I am a huge movies fan. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I don’t get much free time to enjoy watching movies. But when I do, I try to share my thoughts about the movies that I’ve seen. Movie reviews, celebrity news, trailers of upcoming flicks, etc – are all in this category.
There was a lot of talking about “Hotel Rwanda” recently and I accidentally got myself a copy, so I watched it.

Looking for some martial arts movie to watch, I cam across “Shi mian mai fu” (aka “House of Flying Daggers”). It was made in China and had both a good title and a covering picture, so I fell for it.
