The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Pretty good adaptation really. Cut out all the unnecessary stuff from the book so the storyline was easy to follow. Compares well to the Swedish version, which I wasn't so happy with because I didn't think they were true to Lisbeth's character. The only bit I didn't like in this version was the opening credit sequence, it just didn't suit the film at all. I thought I was about the watch a Bond movie.

It seems Indonesia is the new Hong Kong. This film looks insane...
That does look awesome.
Have a look at this list and see how many you have seen. Drunken master is so awesome. Im surprised Rumble in the Bronx didnt make it though.
Asian Cinema's 20 Greatest Fight Scenes - Movies Feature at IGN
My mum always used to say, when life hands you lemons "kill mob within spell duration with a soul gem of adequate quality for the mob's level to trap its soul"

Seen 19 of the 20. The hammer fight in Old Boy is great. Plenty of other fight scenes that rock. I love watching Sammo Hung bust a move, so agile for a fat stumpy dude. I prefer the HK films involving gun play or ballistic ballet (now extended to the rest of the world - so I can include stuff like Equilibrium. John Woo was always a master of gun play, The Killer, Hard Boiled etc. Love it.

After watching the silly romp that is Mystery Men, with all and sundry over-acting and having a pretty good time....I am reminded that William H. Macy is just awesome in everything he does.
^ Always loved Samo, for exactly the same reason (and wasn't he in some short-lived series with Cynthia Rothrock?) . It is why I am also a tragic Jackie Chan fan, skills coupled with self-deprecating humour seems a rarity these days.

My friend reviews films and thoroughly recommends The Raid - apparently there's a preview screening:

I'll be patient as there are SO many films I want to see and never enough time!

Sammo Hung was in a great series called "Martial Law" before the other retarded show came out with the same name.

Watched Evil Dead II last night: fuck me, the screen writer must have been tripping, out of his gourd kinda tripping, when he wrote that.![]()

Must say, the movie turned out to be nothing like I had expected. It's probably one for the movie enthusiasts out there, and having read an interview with Scorsese in the Big Issue recently, I understand that this is a movie quite close to his heart. It's more a homage to early cinema. I liked it, but it's probably not for everyone.

Went and seen Safe House on the weekend.
Good film... Vintage Denzel.
I bought "The Road" on DVD last week & watched it yesterday, pretty intense & harrowing stuff & I can see myself not watching it again, but for all the right reasons. Based on a book by the author of "No country for old men".

fucking Lucas, leave it alone.

Chronicle was pretty damn good. I struggle with "handycam" concept, cause shakey cam shits me, and in the end they pulled so many tricks to get around it that it almost got in the way of a good "superpower" film well told. It certainly is way better than the trailers suggest... for a change.
