Book and Sword was a disappointing Kung Fu flick. The Story is boring and hard to follow as the focus is on the wire/acrobatic type of fighting. I was hoping for real combat as in Ong bak. I rate it 1/5/5 acorns.
I liked The Boy from Hell a little better as it was at least cheesey. Mom is some sort of brain surgeon who's only son is decapitated in a freak car accident. She hesitates a little before taking up the old woman with the bad wig up on bringing son back from the dead, so of course he is deformed and has become a zombie. She trieds to fix him up with brain surgery, but alas, it doesn't help. I will rate this one 2.5/5 acorns.
Saat po long was a better Kung Fu movie in that Sammo Hung and Donnie Yen are in it and there are some great fight scenes. It is a bit plot deficient. I will rate it 3/5 acorns, cuze those fight scenes are really something.
Ice Rain is a Korean love story with the usual great looking actors and actresses with incredible sweaters and a single theme song that plays ad nauseum. The scenery is Asiq in Alaska and the mountains and snow are pretty wonderful. One word, corny. I will rate this 2.5/5 acorns, too.
The Green Mile was on TV again and I found it just as mesmerizing as the first time I watched it. Michael Clark Duncan is wonderful as the gentle giant and the rest of the cast is great, too. Stephen King has penned such a great story. I will rate this 4.5/5 acorns.
My sister who visits from Tacoma every year for two months has returned home and so now life will go back to the hum drum. My number 1 son has moved in with his dad. I pray he will find a spark in his life.
As I look around, my house still ain't neat! Help, I need a self-cleaning house.
