OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

I just came home from watching ELEKTRA.

*** WARNING SPOILERS ***
Pretty good action movie - a lot better than Dare Devil was. Jennifer Garner is very pretty and fights well, too! Some interesting villains with supernatural powers, though they turn out to be not so tough as they first initially seem. Elektra died at the end of the movie Dare Devil, but it turns out that her blind martial arts master, Stick, used his magic powers to bring her back to life. Besides teaching her fighting skills, he also taught her a meditation technique to see the future, which she uses a lot to locate enemies and anticipate attacks. Some short but good fight scenes. The best thing about this movie the beautiful main character.

The Aviator

My friend tricked me into going to see this movie with him. I usually don't go see movies with Leonardo diCaprio in them, but this time I knew nothing about this movie until it was too late and I so I didn't know he was in it.

Some parts of the movie were boring, but some parts were pretty good, like the flying scenes. Leonardo wasn't as bad as I expected and he was OK for the most part. He's very good at doing those scenes with the obsessive and strange behaviors. The movie ended kind of unexpectedly and suddenly at a point where it seemed like there was going to be more.

Ong-bak: The Thai Warrior

I saw this movie today. Wow! If you like martial arts movies, DEFINITELY go see this movie. I would say this movie is one of the top ten martial arts movies I have ever seen. Tony Jaa is Ting, the hero of the movie, the Muay Thai fighter, and he is GOOD. Excellent fight scenes. He is incredibly skilled: fast, acrobatic, powerful. Very very impressive. I'm sure Jaa will go on to make many more successful martial arts movies.

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.

King Arthur

I saw this movie in theatre's last summer, but just rented it again tonight to watch at home. I liked it a lot, in fact it was very well done in my opinion.

About WotW, cool movie but nothing really new... in fact, i found the original movie better... even without special effects it gave a more cool atmosphere...
