A good sword-fighting action movie set in ancient China, in a similar style to movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Iron Monkey. Jet Li is an expert swordsman, with superhuman speed and accuracy. Some great gravity-defying fight scenes. Donnie Yen and Zhang Ziyi are in it too.

This movie is not out in theaters here in Canada yet. I watched the Chinese DVD with English subtitles.

It must have run already in the theatres there.
It was ages ago that I saw it here on the cinema (in Sweden).
It's a really good movie in my opinion aswell.

Went and saw AVP and Collateral recently. I already posted my comments on AVP on another thread, so I'll just post my thoughts on Collateral. Damn good movie. I highly recommend it, especially for those who like psychological thrillers and cat & mouse movies. Unfortunately, since it's released in the summer, I don't think Tom Cruise will get the Oscar nomination he deserves for his role as a hitman. He was damn good, but I don't think he'll get a mention. Now, if the movie had been released in November or December, that might be a different story. Go check it out.

I just saw Garden State. Maybe it's just the fact I can identify with moving from the East Coast USA to Los Angeles, then coming back to the town I grew up in later... but I loved the movie. It manages to be funny and serious at the same time, great dialogue, excellent soundtrack. It was a limited release to begin with, and it's been out for a while, so it's probably not playing in most places for a while, but I would recommend seeing it when it comes out on DVD, video, whatever.

Oh, and BUMP.

I have seen Poparazi (sp)

Its not a great movie, but it is worth a DVD rental. I like how it subtly implies the turth that it was the Poparazi who caused the death of the Princes, but other wise it was just a political statement against the Poparazi and the tactics they use.

I agree, there should be limits and laws.

I watched Cold Mountain, Hell Boy, The Last Samurai, and Get Shorty this weekend. All good movies that I'd rate 3 stars out of 4.

Well, thanks to Hurricane Frances, my Labor Day weekend plans got screwed up. Haven't seen anything since AVP. If I survive Ivan, I plan on seeing Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Looks pretty good.

I haven't seen any recent films for ages.

The Only films I've seen in recent months are "Carlitos Way" which is pretty old but fantastic, "K-Pax" which is just intriguing and well done and then "From Hell" which was very intresting.

I really want to see "The Bourne Supremacy" as well, Hopefully i'll see it tomorrow
