As i seem to do these days is either work or watch TV! I suppose though working for a cable TV firm this is par for the course, as the job overlaps with my favourite pastime - watching films! Yet again boredom struck last night, over 100 channels to watch and nothing at all! God how did we ever survive with only 4 channels all those years ago LOL! So yet again a trip through the onslaught of Sky Box Office and, wahey, something I haven't watched yet (shouts of "Oh my God" from the faithful readers, a film even Paul has not seen!). Yes, it is true. But not any more. Hold on to your hats, cos' Rush Hour 2 is headin' your way (in a way of a review ...  Read the complete review

The first Rush Hour movie went a long way to showcasing the talents of Jackie Chan to a western audience, it's just too bad that Chris Tucker had to come along for the ride. But still it was an entertaining if somewhat formulaic ride that made a good amount of cash. A few years later and we have Rush Hour 2 which somehow managed to be a mammoth hit in the states this summer. The format is the same, Chan and Tucker play two cops from opposite ends of the world brought together to question some shifty guys about where their boss is, people get narked and soon hong kong phooey fights break out with mild comic relief. Yes there's nothing new here but ...  Read the complete review

1998 saw the buddy-buddy cop movie with its mismatched partner line get another outing with a movie called Rush Hour. Using the same formula which Lethal Weapon took and ran with to such great success it too was a big hit at the box office and succeeded in finally breaking a certain Mr. Jackie Chan into the American market - and not before time either. Renowned for his Hong Kong movies Chan had been criminally ignored up until that point by major motion pictures in the US which is a shame because he is clearly a man with a lot to offer the western entertainment market. Sadly though, whilst Rush Hour may have unleashed him into the Hollywood scene, it did nothing to ...  Read the complete review

I went to see this movie in the cinema about a week ago and was looking forward to seeing it because it was a Chinese action film and I REALLY love that kind of film! It wasn’t because I had seen Rush Hour 1 (which I haven’t but intend to), it was because it was a Jackie Chan Movie. Jackie Chan is a legend. He’s loved by everyone and even if you don’t like this kind of film, you’ll still love it because Chan’s in it. Another reason I went to see it is because I really like Chinese people, China and it’s culture. I also like Japan because it’s nearly the same country as China apart from Japan is slightly more advanced ...  Read the complete review
