Born to Fight

I inexplicably felt compelled to share the trailer from Born To Fight, a movie about a group of Thai athletes who foil an evil terrorist plot to take over a rural village by using their sports skills. There is lots of face kicking!

Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man is still hot.
That is all.

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for the existence of the movie The Expendables. How awesome is this?! That is something to look forward to in 2010.

On Thanksgiving I am thankful for Transporter 3, which featured:
Shirtless Jason Statham punching people.
Shirtless Jason Statham waking up with a bomb on his wrist
Shirt-fu, an ancient martial art which requires one to fight while ripping off one’s shirt in order to use it to subdue one’s opponents.



The Incredible Hulk

This movie was better than I expected, even though it didn’t reach the heights of comic book movie awesomeness that was Iron Man. There were plenty of jokey cameos and CGI Hulk looked very shiny. I was hoping for some slightly more innovative action sequences since Louis Leterrier worked on both Transporter movies. Still it [...]



Iron Man

Iron Man was really the perfect beginning to the summer movie season. I saw it Saturday and Sunday. It has been a long long time since a movie truly showcased Robert Downey Jr’s hotness. And he’s quite hot in Iron Man. It feels like something that was horribly wrong with the world has been restored. [...]



Where’s the Noose?

So I saw Control, and I have to admit during the last 15 minutes of the movie I was counting down until the appearance of the noose.



Sundance Movie – Bugmaster

One of the few Sundance movies my husband was able to get tickets to was Katsuhiro Otomo’s Mushishi or Bugmaster. First of all, I don’t think I was in the right frame of mind to appreciate the movie, because I was tired and watching it late at night. The circular and meandering plot centers around [...]



September is the time of great action movies

I’m looking forward to September, which oddly enough has two action movies coming out that I’m really looking forward to. The first is Crank, because I am a big fan of the cinematic oeuvre of Jason Statham. I adore the Transporter movies, so there is no way that I’m not going to be there opening [...]
