Film 257/365, Day 281/365 – Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever

A pointless story with one or two decent action sequences.  The only point worth watching in this film is when Lucy Liu is being followed and then in turns kicks a lot of ass.  The rest of the film is a complete and utter waste of time.  The story is appalling, the acting not much better and it failed to hold my full attention for 92 minutes which isn’t too much to ask for is it?

Synopsis:  Eck, a grieving FBI agent, is brought back into service to bring down a rogue DIA agent.  But not all is as it seems.

Film 166/365, Day 171/365 – Kung Fu Panda

There is no charge for Awesomeness.  Except if you buy Kung Fu Panda, which is something I would very much recommend.  It is excellent packed full of fantastic lines and hilarious Kung Fu action.  Kung Fu Panda is a thoroughly enjoyable film and one that could be watched again and again.  Awesome!

Synopsis:  Po dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master, the only problem is he has had no training, his father wants him to take up the family noodle business and he’s a panda!  One day however after a serious of accidents he is chosen to become the Dragon Warrior.  Will he complete the training or will it be too much for him?

Film 143/365, Day 153/365 – Lucky Number Slevin

Excellent script that turns you inside out.  I do like a good script and with Lucky Number Slevin you really get that, and it’s is very well delivered by some excellent actors.  It’s dark, funny, clever and thoroughly engaging.  The story continues to grow and twist from the start all the way to the end.  Definitely worth watching.

Synopsis:  Slevin is mistaken for someone else, someone who owes two rival gangsters money.  Now they expect him to pay off the debt regardless of whether he is who they think he is.  But with no money Slevin is going to have to work off the debt!

Film 142/365, Day 152/365 – Kill Bill: Volume 1

An absolute masterpiece of cinematic wonder.  I love Kill Bill, with volume 1 being my favourite of the two.  I am a huge fan of Japanese film and animation and love the way that Tarantino has blended them together with a number of other styles and genres to create this visually, musically and just generally stunning film.  Love it, love it, love it!

Synopsis:  The bride, a former member of the Deadly Viper squad, is attacked and left for dead at her wedding by her former squad members.  When she wakes from a coma to discover that she has lost her unborn child she seeks revenge of all of the members of the Deadly Viper squad and their leader Bill.
