Unleashed

Jet Li's latest movie is very violent. Lots of fighting - and it's brutal fighting, not the efficient, controlled and elegant fighting style we saw in some of his kung fu movies. He was trained from the time he was a kid to be a dog - when he wears his collar, he is quiet and passive. When the collar comes off, he goes berserk and kills everyone. Some excellent hand-to-hand combat scenes. Very simple story line. Not for little kids.

1. The Avator

It is not as good as they say it is, in fact it is quite bad.

2. Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith

Simply awsome.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

I saw this movie last night. Not bad, it was quite an entertaining movie with many funny bits. This is not a serious action movie, it's more like a comedy, and there's quite a bit of silliness. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are in it. They are married, but unknown to each other, they are professional assasins working for different secret agencies. Problems arise when they are both given the same assignment and they find out each other's secret. Anyway, an OK movie. I am not a fan of either Pitt or Jolie but this movie was not bad.

By the way, I never understood why many guys like Angelina Jolie so much. I don't find her attractive at all... One of the girls we went with said, "Brad Pitt is so handsome!". Too bad I don't look anything like him and never will.

Kingdom of Heaven

A fairly good movie, in my opinion. Though I am sure someone more knowledgeable about the crusades could point out several historical inaccuracies. It takes a while for the action to get started...in fact the first hour or so was quite slow. But after that (the other hour and a half) was pretty good.

For those of you who don't know, it's a movie set in the 12th century, I think the specific date was 1184 at the start of the movie. Basically a movie about the crusades, and they manage to weave in a lot about the hypocracy of Christians and Muslims, and the blind reverence towards a city (Jerusalem) that both faiths hold as sacred. Anyways, it was fairly entertaining.

The Big Lebowski

Just saw it on TV yesterday. They cut the crap out of it to edit for language and nudity... and it was still a scream!! I'm going to go out and rent it next weekend to see the "unadulterated" version.

Revenge of the Sith

I was truly blown away by this movie. After the bad taste left in my mouth by the previous two, I did not expect to see a film with this much serious business going on. Kudos to Lucas for finally putting substance before gimick. I was "very moved" at several points in the movie. Go see it.

I'm behind the times as usual (too much sleeping I guess)

The Village

I watched The Village for the first time last weekend. Thought it was very entertaining - much better than mixed reviews it's recieved. Worth renting at least.

I just came back from seeing 'War of the Worlds'. It was quite well done and is worth seeing...

COol, thanks, I will go see it tonight...

I have to say that I have my reservations though your comment has helped to improve my curiosity.

I also saw Batman Begins last weekend. It was good enough to reset the batman series and launch a new and improved one.
