    Maybe Militant Eagle? Can I ask if it is a newer or a older movie?

    i've been a big fan of del toro's going back to when he did dr.dre and eminem video's. pan's took it to the next level in terms of visuals and story. so i hope this one is great. the stunt choreographer is the short white guy who fought jackie in gorgeous. which was arguably jackie's last great on screen fight.

    Hmmm

    I liked the article. Haven't seen this one yet but glad to hear Brad Allen is doing choreography.

    I wasn't feeling the first movie but the only cool thing was Karl Ruprecht Kroenen and his skills with the Tonfa. Good stuff.

    That is a difficult question Dr. Reed has posed...I have something in mind but then again it is probably not correct.

    Hell Boy II

    Highly recommend Hell Boy II; Luke Goss' (Prince Nuada) doubles did a great job.

    uh oh...I see the next KFM moderator now...when I retire I'll nominate you

    I see you are not a Ron Perlman fan. No way you could say that about Hellboy if you were..... Some peole just have no taste.

    I like that the dude from Pan's Labyrinth is throwing his hat into the ring with this. the Hellboy stories I like. they remind me a little of Spawn, but with more humour.

    Despite the decidedly catholic mythology they are bloated with, they are visually appealing and the stories themselves are well paced and written.

    Batman will also be good!

    Looks like this summers crop of offerings from hollyweird is good so far.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    See my opinion is opposite, I thought that Hellboy 1 was great and thought Blade 2 was a bit meh.

    As for Hellboy 2, having seen it last night, I have to say that the plot was entertaining, the characters were interesting, the coreography was good and the costuming and design was pure, undiluted genious.

    I've got a tendancy to enjoy the plots that are based, or even heavily bloated, with mythology from an actual source, as mythology is another of my hobbies. Nothing thrills me more than watching a vampire flick and trying to sort out which bit comes from what culture and how the director and playwrite wove them together. Hell boy digs pretty deep into obscure catholic mythology and the leading roll is played by my favorite off-beat actor so you know I'm going to love it.
