Hard Boiled is on my list. That's the sequel to Infernal Affairs, right?
Cough! Gasp! Sacrilege!
When it comes to action, I don't care about the language - GIVE ME THE EFFING GOODS!!!!
Jayne: Anybody remember her comin' at me with a butcher's knife? Wash: Wacky fun.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Oops, Wikipedia cleared that up. Infernal Affairs is merely referenced in Hard Boiled. Gimme a break: I haven't seen either, yet.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We watched Hot Fuzz the other night. Very fun.
I just got back from 3:10 to Yuma. I'm meh about it. It was well cast--Russell Crowe was a great choice for Ben Wade. But what is it with Alan Tudyk and playing funny supporting characters that bite it??

I'm not sure whether my favorite action movie is Raiders of the Lost Ark or 1941.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just saw Eastern Promises.
Do NOT go see it if you are squicked by violence or gore. However, if you like amazing acting, powerful themes dealt with in cinematically interesting ways and beautifully shot action (oh, and Viggo Mortenson naked and tattooed), then run to the nearest theater.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Heads up: Tomorrow night (technically 3:30 Saturday morning) ET, TCM will show Die! Die! My Darling! It's one of those '60s "older stars in horror movie" genre, this one with Tallulah Bankhead.
I saw it when I was in college. Camp classic.

Viggo's a little past his sell-by date for me (and I'll always have The Indian Runner), but when I get in the mood for Cronenbergian darkness I'm sure his preparation and committment to the part will be a selling point.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
TCM will show Die! Die! My Darling!
Oh! That's the one with Stephanie Powers as the ingenue, and a very young Donald Sutherland in a very creepy role.
