Rush Hour 3 was an OK movie for me. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker still had their magical touch when it comes to mixing comedy and martial arts action. They antics in the movie were so hilarious that it was able to make up for the predictability of the story. Its predictability was what hurt the movie. The movie was also fast paced but thanks for being action and comedy packed, you can let go of the idea that the movie was a little bit short. I also found it weird that Lee (Jackie Chan's character) and Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada's character) were able to understand each other even if they spoke different languages in the movie. Lee spoke in Chinese while Kenji in Japanese! I think Rush Hour 3 is still alright to be watched in the big screen but I would have waited for the DVD release to get more from it.
A Love Story is another must see movie IMHO. Karen and I watched this on its opening day yesterday at Festival Supermail despite the storm yesterday. I rarely appreciate Filipino movies because if most of the stories are pretty much the same so it gets quite boring to watch. However, this movie was very well thought. Nice work by its Director, Maryo J. delos Reyes, on how the story went and how he unfolded it. I had a hard time watching it because it was so heavy on the heart that I found it very hard to get angry at the characters. Instead, I felt pity for all of them because each of them had their own problems and that its hard to say who's to blame for all of their problems. I won't say any further as I might give out the story so I'll just leave it here.
Movies lined up: Surf's Up and Bourne Ultimatum (I'd have to watch Bourne Identity and Supremacy first before Ultimatum.Ü)
