Last night a new action drama started on Thai tv channel 7. In this one, the heros of the epic have super powers they get from sticky rice. If you are not familiar with this, there is a kind of rice which is like a gelatinous type called khao nieo or sticky rice and is like the main food of people in north and northeast Thailand and in Laos. You eat in with your hands and ususally with this stuff made from hot chillis caled nam phrik. Anyway this kid eats some that was supposed to be offering for Buddha and also a solar eclipse happens right then and shines on the sticky rice so the kid gets super powers. But only when he eats sticky rice. He can run super fast and has super strength and bullets bounce off him. Then for some reason the villains also have super powers. I ask my wife why everyone has powers. She says, "It was a long time to go. People have powers then." Well it wasnt a long time to go, it was today as all the cars were new. Anyway my satellite tv is broken so tonight I will once again be watching 2 hours of the super heros with the sticky rice.

Salt. Well, I like that it's an action movie with a female protagonist that was originally written for a male one and barely changed - when was the last time that happened, Alien? And Jolie is decent as an action movie star. But the plot is so full of holes you'd think it had been used as target practice. :star2:

It'd be cool to have more female badasses in cinema. The only two I've seen with badass leads are the Alien movies and Kill Bill.
 
Date Night - I was disappointed it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. There was some good lines and the cast was good but I don't think the director too advantage of the casting. 6/10
 
Netflix instant last night:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
My friend and I were exhausted from a long day and figured we'd only watch part of the movie so we could go to bed. Nope. It was too intriguing and we absolutely had to finish it. :star5:
 
We watched The Evil Dead on Saturday night and really had a wonderful time. It was like we had our own version of MST3K. I haven't laughed that hard in ages.

I noticed that Joel Coen was the editor of The Evil Dead, so then I wanted to watch a Coen Brothers' movie. We settled on watching Miller's Crossing again for our Sunday night movie. It is a great film, and if you haven't seen it, I recommend it highly.

I love the Evil Dead - it's awesome, and yes, very funny. I am big fan of the Coen Bros, and my favourite of their films being The Hudsucker Proxy which was co-written by Evil Dead director Sam Raimi. Definitely recommend if anyone hasn't seen it already.

We are already planning on watching The Evil Dead II this weekend. I'm a sucker for B Horror films in general.

I love The Hudsucker Proxy. In fact, I'm hard pressed to think of a Coen Brothers' film that I haven't like to some degree. Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing and The Big Lebowski come to mind as particular favorites.

It'll be interesting to see what the do with True Grit.

It didn't stop for a moment did it. :D

We went to see Inception again the other night. This and Memento are the only two we've seen by Nolan, I think we need to hunt the others up and watch.

Millers Crossing is one of my all time favorites. I saw it when I was young and liked it a lot and it is one of the few movies that I watched later as an adult and liked even more. The Cohens can be hit or miss, but they are mostly hit. And when they hit it, they hit it out of the park.

The scene in Miller's Crossing where they take Turturro out to shoot him is amazing.

"I'm praying to you... look in your heart... look in your heart! You can't kill me... look in your heart."

Even though I knew what was going to happen, that scene always gets to me.
 
I know it's like they've really got a gun on him. I also love when Finney kills the guys with the Tommy gun while Danny Boy is playing in the background. That's my fave scene from that one.

That scene is horrible yet beautiful all at the same time.
 
Rolling Thunder~ One of my fave revenge flicks of all time. William Devane is an emotionally damaged Vietnam POW, who returns home to San Antonio as an empty shell of a man. Some thugs rob him, stick his hand in the garbage disposal and kill his family. He gets his old buddy Tommy Lee Jones(who looks about 25 here) to head south of the border for some payback once he's healed. It ends, as all movies should end, in a bloodbath/shootout in a Mexican whorehouse. :star5:
