last night we went to blockbuster for movies.
james and i have the rewards program so we ended up renting mario party 8 for wii and getting jackie chan’s “thunderbolt” movie for free. we bought 4 pre-viewed dvds too – little me, american pie naked mile, mi3, and superman returns. it was 4 for $20 so it wasn’t bad.
the thing is that we have the rewards where you can rent one and get one free but we rarely go there. we went this time because my sister is with us and wants to watch a movie, otherwise …
back to mario party 8, i love it! it’s so fun i wished last night was friday night so i can stay up. regardless i was up til 1am playing…LOL i may get the game. even faith got up early (surprised!) to play the game this morning. i have always love th mario games with the exception of a few and this one’s no different.
back to movies, i was really surprised that we have not seen “thunderbolt” with jackie before. we’ve seen just about everyone of his movies with the exception of his recents like “the medallion” which we didn’t thought was worth watching.
i have to say jackie was serious in this movie. there are still his stunts and fightings but the tone was different in my opinion. even his fighting moves were not something i see alot in his other films. all in a good way. this film managed to be very entertaining and kept me on edge. i was wincing throughout the first half – seriouly “OUCH!” if you like “initial D” or “fast and furious” you’ll love this one. it’s got racing and the actions by sammo hung and cory yuen are icing on the cake. totally recommended!
branching off a bit here, but who will be going to see “rush hour 3″?? count me in! the “rush hour” series of jackie is one of my fav since he started acting here in the US. it’s hilarious and culturaly different. jackie and chris make a great team. ^^ i love their “i’ll slap you back to….” lines.
Mario Party 8 is really fun. My husband order that when it first game out. We love those mini games, it’s so fun and we laugh like little kids when playing it.
