Jet fighter

Not so much a movie review as a demand; but in the words of one M. Meldrum “Do yourselves a favour” and go see Jet Li’s “Fearless”.

Not quite “Hero”, but bloody good. A Chinese period piece telling the true story (loosely) of Huo Yuanjia. Well structured story and fantastic fight scenes. You even learn how to plant rice. What else do you want?

A bit o’ sunshine

If you get the chance, go and see Little Miss Sunshine. Have a laugh, learn a novel way to cope with a faulty clutch & enjoy the enormous heart with which a family’s dysfunction is portrayed.

The climax is a little Napoleonesque and a little creepy when you think about how it developed, but damn funny.
