I watched the original La Femme Nikita (1990, french) the other day. I thought it was a pretty cool movie, with a lot of potential. Of course I have to subtract points for it having the second worst sound track of any movie I've ever seen (Interview with a Vampire is #1), and the terrible gun play, and the anticlimactic climax. However, besides those few detractors, I thought it was great in concept and can see why it has been remade so many times.

Now I'm most of the way through A Scanner Darkly. I like the way it was filmed, it makes the pointless scenes easier to watch. I also like that I just finished the book and I know a little bit more about what is supposed to be going on.

Also recently watched Ip Man, about the legendary Ip Man. I guess he was a Wing Chun master during WWII. Pretty great movie I thought; and apparently based on true events.

I hear that Red Cliff is a good Chinese movie as well, so that is next up. One thing China seems to be able to do right, is martial arts movies.
