One new movie out that looks great is The Story Of Anvil. Anvil are a metal band from the 80's that have been struggling for success for 30 years. When they were kids, the members made a pact to never disband until they made it big.

Unlike Spinal Tap, they are a real band. Nothing is scripted or staged.

I'm sure he'll get his.
Jackie Chan has already expressed interest in working with him ever since Tom-Yum-Goong, Jaa's an absolute prodigy!
Working with Chan will indefinitely break him into the Hong Kong attention, and considering his American fame, will break him into the United States as well.

On that note, I watched Ong-Bak 2 again. I also rented The Bodyguard 2 starring Mum Jokmok (with a cameo by our friend Jaa, as an elephant vendor

)

I'm not quite sure what to think of Ong Bak 2. The martial arts sequences were well done (as always), but it didn't seem quite coherent enough. He was always switching around different styles, and while I enjoy variety, none of the styles really got to show off. Perhaps it was just the ending that left a bad taste in my mouth.

Just watched a British horror movie called EDEN LAKE. It was cool, think Battly Royale meets Funny Games. Very bone chilling!

What can I say, I love the whole Cyberpunk theme.

I just got back from my favorite French restaurant (maybe the framed portrait of Alizée and Alizée posters there have something to do with it

), La Crème Brûlée, where I watched a great french film, Angel-A. I don't want to give away anything about the plot. It stars an actor I really like that people that are familiar with Amelie will recognize as the character Lucien. If you like French films, especially ones that take place in the real Paris, I recommend it.

Angel-A is a really good film!

Just watched a damn good movie, Gran Torino. The ending might not be the best one or what you expected, but the movie itself is pretty good.
