’s perfect for families and people who collect multiple bikes (of different kinds). It’s got a rad durable powder coated steel frame with a ton of epoxy coating for maximum protection against the rough garage environment, or wherever it ends up (if Kevin had it, it would be New York City). The bicycle rack is easy to assemble, with no tools required, so it’s perfect for the average user! Which isn’t me, might be you, and certainly isn’t anywhere to be found in “Quicksilver”! Ha-ha! Good luck!
