Recent DVDs Watched

1. Be Kind Rewind - (Jack Black, Mos Def) - Started with a lot of promise, ended up being forgettable.

2. Forbidden Kingdom - (Jacky Chan, Jet Li) - Everyone involved in this movie must have gone to the cliche-till-you-die festival.

3. Pathfinder - (Karl Urban, Moon Bloodgood) - It had potential as a serviceable popcorn movie, but it failed even that.

4. Shinobi: Heart Under Blade - (Yukie Nakama, Joe Odagiri) - It had a few cheap references to Ninja Scroll I have to admit - but this movie was masterfully done. Buy the DVD or download if you have the chance.

5. Never Back Down - (Sean Faris, Cam Gigandet) - Another cliche-fest, but being an MMA fan, I actually finished the movie in its entirety without ejecting the DVD - which is a good thing for a movie I expected little of.
