OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

[Kamog]

The Medallion

It was pretty good. I try to see every Jackie Chan movie that comes out, and this one was better than the Tuxedo. But Shanghai Knights was better than this one.

*** Warning: Spoilers ***
This movie was unusual for a Jackie Chan movie in that it had supernatural stuff in it. The ancient magic medallion has the power to bring dead people back to life and make them immortal. Jackie's character is a Hong Kong police officer, and he drowns when the bad guys trap him in a shipping container and drop him in the ocean. But he is brought back to life by the medallion, and now he can jump really high, survive big falls, run really fast, get shot and still be OK, and so on. Well, the bad guy knows about the magic medallion, and he gets half of it, and gets the same powers, and of course they have to have a big fight in the end. Like all Jackie Chan movies, this one is not a serious movie. There's all sorts of rather silly stuff in there. Some of it's not very funny - like his incompetent partner - but there are lots of other stuff that is. Some nice fights, but they aren't as long or complex as they used to be in his older movies.

Has anybody seen Shaolin Soccer? I have no idea what it's about; I just saw the poster of the two kung-fu type people kicking a soccer ball. Is this movie any good?
