Re: Movies - what you seen and was it any good?

Saw the trailer yesterday and it looked kinda lame. I'm sure technically it'll be wonderful, but two robots in love??

Probably win 7 Oscars....

See. A nice movie that works as allegory for the evil manipulation carried out on the general populace by multinational profit centred concerns. Bit like banks eh

Kiss of the Dragon (2001)
Jet Li

A betrayed intelligence officer enlists the aid of a prostitute to prove his innocence from a deadly conspiracy while returning a favor to her.

5/10. A rare sortie into this genre for me. I'm not a great martial arts movie fan but I think Jet Li's got quite a nice movie star charisma and yet wouldn't tell you to f*** off if you approached him for an autograph. Plenty of martial arts moves as Jet takes on a whole world of assorted wooden actors and extras. I always think martial arts movies appeal to a certain kind of person. Oh.......I wonder how Barry George will survive now he's on the outside.

Re: Movies - what you seen and was it any good?

^ Ever see 'Unleashed' with Jet Li in it Phil ? It's a bit schizopherenic - part London gangster movie (It's got Bob Hoskins in it and its set in London and has that 'English movie feel' to it - grey skies and rain, etc), part kung fu movie (Jet Li beats up bad guys), with a dollop of artistic preteniousness (Morgan Freeman as a blind pinao tuner who teaches Jet how to get in touch with himself and his emotions through the power of music, plus a soundtrack by Massive Attack), plus a cute kid.

It's not exactly Casablanca, in fact I can't quite decide if I like it or not, but its worth a watch.

Re: Movies - what you seen and was it any good?

^ I tend to dip into a martial arts movie about once every three years, so I'll keep that one in mind for 2011. I think if you watch too many, they get into your blood and before I knew it, I'd be jumping off the sofa and performing a 360 degree roundhouse on the missis as she comes in from work.

Generally though, a five-minute stroll down Hong Kong's Avenue of Stars is about as enthusiastic as I get where martial arts are concerned.
