-Kelly Hu in The Tournament. 8.5/10

This is a Good ACTION MOVIE.
Kelly Hu is a main character and she does a great job and she looks delicious, I mean, who said that?

There was a Particular fight with scott Adkins in a church that was lit up correctly and pretty good for american action. (Of course, compare to HK, I could tear it up but i will keep it to praise today :D) hehe

You should see this film.

- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Old film but Flagday recommended) 7.5/10 (though I started watching it at 230AM and i was dead tired)

...quite strange but FLAWLESS ACTING!

Jack Nicholson was always the joker before he even played it hehe.

Every Single person, flawless in very challenging roles. I applaud that.

Can someone explain the movie to me though?!

Up and coming films

- The 14 Blades Starring Donnie Yen (Feb 2010)

Not what I expected the next movie from Donnie to be but I wouldn't miss watching any of his work. (why? cuz IRON MONKEY was the film that inspired me to do martial arts).

He is the ONLY person RIGHT NOW pushing the envelope on the film-fighting genre

But doesn't it seem strange to you for him to come back to this style after SPL, Dragon Tiger, and Flashpoint?

- Jackie Chan - The Spy Next Door
Movie seems predictable and we're not going to expect much martial arts but I love it that Jackie Chan is still around and inspiring generation after generation with just his personality and outlook on comedy and non-violence. Definitely something I can watch with my nieces though Kindergarten Cop, Pacifier, and many others have done the same type of story.

If you haven't yet visited, go check it because his vision is quite extraordinary. Particularly Least Likely, I messaged to him that a whole film should be in that style.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was filmed in the city I live in ~ rumor going around that the Oregon State Hospital (filming location) is going to be torn down ~ it's really a crying shame cause of the history of the place :(

This follows the removal of Bush Elementary School (oldest stone-built school in the city) to allow expansion of Salem Hospital property :(

Bet you didn't know that One Flew Over the Cookoo's nest was/is Clark Kent's favorite book hehe. I've yet to see it though. I still need to watch the rest of Mark's demo reel keeps freezing up on me.

I'll definately check out The Tournament, It sounds really good! It was straight to dvd so you wouldn't expect it to be good, but Wrong Turn 2 was straight to video too and it was Awesome!

One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest is a great Film. I watched it again just a few months ago since I own it on Dvd!

14 Blades should be good but I'm still waiting to see Ip Man.

Hopefully The Spy Next Door is funny since its got George Lopez in it.

Enjoyed Cuckoo's Nest. Saw it for h.s. English or something. Jack's character really shakes up the sanitarium and kinda gives back to the patients their lives. Unfortunately his behavior proved to be too lively, erratic and unpredictable for the 'safety' of the other patients (and for Nurse Ratchet) which made him the ideal candidate for a lobotomy. Indian man snuffs lobotomized Jack bc he felt sorry for him.

As much as not being completely proud of the roles JC has chosen to taken, I gotta give him credit for staying in the limelight (and sucking in his "pride") and giving exposure to the Chinese/Asians in Hollywood films. Represent.

Thoughts? Me thinks you have some time to catch up on your mooovaaaas! =D

Now that you've seen Cuckoo's Nest, check out Jack in The Shining! Do it on Halloween for the "socially acceptable girly screams from you" card... ;-P

The tournament looks good, someone blogged about it a while back when making it, can't remember who.

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, a classic that I barely remember, shows how long ago I saw it.

I watched the trailer for The Tournament and it threw me cause Kelly Hu was speaking with an accent. Hubby wants to see it for the action so he claims but I know he wants to ogle KH :P I'll tell him what you said about it.

I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and loved Jack Nicholson's acting. I still remember his creepy face near the end.

Biography

Half of the Cambodian population was being murdered as D.Y. let out his first cry. As refugees, his family escaped the communist regime and fled to Thailand, the Philippines and, eventually, to America where he was raised in Long Beach, California.
Love for martial arts was recognized early in D.Y. At age seven, a visit to a karate school dazzled and amazed him, but martial art training was a luxury his family could not afford. To make up for it, his dad watched the karate class from afar and tried to draw the techniques for DY to learn. Time passed, and so too did D.Y.’s hopes of train in martial arts. He would have to settle for watching and imitating figures like Jet Li, Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan. Inspired to imitate and create movements in the martial spirit, little by little, he began opening up to life and abandoning the violent lifestyle he had taken on.

Perspective

My passion is not simply acting, martial arts and film. My dream of revamping the martial spirit through the media is an intervention. I want to use the media to reach the world and my message is one of unity.

My dad says America is his saving grace since it was America that saved us in our moment of desperation during the flee of the Cambodian Civil War. His three one time starving children are now college graduates and, in one way or another, aspire to give back to humanity. While some curse the American government, my father praises it. He says it’s not about a right or wrong perspective, it’s about what perspective brings the best out of you. What makes you get back up when life beats you to the ground, buries you under the heaviest rocks and tries to destroys every hope you have? And it is about discovery. Mine for that gold that exist in your soul, no matter what dark places you encounter along the way. Discover that one thing, the will of your life, that keeps your ship steaming, no matter how long it takes for the shores to arrive. On that shore stands the hope worth fighting for. Lastly, what perspective gives you the courage to pay it forward? With empathy, comes courage. In your weakness, you find your strength and in sacrificing yourself, you find yourself.
