Forbidden no more



Bob Marley was shocked to find he had a Chinese brutha from anutha mutha


I finally watched the Forbidden Kingdom and it was AWESOME! It was like an 80's teen movie mixed with this wonderful Crouching Tiger type fairy tale and something like Drunken Master. I haven't seen anything like it in ages and am happy to have stayed up until 1am on a work night to watch it! Please see this film if you enjoy martial arts films. It also pairs Jet Li and Jackie Chan for the first time together on screen and the battle is worth the watch!

It also has that adorable kid from Sky High in it...not for little kids but great for 10+ (with some violence, little or no blood). 3.5/5!!!

(ps I tried to fit more exclamation marks into this post but blogger has an exclamation mark limit...it's true)

The Forbidden Kingdom!


Jet Li Brand of Yoga on DVD now


The trailer is finally out! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww!!!
I've been waiting for this since way back HERE.



If you aren't shaking with joy after watching that, there's something seriously wrong inside you...as in, see someone, talk and/or hug it out. Seriously.

Movie Minute: Sept 24

I love my little pet!


I don't know why, but I had to post something about this...

Every once in a while I just spend an hour or so trawling the movie sites like some crack addict. Occasionally I will find something that gets me excited. Many of these are destined to be guilty pleasures that people will ridicule me about.

This flick is one of those, but this is me not caring!

The Forbidden Kingdom stars Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Michael Angarano (the kid from Sky High which was also excellent). It's currently in post-production and is set to come out mid next year.

So if I haven't grabbed you with the fact that Jet Li AND Jackie Chan are in the movie together, check out the plot description from IMDB.COM: "A discovery made by a kung fu obsessed American teen sends him on an adventure to China, where he joins up with a band of martial arts warriors in order to free the imprisoned Monkey King".

Ebony and Ivory...lived in perfect harmony...

I have no idea why but I just got incredibly excited! Lady wood even! I'll keep you all updated on this as I hear more. Right now I'm really wishing I had a trailer....

No doubt this will be the corniest movie ever made...and I'm still excited!
