Just caught this movie the other day and thought it was worth mentioning. “Definitely, Maybe” is a romance love story of a newly divorced man trying to explain his situation to his child. The women in his life in typical hollywood fashion are all rediculously gorgeous. But then again, Ryan Reynold’s almost always seem to pick roles where the female co-stars are absolute babes.
I definitely recommend this movie for an evening curled up on the couch with loved ones.
You can read a more detailed synopsis of the movie at “WotUThink.com” blog. A rather good place for media reviews.

I just got done watching “The Air I Breathe”, and I have to admit this was a pretty interesting flick. One that I didn’t expect to be entertaining. That’s probably why I had put off watching it for a while now.

Prepping to move shortly, I came across some old VHS tapes and DVDs that I had laying around the house. Some of them I gave myself a good pat on the back for, others I grinned and wondered when the heck I bought them.

Cars in movies almost always go hand in hand unless we’re talking about a movie based on the past or on islands or at sea. While there are tons of movie lists based on cars, I figured I’d compile a list of movies that center around imported cars rather than American Muscle cars. They’re interesting because they tend to be lesser known and often times exotic or at least appear that way. Continue reading ‘Movies with Imported Cars’

I’ve been using Netflix for several years now. It almost my primary source for movies. One of my favorite features is that it allows for quick and convenient ratings. To date I have about 2,242 rated through Netflix. Obviously this isn’t all the movies I’ve seen since there are many Asian titles that are not yet available for US release or sponsored. It’s really great to have a database of movies that I’ve already seen. This gives me a chance to reflect on whether or not I feel like renting them again or simply to keep in mind as a suggestion for friends. Netflix also utilizes the existing rated movies to recommend movies to me. I thought it’d be nice to share some brief reviews I’ve written on Netflix. Keep in mind that they may be terse and rather crude. Continue reading ‘My Netflix Reviews’

As far as mystery thrillers go, “Cleaner” seems to do a pretty apt job of making it interesting. But certainly not interesting enough to make it onto any must-see lists for 2007. The cast is pretty tight considering, Ed Harris, Samuel Jackson, Eva Mendes and the love-able Luis Guzman are on board. The film is shot in a very cinematic way that reminds me of most titles under the same genre.

Asian cinema seems to interest quite a lot of people here in the US. Whether its writers running low on script ideas or indeed a genuine interest in remaking Asian movies to suit US audiences. Lately there’s been a big trend in remakes. From horror,drama to action movies such as The Eye, One Missed Call, The Lake House or the horribly done The Departed(aka Infernal Affairs).

Wire-Fu movies are best described as movies that require wire work to achieve certain aspects of a character’s fighting choreography. In most cases these are action movies, more particularly martial arts flicks. In a sub genre of martial arts is a category called wuxia films. Most wuxia films old and new cast actors and actresses with previous martial arts experience to bring on the full effect of the asia style kung fu fighting styles. With wire-fu into the mix, characters are able to seemingly leap long distances or in some cases fly.
