Limited release, which is why I love my local theatre for picking these movies up. Fuck the choreography looks smooth in those fights.

Looks great - loved Ong Bak, missed Tom Yum Goong unfortunately.  Did that trailer really say she had special needs to kick some ass, heh thats awesome.

Out of those films would see Slumdog, you'd love it I think.

The result is never very appealing, often killing the momentum of the picture with worn out ideas and plot conceits. Why not just keep the story as basic as possible?


I stopped reading after that.  Not everyone likes basic stories.  I wouldn't go just on IGNs word.

Go see slumdog millionaire. Excellent.

Gran Torino too if you get a moment. Great movie, the asian actors are terrible...

Oh yeah I know, but I meant rent it in the sence that when I buy bluray movies I like to get the best value for my money out there. I will probably buy it on dvd I'm sure after renting the bluray.
