Movies We Watch

I had high hopes for this film. Jason Statham is one of my very favorite Action guys. Jet Li kicks ass. I figured the two of them in a film would be cinematic perfection, at least from a great action movie perspective. The film moved a bit slow, did not have nearly as much action [...]

This was a beautiful film about one long weekend in the country for King Louis XIV of France and the festivities and excesses surrounding him, his court, his staff, and the one man who organized it all – Vatel. The sets were lavish, the countryside was beautiful, the palace was amazing, the clothes were lush. [...]

Sweet story of how 2 guys finally become a couple. The ups and downs, problems, stories, committment issues, alcohol, casual sex, action figures, families and friends. Unless you are a homophobe (yep, guys kiss in this film on the mouth), this is a great story about a relationship and the people in it growing as [...]
