Oh, cool. Yeah, I thought the action was REALLY good. There were several parts where me and my friend were like, "Damn!"

Its called Danny The Dog over here and the action was amazing as you would expect from Jet Li's nun american movies.

I was also suprised by how deep the story was for a martial arts movie and how well Jet Li was in the drama parts.

I really liked the fight against the long white guy that fight Jet Li in the end,he was soo good.


This movie was so good cause Luc Besson is a master of action, I mean he has doen three movies that i love Kiss of the Dragon,this one and The Transporter.

Also this movie is french to me atleast cause of the director.


I saw tonight History of Violence and it was pretty decent. It was a little strange cause it easy and drama and suddenly the guy starts killing people so nasty. If you ever seen my dad's fav action star in the old days,Charles Bronson this movie was a lot like his movies.

I got what i wanted and that was some Ed Harris.

Yeah, since the director is french, I figured its a french movie. It also came out in Europe before the US and with the Danny the Dog title. Compared to pretty much every other martial arts movie, it does have really good acting.

It is probably my second favorite Jet Li movie, right behind Fist of Legend.

I just rewatched Dead Presidentz. That movie is seriously great. Action, drama, and the comedic actions of chris tucker. Cant go wrong.

Actually I was disapointed in Morgan Freemans acting in "Danny the dog" (I think ive said it before here). He really sucked as a blind man.
But otherwise it was a good movie

Fist of Legend is a legendary movie, by far the best martial arts movie i have seen.

I wish he did more movies like that then western movies.

I´ve just been thinking on Star wars episode 3 now for a lil bit and must get this off my chest.


How the heck could Lucas write the script so Anakin thought he killed Padmé? I mean, come on. If he really believed that, he would kill Palpatine in a second when he sensed Luke in the fourth movie right away. Cause if there is a son he couldnt have done it.
George Lucas sucks. Easy as that

the most horrible part of that movie was watching obi wan kenobi yell "YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!". in the trailers it looked like it was gonna be such a memorable moment, however the feeling is much different when its said to a guy whose legs are chopped off

Yeah that was also really mad. However Ewan Macgregor does sound like hes sobbing a bit when he says it.
But I still cant really see why Anakin needs the helmet on him to breath, he didnt have any problems breathing until they put it on him.
And I actually didnt know that his legs was gonna be chopped off, it would slow him down a lil bit when he fights Luke wouldnt it ??

Yeah, Star Wars 3 was a little disappointing, but I think it's mainly because we all expect better, since anime usually is.

How stupid was it for Anakin to think it was a good idea to try to flip over Obi Wan at the end. It's like all of his training and skill just suddenly disappeared. He could've just leaped straight at him with an attack or something, it was just silly.

I also liked "Saw" very much. But the acting in it sucked big time, atleast Danny Glover did.

i thought leigh whannell or whatever his name is did a great job acting as adam, especially while also being a writer for saw 1 and 2 at the same time. too bad hes not in the second one though
