AMERICAN HUSTLE

If you get the time you should definitely go see this film! What an amazing cast lead by Christian Bale and Amy Adams! Acting, Directing, Cinematography, Costume Design, Writing, this film is superb in all areas! For those of us that remeber the 1970's you will get a kick out of the costumes and the introduction to a microwave!!

MOULIN ROUGE!-2001

The Man From Nowhere

I sometimes have a hard time telling Asian men apart. Not in real life mind you, I work with plenty of Asian males, but in movies sometimes it is hard. I struggled at times to follow who was who in Infernal Affairs due to this fact... and yes, I know one of them even had facial hair, but I still struggled! I am glad that was not the case in this movie.

My observations:
1. Movies should have more fights in bathroom stalls where a dead woman is lying on the floor.
2. The jump out of the window with the camera following was pretty sweet. Not sure I have seen an action shot like that before.
3. Why did the one guy speak English? I understand that he was American, but he could obviously speak Korean as well. I did not get that.
4. The guy who got shot at the end of the movie made me think of Pulp Fiction

Alright, good subtitled action movie overall. 4/5 stars.

I'm sure I am forgeting many other great films at the moment.
