This Weekend 1 of June of 2007 - 3 of June 2007 pt2

One of the movies that I watched this weekend was called Princess Blade (修羅雪姫) which I've had in my collection for a while now and decided to see some action film and chose this one. Stars the beautiful Yumiko Shaku (釈由美子). Now, this is one of those films that has a lot going on at one time, I'm talking speficly about the story when Yumiko's Character is running away from the assains and end up at Takashe's house played by (Hideaki Ito). Now I understand how they meet but they didn't need to tell us that he was involved in a terrorist organization. What would have been better is that the assains tracked down Yumiko to his house and killed him and his siter. Not that his leader was trying to separate himself from the group and killing everyone he knew that could tell on him. They even could have done it earlier in the film and which would have gave more of a reason she confronted them for the final battle. Anyway the story goes Yumiko is the rightful leader of the assain group and on her 20th birthday she has to choose to avenger her parents death; which he now has learned was a murder and the man that killed them is currently leading the group, Or forgive and forget. Obivously she choose to avenge the her parents and we have the moive. Some of the story is a bit boreing but the action is great, what else would you expect from Action Director Donnie Yen who's also been in films like Hero, Seven Swords and did the action for Twins Effect, just to name a few. Anyway watch it just for the action, Yumiko's acting is not that bad either for a first time actor, much better Than Godzilla S.O.S. and slightly better than Sky High but her acting wasn't bad in Sky High either. Anyway watch it and you'll enjoy it even if it's just for the action. Oh Yeah, while I was looking for the Pics to show you guys, I seen a few things that got me really upset. One guy compares this film to Kill Bill, anyway I don't want to send you to that guy but he's a fucking idiot. This film is nothing like Kill Bill the fight scenes are pure action (Thanks Donnie, keep up the good work) none of Tarantion's cheap ass shit. Also I heard something in class today about the film GrindHouse. It appears that Robert Rodriguez couldn't finish editing his film because he was going through some personal shit. That being that he started cheating on his wife with Rose McGowan and his wife caught him and left him. Dumb ass, well I guess people should have expected something that stupid from the guy who directed Spy Kids and Once Upon A Time in Mexico.
