Tony Jaa

This is Tony Jaa, one of my favourite martial arts/stunt actors. A Swedish channel had a theme week/month with movies featuring Jaa, I remember watching Ong-Bak and the Protector. It was love at first fight scene. The video clip above is from the last mentioned, and keep in mind that it’s unedited. Jaa did these stunts himself. Fucking badass!

Paranormal Activity

1001 Movies to Watch Before You Die | Paranormal Activity (2009)

After moving into a suburban home, a couple becomes increasingly disturbed by a nightly demonic presence. (IMDB)

Directed by Oren Peli
Horror movies are much scarier when the monster or villain is left to the viewers own imagination. That said, the first time I watched this it was on my own, in the dark. I didn’t really feel scared when watching it, but the second time, whiles watching it with friends, it scared me. And I had no idea that there were an alternative ending and I freaked out at the end. Seriously did not expect a body flying towards the camera. Boring at parts.

My rating: 5/10

The good, the bad, the weird

1001 Movies to Watch Before You Die | The Good, The Bad, The Weird (2008)

The story of two outlaws and a bounty hunter in 1940s Manchuria and their rivalry to possess a treasure map while being pursued by the Japanese army and Chinese bandits. (IMDB)

Directed by Ji-woon Kim
Awesome movie. Highly recommended. Hilarious at most parts, awesome action scenes. Exactly what I wish to see in a western (this is an oriental western but I seem to prefer them over ones from Europa or America).
My rating: 8/10

Young Frankenstein

1001 Movies to Watch Before You Die | Young Frankenstein (1974)

Dr. Frankenstein’s grandson, after years of living down the family reputation, inherits granddad’s castle and repeats the experiments. (IMDB)

Directed by Mel Brooks
A weird-humour sort of movie, but I likes it. I didn’t laugh intensely at it, but certain moments did make me laugh, which is more than I can say about most popular comedy movies that are popular right now. Oh, and I have to say that Igor was my favourite out of all characters.

My rating: 8/10

Children of Men

1001 Movies to Watch Before You Die | Children of Men (2006)

The world’s youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction. Set in and around a dystopian London fractious with violence and warring nationalistic sects, Children of Men follows the unexpected discovery of a lone pregnant woman and the desperate journey to deliver her to safety and restore faith for a future beyond those presently on Earth. (IMDB)

Directed by Alfonso Cuarón
This is a great movie. You can really feel the hopelessness of it all, the world really seems doomed. And I love the bleakness of it all.  A quit emotional movie, I have to admit that I cried at certain parts.

My rating: 10/10
