Bitch Slap: What are you, kidding? (Answer: Yes.)

So a bunch of Bob Tapert's old Xena: Warrior Princess and new Spartacus: Blood and Sand people get together and say, "What the hell, we've got a few weeks to kill, what say we make a really over-the-top girl fight movie?"  And one dude in particular, he says, "Ooh, and I have the perfect name for it: Bitch Slap."

You have to say one thing for this title: it's absolutely truth in advertising.  There's really nothing at all to this movie except a murky yet tissue-thin plot that gives three absolutely stunning women all the excuse they need to beat the living hell out of each other, in between scenes of going rilly rilly, like nuts, you know? and move scenes of girls kissing girls.  This is a 16-year-old punk boy's wet dream, filled with 'splosions and fistfights and BFG's (that's Big Effin Guns to the uninitiated), and one thing's for certain: you won't be bored.  Puzzled and titillated, yes, but never bored.

Some of these folks will be visible, presumably in just as little clothing, in the new Spartacus: Blood and Sand on the Starz cable network.  It even has more of Lucy Lawless than just one teeny little cameo, to which we can only say yay, with a little bit of it's about time.
