City Hunter and Romeo Must Die

Monday · 3 Feb 03 · 02:01 AM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Movies

STAR Movies showed City Hunter on Friday at 7 PM, and I recorded it. The tape that I had earlier was missing about 20 minutes of scenes, so I was happy to finally get a proper version. I couldn't watch it with full concentration though, because of phone calls and other interruptions... also, Varun was preparing to host a farewell party for his seniors at his coaching class the next day. Anyway, I am going to watch it again later, properly, at night with all the lights off. The movie itself, stars Jackie Chan and is directed by Wong Ching. It is based on the Japanese comic character Ryo Saeba, and it is one of the craziest movies I've ever seen! Good one, recommended watching.

Yesterday evening HBO showed Romeo Must Die at 9:30 PM and I watched it. It was an OK movie, though I thought it was a bit too slow moving in the first part. The action scenes were nice, and I loved the X-Ray special effects showing bones breaking - but the martial arts sequences seemed TOO "wire effect"-ish. Nice hip-hop soundtrack though.
