Movies anyone?

Just recently saw Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and liked it. For some reason it reminded me of a lot of the 80's/early to mid-90's adventure/fantasy movies I used to watch when I was younger, so I'd recommend it if you're a fan. Or if you're a fan of the games, of course.

Saw Abandoned over the weekend as well. It was alright. Had some decent twists.

i watched The Wrestler tonight. I think Mickey Rourk is really good. But its not a movie I'd watch again.

Mickey Rourke was the perfect choice for the antagonist in Iron Man II but Don Cheadle (as much as I like him) was unnconvincing as a military man.

The Ghost Writer - Roman Polanski film....Pierce Brosnan, Kim Cattrall, Ewan McGregor.....excellent thriller, lots of twists and turns, might touch a wee bit close to reality hence explaining the justice departments obsession with getting Polanski back on USA soil around the time this film was released.

After seeing Chocolate, I was in mood for more girl action films, so I watched Fighter, too.

Quote:

Aicha, a high-school student, is a passionate kung fu fighter. Her Turkish parents expect her to get good grades so she can get into medical school, like her brother Ali. But school doesn't inspire her. Defying her family, Aicha starts secretly training at a professional, co-ed kung fu club.

I recommend both - the first more for the choreography, the second more for the emo part.

Last night I watched The Countess, which was a German/French film on the life of the infamous Erzsebet Bathory. I personally quite liked it. If anything, the film felt a little rushed. The beginning in particular felt like the movie was on fastforward, but once it reached beyond the death of her husband it slowed down. They seemed to take some liberties with the history, though. They gave her three daughters in the film and forgot her sons entirely and the whole movie seemed to be based on various theories about her life, trials etc. Still a good film, though.

We just saw the Town.

Ben Afleck was great! I love a good bank robber movie.
