Im a nut for martial arts movies and it was a refreshing change to see the 2003 film “Ong Bak” on DVD. Refreshing in that the Thai martial arts used are very different from the “standard” (Hong Kong action movie) style.
“The Protector” opens this evening and it stars the same guy (Tony Jaa) who was in Ong Bak. The trailer for it looks fantastic, some slick moves. Definitely my pick of the week!
I also enjoy horror movies, even the cheesy ones. When “The Omen” was re-released I was soooo stoked to get a ticket to see it on 6/6/06 … how could you NOT go see it on that date? Some might say I have “goth tendencies” with my enjoyment of vampire flicks. Oh well!
Also opening tonight is “The Covenant” which looks to be a teen horror/action flick. In many ways the trailer reminded me of “The Skulls”. Strange as it might seem, and cheesy as the movie might be, I think I want to see it.
