The King's Speech (2010)
Great Movie!
This for me was just a movie that was laying around that i didn't expect much from, i expected it to be a slow and boring movie with not much happening. But i was wrong, you don't need to have explosions and guns everywhere to make a good movies, as proved many times before already.
If you've ever gone through school, chances are you've more than once had to make a speech in front of a bigger group. This movie is just about that, how to overcome the fear of talking in front of masses of people. How everything just stops and you can't find the words to continue, and that's what's so good about this movie, i have many times found myself in similar situations during school, and that gives you great compassion for him, since you know what he must feel and most of us has all been there.
Ong-Bak (2003)
Good Action, not much more.
First of i wan't to say that Ong-Bak had some very good fight scenes, and great action written all over it. But i found the story to be a bit boring and there was not much to hang on to or however i should put it, you don't feel much compassion for him is what i mean. For instance in "Ip man", we learnt to have great respect for Donnie Yen, he didn't wan't to fight but has to do it in order to protect his family and fellow man, that is in my opinion the perfect blend. However in this movie Tony Jaa is told right at the start: "Now that you have learnt all these fancy Martial arts moves, you must never use it!" and he of course says yes, just like in one of Bruce Lee's earlier movies when he swears to his master not to fight, just in self-defence. So Tony (or Ting) as he's called in the movie, goes against his father's wish the first chance he gets and beats the living crap out of everyone.
But if that's all you're looking for, then i'd say this is the movie for you, and also keep in mind this is his first exhibition film, so in that sense it's alright. Just don't expect any deep scenes or over- meaningful dialog.
