Rise To The Honour Of Jet Li

Advantages: Stunts | Chapter Selection | Kung Fu | Shooting | Graphics
Disadvantages: Not too sure at this time!

...As some people know, Jet Li is a movie star, does kung fu movies like The Legend 2, and Cradle To The Grave, but now he has finally got round to doing what most kung fu actors don?t do? his very own computer game, action with the comedy also? which makes one of the best type of games. Jet Li is Kit Yun, an ex undercover cop, who becomes a bodyguard to his girlfriends father, Chiang. Who happens to fall into loads of trouble, and ends up reuniting with his best friend and girlfriend. To save the world once again from big trouble in Hong Kong. This game is called Rise To Honour, done by Jet Li, and all the crew. The simulations on this game are just excellent, all the fighting against the goons, and make your way through 2 different countries, San Francisco, and Hong Kong. There are 3 type of game plays which you get to have fun...

Review of Jet Li: Rise to Honour (PS2)

Jet Li Kickass

Advantages: 2 movies in one, bonus trailer footage, two audio language if you can't stand dub.
Disadvantages: None i can think off sorry.

...Reason why its excellent to me is because both movies the defender and the enforcer were both really good movies, the first movie the defender, Jet Li plays the part of a chinese PLA officier trained as one of the worlds best body guards, train in a series of martial arts with weapons training. His mission is to protect a girl who witnesses a murder conducted by a traid lord. During his mission he works along side two hong Kong Police officiers, along with the girls younger brother. The triad lord hires a series of assasins from Mainland China two of which are brothers who are ex-PLA soldiers. One of the brothers are killed by Jet Li and the younger brother comes after jet Li for revenge. The second movie the enforcer, Jet Li is a chinese agent, who goes into Hong Kong undercover as part of a triad ring, leaving his song and wife...

Review of Jet Li - The Defender/Jet Li - The Enforcer (DVD)

Fearless - Jet Li

Advantages: Great story, Exceptionally choreographed and shot.
Disadvantages: Lack of special features (and for some it's subtitled).

...The cinematography in Jet Li's final martial arts film is astonishing, as are the martial arts scenes. However it's not just your typical martial arts flick where there are hundreds of baddies and they mysteriously attack once at a time, the protagonist is unfeasibly talented and the antagonist is nothing short of pure evil. Its storyline is far superior to many others in its genre and much more emotionally involving. Possibly this film's biggest strength is its choreography, and the man responsible for it is the legendary Yuen Woo Ping. This name may not mean much to you, but he is an extremely successful and productive choreographer, with works including "The Matrix" trilogy, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Kill Bill" and "Kung Fu Hustle". Another great feature is the sound. Fearless is the story of a real-life martial arts...

Review of Fearless (DVD)

Jet Lee is impressive as always

Advantages: combines great humour and Kung-Fu, like some Jackie Chan movies
Disadvantages: possibly looking a little dated now

...When released in Hong Kong this film was Officially titled The Legend Of Fong Sai Yuk part 2. This film is classic early Jet Lee and the fight scenes etc are similar to those in Once Upon A Time In China. This film is based on a real rebel legend and Chinese hero called....you guessed it, Fong Sai Yuk. This period film has something great about it, other than just the great fighting. The realationship between Fong Sai Yuk {Jet Lee} and his mother is classically comedic. These two are like a chinese Abbot and Costello, and I wonder if Jackie Chan got some of his influences from movies like this one. Other areas of humour are Fong Sai Yuk's love interests and the trouble that ensues. The film continues the story of the young Fong Sai Yuk still following in his fathers footsteps, who also was a Chinese rebel. Fights are very good...

CanoScan LiDE 100 - I Love My LiDE

Advantages: Fabulous quality for scanned documents, both colour and B&W
Disadvantages: Somewhat slow when scanning at highest resolutions

...I bought my CanoScan Lide100 for home use earlier this year (2009) after having used the CanoScan Lide 25 at work for 3 years or so. Having used it for several months now, I thought it was time I shared my views on how it fares as a flatbed scanner. Anyone who really knows me will know that I'm obsessed with taking photos and have 1000s of digital photos stored online and I really wanted to scan in my old photos pre-digital era and wanted a decent scanner mainly for this reason. WHAT IS IT? The LiDE is a lightweight flatbed scanner, i.e. a device that can optically scan text or images when the original document is placed on the glass platen. If you?ve never used a scanner before, imagine photocopying a sheet of paper or photo but instead of the photocopy coming out on a physical sheet of paper, it comes up on your PC as...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Jet2.com - A good budget airline.

Advantages: Cheap flights! Isn't that why we fly with them after all?
Disadvantages: All the extra charges, however even after paying for hold luggage it's still cheap.

...I recently went on holiday to Prague, and I noticed my local airport, Newcastle, does not do flights to Prague anymore which were once run by Easyjet. After winning a return flight on Jet2.com, we decided to travel to Leeds to fly to Prague using this airline.

Review of Jet2

The One Jet Li x 2

Advantages: Interesting Special Effects, Film Flows well, Decent Special Features on the DVD
Disadvantages: It's not an award winning type of film.

...?The One? Starring Jet Li is not a film I would have picked out to watch. I?m not a fan of martial arts films and I do have a tendency to just think, oh another Jet Li film, it must be a martial arts film, so I won?t enjoy it. A friend lent my husband this film, and having nothing better to do on the evening he sat down to watch it, I joined him on the sofa, and I have to say I?m mighty glad I did. **The Plot:** The setting is ?The Multiverse? ? a series of parallel universes. From one, a man has escaped and is hunting down ?himself?. Sounds odd, and it is. The idea of a multiverse has been covered many times within sci-fi, but to my knowledge never before in quite this way. The idea here is that there is a finite amount of energy per person and it is split between each version of you that exists. One version of one person...

Review of The One (DVD)

Jet Li attempts Shakespeare

Advantages: Entertaining, clever visual effects, good performances.
Disadvantages: Watch it, and enjoy it. But definitely don't expect anything from it.

...Having awaited the release of this film for over a year, I must admit I was a little disappointed with the way it was executed. However, that is purely because I am a kung fu fan and therefore judged the film more on the quality of the fights than the storyline. <b>Storyline</b> The story follows ex-cop Han Sing (Jet Li), a martial arts expert who falls in love with a Trish O'day (Aaliyah), a woman from a rival racial group. The couple proceed to attempt to discover the cause of the feud between the two groups, uncovering perhaps more than they expected. The plot contains obvious similarities to the famous Shakespearean work, although fails to deliver the same impact. However, it still remains entertaining, and one does not need to be a fan of Shakespeare to enjoy it. <b>Martial Arts</b> Jet Li is undoubtedly one...
