It's always amazing what movies stick with you and why. I watched "My Bodyguard" when I was 10 years old and I don't think I saw it again in the ensuing 30 years, until now. And yet this film has stayed with me and I've thought about it often. It might not surprise you to learn that I was bullied when I was in school. (What? A geeky film critic bullied?) I'm not proud to say that I stopped taking the bus and began riding my bike to junior high school to avoid a particularly nasty cretin who liked to sit behind people and flick earlobes with a force that seemed not possible for 14-year-old fingers.
