This week's highlight: Harold and Kumar 2 - Escape from Guantanamo Bay

The awesome thing about Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle was not in that it was a good fratboy/stoner comedy, but that it was a good fratboy/stoner comedy from the perspectives of two Asian-American characters, a rarity as far as Hollywood movies go. The original title for the sequel, H&R Go to Amsterdam, sounded like a rehash set in a different environment, until they changed it to the current one, which is far more interesting. Let's just hope the makers of this movie live up to their absolutely hilarious trailers.

This week's highlight: The Forbidden Kingdom

There was another movie from last week that I thought would be good, which was Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon, but you guys already made it a hit in Singapore. It had Andy Lau, Sammo Hung and Maggie Q in the same movie, but that still can't beat Forbidden Kingdom's uber team-up of the two big Js of martial arts movies, Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Sneaks this Friday, everywhere. Be prepared, though. It's in English. Who cares? Yuen freakin' Woo Ping did the fight choreography, so it's going to kick ass, no matter.
