REVIEW: I Am Jackie Chan: My Life in Action

Posted on January 28, 2010 by Uncle Critic

Ah Jackie Chan, one of the greatest martial arts actors of all time, but you may wonder how he got to be that way. Well Jackie is here to answer that question with a book written by the stunt hungry always smiling man who seems to be made of rubber. Clocking in a 416 pages it starts you out with Jackie as a kid going to the Peking opera because his family thought this would be the best direction for their son to go. We go through his life at the school, how at times it seemed to be too brutal that anyone would survive but eventually he graduated. We go from there to seeing how Jackie started out in stunts and movies with his brothers Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. You get some great stories about things like how Jackie had to make his own furniture in his apartment because he couldn’t afford to buy any to his brushes with organized crime, and his fight to get films made in both Hong Kong and America. The book ends around the time that “Rush Hour” comes out so it’s somewhat current even at this point. Includes a list of his films, top stunts and injuries. A must read for any Jackie Chan fan, fucking great book.

REVIEW: (500) Days of Summer

Posted on January 27, 2010 by Uncle Critic

(500) Days of Summer, here we have a movie that’s very borderline chick-flick/drama/almost comedy. Marc Webb, who you will probably recognized from, nothing is the director in this film staring Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Brick, “3rd Rock from the Sun”). Joseph is boy, Zooey is girl, boy falls in love with girl at work, and chases her, appears to be victorious in getting her then within weeks it all falls to shit. This is a pretty good representation of how relationships go for the most part, starting out great then taking a downward spiral once she gets tired of you, add more complications and drama and you’ve got life. But don’t let that turn you away from this one. (500) Days of Summer has a lot more humor than these teen romance movies that have come out lately (Adventureland, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist), in fact within the first thirty seconds I was laughing, and we’ve got some other nicely placed jokes too. But it’s still not a comedy, either way, good movie, check it out if you’re into that kinda bullshit.
