Movie Watching Day...

I've spent the last couple of days doing what I love doing the most...watching movies. Last night, a couple of "guilty pleasures". I watched the Hallmark Channels "Good Witch" films starring the ever hot Catherine Bell. Just mindless fun but a nice time was had. Today brought a screening of the "troubled" Dakota Fanning "rape" film: "Hounddog". Much ado about nothing. Dakota gave a remarkable performance that in a better film would probably have brought her an Oscar nomination this year had the film been better and not shelved for so long. The shining moment was the remarkable "Chocolate" (not to be confused with "Chocolat") a wonderful Thai action film starring the wonderful Yanin Vismistananda An incredible young woman who could give Bruce Lee a run for his money. She plays a mentally handicapped young woman whose autism gives her a "Rainman" like quality to pick up incredible martial arts skills from tv and watching her neighbors during their martial arts workouts. She brings these remarkable skills to bear when her mother needs treatment for her cancer and Its up to "Zin" (Vismistananda) to collect the money owed her ailing mother by local gangsters to pay her medical bills. The action sequences are unlike anything you've seen before. Mostly real and painful to watch (as proven by the end credits) and this is a very well made Thai actioner with a wonderful music score to boot. Catch this one!****
