Perhaps the biggest highlights this month are the premieres of Thor<\/span> and the little known Chinese comedic action film Let The Bullets Fly<\/span>. I’m sure some are excited about the third Tranformers film. Since I couldn’t make it past 20 minutes of the first nstallment, I could care less. Lethal Weapon<\/span> and Misery<\/span> are among the better returning films. <\/p>\n

I’m skipping the list of expiring this month. Ran out of time. Hopefully, next month won’t be a problem. Sorry.<\/p>\n

\n*<\/span><\/span>Let The Bullets Fly<\/span><\/a> My review of the not-be-missed film:<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quote:<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
From the opening sequence, Let The Bullets Fly<\/span> quickly establishes the picture’s exquisite tone. A lone train car\u2014steam spewing from it spout\u2014is pulled by a team of horses along railroad tracks. After the exchange of gunshots between the travelers and raiding band on horseback, events quickly lead to an exaggerated, comedic train derailment in the finest Chinese movie slapstick fashion.<\/p>\n

With 1920s China as the backdrop, screen legends Chow Yun Fat and Jiang Wen (who also directs and wrote the screenplay) deliver virtuoso performances as the power hungry, greedy gangster and the Robin Hood style bandit, respectively. The thinly veiled pro-Chinese Revolution story abounds with fun fight scenes, intriguing interactions, and as the title promises, abundant gunplay, all wrapped within the epic feel of a Sergio Leone western.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
