From one of the director of Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang along with his brother. I thought this film was hilarious.



Documentary about Cream drummer, Ginger Baker. Brilliant.

Though for sword action I prefer Chinese movies like Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon, Hero, Iron Monkey, Legend [Jet Li] and House of Flying Daggers.
Iron Monkey was pretty good. Some cracking set pieces and cracking lighting, set and costume design. In fact it's mostly a series of set pieces strung together with a rather simplistic Robin Hood, good vs bad kinda storyline, as these things usually are. Plenty of magical mumbo-jumbo, bowl juggling, flying across rooftops, springing through stone walls, etc, along with some very dodgy medical practices thrown in. You can always tell the villain in these films because they eat far too noisily. Mostly though, a welcome and entertaining diversion.
:tup:

Ong Bak next on the list. ;)

The Wolverine. Actually it's not bad. I liked it. Not very memorable in the long run, perhaps, but still very well done and perfectly enjoyable.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Very funny. In places I laughed so hard I had to clench.

Went with daughter to see Alan Partridge: Alpha Pappa.

Hilarious fun! And a bit of a nice twist towards the end.

If you are a fan of the character you will love it!
