Babylon A.D. – Blu-ray Review

Jan 17, 2009, 12:48 GMT

Babylon A.D. is a gritty sci-fi/action film that tried to break new ground in the genre, but felt a little too long and too familiar. Vin Diesel combines aspects of his XXX and Riddick characters for a film that offers lots of action, but features a plot that gets too confusing by the time the credits roll. ... more

Babylon A.D. – DVD Review

Jan 5, 2009, 15:58 GMT

Vin Diesel becomes the bionic Telly Savalas in this sci-fi claptrap that references both biblical events as well as the Wizard of Oz.  It’s a pretty ordinary apocalyptic sci-fi actioner, but it’s not helped by some wooden (or is that tin?) deliveries by those involved.   ... more

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (Two Disc Deluxe Edition) – DVD Review

Dec 16, 2008, 14:06 GMT

Brendan Fraser returns to vanquish the mummified, and I use that term loosely, Jet Li in this sequel that seems like it waited too long to get made.  If you’re not too picky then you might have a fun ride, but some will think that the film is half baked. The recasting one of the leads doesn’t help matters either.   ... more

Once rumored to be Jet Li's final wushu pic (period martial arts), the film had sizable expectations built up amongst genre fans to see if Jet Li would go out with a sizable punch and kick.  ... more

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh Q&A

Jul 31, 2008, 16:11 GMT

I have been watching Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh movies for the past 13 years. I first discovered Hong Kong martial arts cinema by way of Jackie Chan, who was the coolest acrobat I've ever seen. I quickly exhausted all of his films and moved on to Yeoh, who was introduced via Chan's 'Supercop.' She costarred with Jet Li in 'Tai Chi Master.' While it was not the same as Chan's funny martial arts, the wirework was awesome in its own right. ... more

Michelle Yeoh to Star in Memoirs of a Geisha

Jul 28, 2004, 14:09 GMT

Dark Horizons reports that Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Tomorrow Never Dies) has picked up a role in Memoirs of a Giesha. Apparantly reported in Oriental Daily, a Hong Kong news paper.

We were unable to confirm it as the paper is in Chinese. Will try to find out more later, when my wife gets home...she is from Hong Kong ;-)

The story is the true tale of Nitta Sayuri and her life as a geisha. It begins in a poor fishing village in 1929 and follows her life.
