Mad Max: Fury Road - aka George Miller slapping every CGI-heavy action director in the face, ever

I'm jumping on the bandwagon and giving Mad Max: Fury Road a HIGH RECOMMENDATION for an action movie. Awesome choreography, excellent cinematography (some seriously gorgeous visuals), an exciting and dangerous universe. Yes, the movie has a serviceable story and isn't the best for character development, but there are some rich characters and lots of great themes to make up for it.

We seriously missed out by WB/DC not letting George Miller direct a Justice League movie. I'm guessing I'd rather rewatch Fury Road than any of the DCU movies.

This is the best event movie so far of the year. See it in theaters with big crowds. Go in only with the expectation of great action and you should be pleasantly surprised.

House of Flying Daggers review - beautiful cinematography with an excellent soundtrack

House of Flying Daggers is a very enjoyable Eastern love story with some good twists. Yes, it can be a bit slow at times and there's not much story outside the love story/relationships - the larger picture story of the revolution/conflict is largely an after thought. However, the real highlights are the beautiful cinematography, fun action and excellent soundtrack. I particularly enjoyed the occasional silence/lack of dialogue to communicate and convey emotions

Recommended for those looking for a beautiful-looking action-romance with great music who enjoy a patient journey.
