Rufio, Rufio, Ru Fi Ohh!!! Bangerang!!! Who can ever forget the classic movie released in the 90's called "Hook". It had everything for everybody... Swords for the action lovers, Pirates for the pirate lovers, lost little boysfor... well... M. Jackson! See it had everything. But what made it special was the character of Rufio. The strong willed leader of the lost boys who ended up being the biggest fan of Peter Pan, he was what made that movie great!
Actor Dante Basco has not been given the props he deserves. I have friends who have made fun of him because he always plays different ethnicities aside from Filipino. They all had mean things to say, but I gotta admit... I like him as an actor. From horrible movies like Fakin the Funk, and that God awful PCN wannabe film The Debut, he has shown he is willing to do anything to succeed in his chosen profession. Nowadays he is doing voice over work, Jake in the "Jake Long: The American Dragon" and the Kick Ass show "Avatar: The Last Air Bender" and he is becoming a favorite of mine.
Recently another one of his movies came out... the one with Antonio Banderas. I am actually going to watch it just to see Dante Basco getting his groove on even if the movie involves Ballroom dancing. I wish Dante Basco success in his career. I look forward to seeing whatever else he does. Go Rufio!!!
Speaking of Ballroom dancing... the one with Richard Geere and J'Lo is actually a good movie, check it out.
