Two Movies

The Forbidden Kingdom

Not an academy award winner, but a fun, action packed, kung fu movie.  It is great to see Jackie Chan and Jet Li do a movie together.  Here’s the yahoo synopsis:

While hunting down bootleg kung-fu DVDs in a Chinatown pawnshop, Jason makes an extraordinary discovery that sends him hurtling back in time to ancient China. There, Jason is charged with a monumental task: he must free the fabled warrior the Monkey King, who has been imprisoned by the evil Jade Warlord. Jason is joined in his quest by wise kung fu master Lu Yan and a band of misfit warriors including Silent Monk. But only by learning the true precepts of kung fu can Jason hope to succeed - and find a way to get back home.

Bella

I saw this movie when it came out five or six months ago.  It was a small independent film that surprised everyone in how well it did and how long it stayed around.  As it turns out it is ranked #3 in yahoo’s all time top movies, because of it’s popularity.  I suspect it will be out on DVD soon, if not already.  If you didn’t see it when it was in the theatres, I highly recommend you rent it or buy it.  It is very good.  Here’s yahoo’s overview:

Nina, a young, unmarried waitress at a Mexican restaurant, finds herself pregnant and without work after coming in late several days because of morning sickness. Jose, the restaurant’s chef, is taken by Nina’s plight and becomes her sole confidant. Jose helps her walk through her decision on what to do with her pregnancy. In the process, he bears secrets from his own mysterious past, which reveal his tenderness and passion for her and the child she is carrying.

 

Next up: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian; Indian Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Who wants to join us for either of these two movies?  Let me know and I’ll organize a date.
