The Young Master (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "The Young Master" is a wonderful film from Jackie Chan, where he plays Dragon, a student of Sang Kung's school of martial arts. In a contest with a competing school, his brother betrays their master and wins for there adversaries. After Sang Kung finds out, his brother leaves and Dragon goes on a quest to save his brother from crime lords that plan to manipulate him. He is faced with a rabid cop, the cop's son with a chip on his shoulder, and a master crime lord with very impressive martial arts skill. It is a very funny movie with continuous action. A great example of Jackie Chan's amazing skills.

I am sorry man, but 4 1/2 star, did you not see Jackie getting beat down like no other in the last part of this film? But the guy with the horse kung fu took the show away from Jackie. I believe that this movie is at least 3 stars for the horrible ending
Tom Yum Goong (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "The Protector" is a slightly above average martial arts film. If you love Muay Thai fighting styles, you will love the action in this movie. The story I think was rather thin: a Thai boy named Kham must find the people that stole his elephant. On the way, he stumbles upon a gang conspiracy, crooked cops, and some insane martial artists. The action scenes are good, but the story just seems to drag on and skew off in directions that have little to do with the main character.
I have not seen the short version - The Protector. Tom Yum Goong is not the best perhaps in script but you have to admit Jaa does things no one else has ever done!
The Eye 2 (product link) Horror / Thriller "The Eye 2" is an above average horror movie. After the first one I don’t think this one can compare to the original. The story is more about the Buddhist belief in reincarnation than anything else. The story is good with some big twist during the story and an ending you would never predict. The story is about a young girl named Joey. She is vacationing in Thailand and having problems with her boyfriend. She attempts suicide. When she awakens she soon learns that she is pregnant. That is when she starts to see the spirit of a strange woman. This does not seem to bother her much at first, until she sees the ghost suicide on the subway tracks. Now she has to find out the identity of the depressed specter in order to save her baby and herself.

"The Eye 2" fails where the first one succeeds. The film itself is overlong, and too predictable. It seemed as if the directors didn't even try to scare the audiece too, it just a sequel to make quick cash. Horror sequels often fail hard.
