So erm yeah.....it has taken me a while to get around to tell you more. You know the way you never seem that interesting to yourself? Well I had no idea what to write
So I'll start with what I seen/re-seen/seen-again-for-good-measure, in no particular order, just as they crop up in my mind. Some thoughts as well - so there may be spoliers. And before you ask, I am vying for the title of "Most Shallow Movie Reviewer Ever".
The Replacement Killers -putting a face on a name in my brain. Discovery of his hotness/tallness/broad-shoulder-y-ness. Why did they cut the kiss? Nice hair. Nice suit.
The Children of Huang Shi - more hotness, but older and more "centred". English improved. Again, why did they cut the kiss? Dang. Also, he is sporting a somewhat mad "I just got out of bed" hair do. Inexplicably manages to travel huge distances in a day (or so it seems). Often appears and disappears for no reason.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - not a day at a zoo, but a rather excellent meditation on frustrated love and frustrated women in a man's world. Hotness tempered by another mad hair cut, but new ability to fly was rather attractive. I started Karate at around this time too, so was impressed by his flexibility even though I knew he wasn't a martial artist.
Hardboiled - Saw subtitled version with my dad. Quoth he (insert Irish accent): "Jaysus, that fillum's mental!" Discovery of CYF's ability to run down walls, chew something, look cool, and kill gansters all at the same time. Who said men can't multitask?
Peace Hotel - nice hat. Can't really see what's going on when the killing happens. Perhaps I need my eyes checked. I need a bath....preferably one like that one!
Pirates of the Carribbean (with some more pirates from China) 3 - What hair? Scars - gagh! What did you do to my baby you evil, evil people? Still cool though, and it takes a rare talent to shine through this badly written part....
Oh. Untimely death.
Anna and the King - Nice house. Nice clothes. Nice kids. Nice music. More martial arts. He looks awesome on horseback. Huge amount of hotness reserves in this film: CYF clearly comes, not from earth, but some planet populated only by beautiful, talented people. Anna who?
Prison on Fire - Oh, he's showing a bit of leg here; that cheers me up no end given the bleak prison existence depicted in this one. Terrible singing. Dang, he's cheeky.
Curse of the Golden Flower - this film tastes of sugar. Sugary tragedy. Wow - death by hair-pin? I totally never saw that coming! You are nasty. Hot and nasty.
The Killer - Well it's the least you can do. Serves you right. Nice Suit. Hotness levels ruined by moustache, but only temporarily. Phew. Those nicknames. Srsly.
I am tired now - more reviews later.
Also I have to pack for holiday (Yay!)
and I should be doing that rather than this delightful trip down memory lane....
Still to come:
The Better Tomorrows; Full Contact (Yummy); Dragonball (Yucky); Confucius( My wife secretly loves my hair); Bulletproof Monk; The Corruptor (Yummy); God of Gamblers....
