An enjoyable summer action-adventure romp. [NOTE: Edited on 26 May 2008: Removing spoilers] Its been 18 years since the last “Indiana Jones” movie, and the one question everyone has is, “is it worth the wait”?” Yes, and no. Set in the “red-scare” era of 1950’s America, Doctor Jones is forced by Russian agents (replacing the […]

General cinema fans will be impressed, but hardcore fans will be disappointed. Although I don’t usually fall for movie hype, I must admit the hype for the “Jackie and Jet project” was something that I eagerly awaiting for. For the past few months I’ve been blogging articles about the fabled “Jackie and Jet” project, “The […]

This is another look at the upcoming Jet Li/Jackie Chan project, “The Forbidden Kingdom”, and is a follow up to my article “Jackie vs Jet: The Forbidden Kingdom: A preview“. The Forbidden Kingdom is the widely anticipated movie which will see both Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the same movie for the first time […]

Karate Kid III is the lamest movie I’ve ever seen. Released in 1989, the third-part of the Karate Kid trilogy (yes, I know there was a fourth that was even crappier than this) sees Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) returning with Miyagi from their trip to Okinawa and suddenly get involved with John Kreese’s desire for […]

When you think of big-name on-screen collaborations, one normally thinks of “Heat“, where Robert De Niro and Al Pacino were sharing the big screen for the first time since “The Godfather part II” (Although in that movie they were never seen together at the same time), and there are rumours that De Niro and Pacino […]

After seeing the piss-poor Rush Hour 3, and seeing the rather despondent face of Jackie Chan, I began to wonder whether we will ever see any genuine “innovation” in action movies… I’m wondering, after the Die Hard 4.0’s and the Rush Hour 3’s of this world, whether action movies are destined to be teenage-friendly, or […]

“Rush Hour 3, AKA: Chris Tucker: The Movie” “Rush Hour 3” is by-the-numbers summer action movie, but by the the time you’ve left and revisited the other prequels, you’ll soon realise just how shallow, empty and pointless this movie really is. Caught up in development hell, script rewrites and complex salary negotiations, “Rush Hour 3” […]
