Movie review April 19th
Watch 2 movies past week following are my review. Both quite 'disappointing' especially storyline. If you just enjoy comedy or serious police business you can go and admire Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Keanu Reeves but I find my money not really worth the movies.

(1) Street Kings
Storyline : 2 stars (Nothing new, very dry and dull)
Entertainment : 3 stars (I would put credit to Hugh Laurie though his part was not much just
a few scenes but enough to add entertainment to the movie)
Acting : 4 stars (Keanu, Hugh Laurie and bad police acted well)
Overall : 3 stars

This movie did not make good impression for me. Keanu look old and fat reminds me of Leon Lai's looks in the movie "Empress and ............" But maybe he look like that to suit the role in movie. Then Hugh Laurie (Dr House) appeared, and added flavour to the movie and I like the 2nd half of it.

(2) Forbidden Kingdom
Storyline : 1 star
Entertainment : 4 stars (funny and the fights/special effects credit to Jackie Chan)
Acting : 3 stars (so many new faces in movie, nothing much for their acting)
Overall : 2.6 stars

I was surprised the whole movie I only enjoyed part with Jackie Chan esp when he was the old man in the chinese shop selling chinese stuff to the ang moh boy. As his presence bring humor to the movie added points to entertainment. His english was one of the best among the chinese actors and actress being most natural when he speaks though he has a funny slang.

Jet Li's english was pretty bad and unnatural and I do not enjoy at all his part except for the fight in a temple with Jackie. The new ang moh actor is not just ordinary looking he did not add any flavour to this movie. His scene with the group of gangsters look very much like C class western movie scene.

The other actor I enjoyed was the bad "Jade king". At least he look really like a baddie. Was tired when watching this movie find there is nothing 'new' in storyline. It looked very much like a totally mixed 'ice kachang' movie with little taste in it. An ordinary bowl of ice kachang added with some peach trying to make it something different but fail to make a difference. This is a movie for western audience and not chinese.
