Tom yum goong
more crazy muy thai martial arts, from the cats
who brought us ong-bak. how people didnt
die making this is beyond me. this holds a place
in my heart as far as crazy message carrying
action movies go. the message being; dont
hurt elephants. crazy.

The Professionals
pretty action packed western. go for the
lee marvin, stay for a younger jack palence
as a mustache wielding mexican revolutionary.

MADIGAN!
Another Don Siegel outing, eh. so kay, kind of
a riff on Kurosawa's Stray Dog, not particularly
great, racial tension, crooked cops, moral
ambiguity, meh' with a name like "madigan"
it needs to be yelled no one even comes
close to screaming his name, maybe thats
what is missing.

The Beat That My Heart Skipped
Romain Duris is on my watch list, he is so good in this!
makes me want to go and rent lupin right now. pretty
good piece of suspense. some genuinely sensual shots.
pretty good all around! this would go on a top ten list
for last year.
