So whats new?

You may ask what prompted me to blog today? Well its a shit movie I'm watching called "The Machine Girl". Its basically a Korean horror/action film but dubbed in English.

 It is probably one of the worst films i have ever seen. The plot, the over the top fake looking action scenes (girl stabs someone through the neck and knife is seen in the mouth. The tongue falls out then intestines fall out. WTFBBQ). I haven't finished watching it but by god who in their right mind would produce such a shitty film let alone redubb it to English.

A 2008 film based on the real life story of George Hogg. He was a amateur British journalist trying to cover the Japanese invasion of China in the 1930's.

 After sneaking into China disguised as a Red Cross driver, George (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) finds himself witnessing atrocities by the invaliding Japs.

He is saved by Chen (Yun-Fat Chow) and meets Lee (Radha Mitchell) a Australian nurse helping the  Chinese resistance movement.

There the plot takes a turn as he is sent to Huang Shi.

All in all, a good story with good character interaction (though the story of the main rebellious child Liu should have been explored more) and realistic 1930's depiction.

 Rating 3.5/5

A 2008 movie about a American couple traveling from Beijing to Moscow via the Trans Siberian rail line.

The plot line for this movie is very thin at best. The main characters Roy (Woody Harrelson) and Emily (Kate Mara) get into a spot of trouble with the Russian "authorities" after discovering they have been traveling with some drug smugglers the day before.

I wont give away too much but lets just say that the writers did a very bad job. Seems like what they did was get 4-5 different plots from different movies then sticky tape them together hoping for a good script. There is no cohesiveness to the story line and no real feel of a thriller movie.

All in all, i would not recommend people watch the movie.

Rating: .5/5
