16 Blocks / Running Wild / Superman Returns / Domino

16 Blocks – starring Bruce Willis. Another action packed movie. Bruce being a cop was supposed to bring a convict (as a witness before a grand jury) from the police lock-up to a court 16 blocks away. It’s not as easy as everyone would have thought of. Some people wanted the convict dead. Just 16 blocks but ………..

Running Wild - a Korean movie with English subtitle of course. About 2 cops (a well-known top police investigator and another normal cop in the street teamed up to wreck a top underworld gang leader’s, who seemed to have turned a new leaf and also won a seat in the national election. Sometimes, police movie doesn’t end with the police being able to catch the criminals. Why????

Superman Returns – Typical superhero stuff. Nice break from usual action packed movies. Of course it has its tense moments too. Superman’s admiration for Lois Lane is still there. You have not watched it yet?? C’mon, I’m in Sudan and I have watched it. There’s a surprise in store for everyone in this movie. Can’t tell you now as it will spoil your fun……watch it. This surprise is just the right thing to spring a Part II.

Edison – another movie on the police force. Strong cast of stars like Morgan Freeman, Justin Timberlake, LL Cool J, Kevin Spacey (in Superman Returns too). A specially set-up/ elite police team who thinks they were above the law during raids on earthly sins like gambling/vice/smuggling. Monies raided were kept and in one of the raids, a criminal was killed. A rookie journalist caught up with this police team and bit by bit was exposed. Later, he was a target of the elite police team as he knew quite a lot. One of the members in the police team somehow helped the journalist, journalist’s editor & a highly ranked police officer to bust the bad hats.

Go and grab the abovementioned movies. Well recommended.

For me, when I watch a movie, my mind is totally engrossed in it and treat everything/event in the movie as if it’s for real. I know of someone, who throughout the movie, would say “ahhhhhhh, nonsense as such things could not happen in the real world”. This person always ended up saying that the movie was lousy.

Domino – starring Keira Knightley with Mickey Rourke. Keira joined a pair of bounty hunters hunting down criminals for a fee. Halfway through, got involved with a mafia group’s dirty money. She survived and Lucy Liu (of Charlie’s Angels) was the police investigator questioning her and Keira related the story throughout the show. Nothing spectacular. So, it’s not recommended.
