On Friday, STAR Movies showed Jackie Chan's Battle Creek Brawl (a.k.a. The Big Brawl).  I had an exam on Saturday so I recorded it.  I watched it this evening.  I thought it was a very fun movie!  So it may not be as good as Project A and Operation Condor (my two favourite Chan movies), but I liked it.  It is set in 1930s (I think) Chicago, where a gangster wants Jerry Kwan (Jackie) to fight in the Big Brawl, held at Battle Creek, Texas.  I liked the look of the movie, it had comedy and nice action scenes as well.  It is from the director of Enter the Dragon, Robert Clouse.  I also liked the music by Lalo Schifrin a lot - simple whistling tune but very catchy.

I also watched Mimic on Saturday night.  Now I was really tired that night so I had a hard time concentrating on the movie.  I thought the first hour or so was very well done, but then I started to gradually get bored.  Anyway, the story is about two scientists, played by Mira Sorvino and Jeremy Northam, who develop a special sort of bug (which they call The Judas Breed) to kill disease carrying cockroaches.  But three years later, these bugs have evolved into nasty and huge killer creatures, populating the sewers/tunnels/underground railways of New York City.  The movie looks great (in the sense that they made the underground locations look dark, grimy and icky), but overall I thought it was a good movie, nothing more.
