Take a few action stars who have seen better days, add a beautiful Latina, throw in lots of explosions, and blend in some clever wise cracks, and you have a nice warm fuzzy throw back to the 80s where men were men and bleed, swore and kills loads of enemies whilst barely breaking a sweat.... Think Rambo, who could take on the entire Russian army, give him some equally deadly pals, and let them create mayhem whilst saving the girl and trading punches, jokes and bullets on a little Island in the Gulf and you will want the lot to be back. And get cameos from the man who perfected the art of saying "I'll be back" - he gets his just dues in a line "he wants to be president" and you finally see some stars who you may have longed to see together in a single movie for the longest time. This is no Oscar material, but Stallone brings out the best bits from these daddy warriors, and give them the license to kill and to thrill and make the audience laugh with them too. Test...

L-O-V-E 愛到底   http://www.avistaz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/love.jpg   The Asian / Chinese film industry has not been buzzing with too much excitement, and typically likes to produce copies of Hollywood hits, or re-use formulas which have worked in the past. But this show combines the talents of 4 new directors to make a series of 4 short stories, that is both funny and tugs at your heart strings.   The first of the 4, "San Sheng You Xing ( 三聲有幸 )" is a story the lives of 3 people who have the same voice. And if the first 5 minutes does not get to you and make you reach for the tissue, you should check if your heart is still beating…   The way the story is worked in, and the person they chose for the grieving mother, is quite perfect, and I would not be surprised if this was a Golden Horse shoo-in.   Well recommended.   http://asianfanatics.net/forum/topic/590020-movie-l-o-v-elove-to-the-end-%26%2324859%3B%26%2321040%...

Cyborg She(My girlfriend is a robot)   If you could travel back in time to love, protect, and change all the wrongs for the one you love, would that be the perfect relationship? What if your protector was incredibly beautiful, always at your beck and call, never leaves your side, and totally loyal, loving, and to top it off, cooks up a mean meal? What’s the catch you say? How about the fact that she is a robot?   Kwak Jae-Young’s previous claim to fame was giving us the very popular love story – “My Sassy Girl”, which was another beautiful story, which takes you a few viewings to appreciate the nuances and the element of time travel in his work. It was also one of the first movies to put Korea and this writer on the world map.   Here, the story is actually a rather simple one at first glance. A man builds a robot, to go back in time to save himself from a calamity which leaves him crippled, and she not only does that, but serves...

  Robin Hood is a favourite story with almost a version every other year. From Errol Flynn to Kevin Costner, there are many iterations from the heroic to the slapstick. So will the paying viewer be interested in a slightly more mature (which is of course the polite way of saying over the hill) Robin, and a Marion which in a few years will need hormone replacement therapy?   The director has worked with Russell Crowe before, and for good or for worse, borrows heavily from his previous work, and many others. It will be a challenge to carve out a unique version of this frequently told story and Ridley Scott tries his hand at a twist which sees Richard the Lionheart dying early on and John his brother actually fighting French invaders, plus a turn of Robin playing the son of a Lord.   Well does it work? In a sense, the story works extra hard to distance itself from earlier versions of the story, and yet remain somewhat true to the often told tale. However we see s...
