Not only is Sin City being released in April, but so is Unleashed, aka Danny the Dog.
Jet Li, Bob Hoskins and...Morgan Freeman? Written by Luc Besson, and soundtrack by Massive Attack. Huh?
Part of me (the part that loves martial arts films) thinks this is going to be baaadaassss. But then my brain starts a-thinkin'.
1) The only Jet Li movies I've ever enjoyed were Hero and whatever that one was with Aaliyah. Romeo Must Die, that's it. Oh, wait. The One was pretty good, too.
2) Luc Besson peaked at The Fifth Element. Everything he's written since then has been silly trash. So disappointing since La Femme Nikita and Leon are two of my favorite films.
3) Jet Li's acting in English is laughable.
4) It's a totally predictable storyline. Duh.
Maybe it's just the thought of seeing Jet Li run around in a dog collar that piques my interest, 'cause I'm kinky like that. Rowr.
Ah, whatever. It's got martial arts in it, so it's at least worth a matinee.
And evidently this guy is trying to become the new Jackie Chan. Looks so bad, it's good. Coming in February.
On the other hand, Kung Fu Hustle looks freakin' brilliant. I'm laughing my ass off just from the trailer. Of course, this won't be released in the U.S. for at least a year or two. *sigh*
But I'll wait. Oh yes, I will wait.

also, jet li is nothing. i'd like him better if he was more interested in promoting kung fu as an art form and martial arts style and less concerned with having 18 million flying wire bullshit impossible sci-fi fights in his otherwise tearfully bad movies.
...anyway. how are you doing?
