At one point I thought they movie would go extra bleak and have the "hero" be partly responsible for getting a whole plane load of people killed but instead they just had a wounded prisoner get tortured for information.  Also while I do enjoy Grampa Badass Chan stalking and commando style harassing Brosnan, the earlier bits where he just staggers ( Read more... )

Ip Man, Ip Man 2 & Ip Man 3: The bit I like best about Donnie Yen is how he spends 90% of the time being the chillest dude who knows he could kick a dude's skull off but doesn't need to show it.  Until the bad guys murder one of his friends or threaten his kid or something and then he just starts destroying people.  Also the 3rd movie has Mike ( Read more... )

Danny Rand is an idiot.  I mean, yeah Finn Jones is just not that good an actor and is more than a bit of a charisma suck.  But even allowing that, Danny Rand is a big dummy.  Not that the rest of the writing is all that clever.  I do still like the various ladies (plus Ward.  Ward is pretty good); Colleen, Joy, Claire (as always), Madame Gao ( Read more... )

So I'm not sure if the dialogue for this is actually this bad or if its just a crazy, terrible dubbed translation. Anyways, the story of kung fu vampire hunters, emo space vampire princes and manic pixie girls. Plus Jackie Chan has a cameo as an emt who gets in a fight with some of the vampires. Just 'cause...

Baby Po is crazy adorable. I know there was other good stuff in the movie. Big kung fu fights, evil birds, apparantly Jean Claude Van Damme. But seriously, soot covered sad baby panda? So much daaaaaw....

Even with me only understanding one word in twenty, Jackie Chan's early Drunken Master kung fu is still muy muy excellente...

An excellent remake of the original. Its always good to see Jackie Chan show some depth and acting chops. And Jaden Smith looks like he's gonna be huge, showing much of the charisma and on-screen presence of his dad...

Its good to see that even when Stephen Chow is making a cute kids movie where he is poor but proud widower struggling to send his son to private school and still instill strong moral values in him and then he finds a strange ball in the dump and it turns into a magical alien dog toy..*breath*..that he can still manage to squeeze in a couple of ( Read more... )
