\nJust watched “The Medallion<\/a>” on DVD. Before I watched it, I was a bit disappointed that I missed it in the movies. Now that I did see it, I am kind of glad that it came out three times cheeper on me.<\/p>\n

Being a fan of Jackie Chan<\/a> it’s kind of difficult for me to add another movie that sucked to the list of one item (“The Tuxedo<\/a>“). “The Medallion” sucked. Big time. It’s a slow movie which as obvious as other Jackie’s movies, but has no action at all compared to his other masterpieces. I’ve seen him on TV explaining that he tried to merge the best of Asian culture and American culture, but this didn’t work very well in the “Medallion”. I hope he would get back to his butt-kicking Asian movies that rock my world. :)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
