When I’m trying to focus, I often think of that “stay on target” scene in Star Wars (but not the part where the gets blown up after staying on target).

Apocalypse
This was interesting.
The Man from Nowhere
I first saw this fight scene at the Comic Con kung fu film showing. It was awesome, and I just saw the movie for the second time on Hulu Plus (can’t remember the first time I saw the film in its entirely, maybe a Redbox rental). Hulu streaming isn’t always kind to action scenes, but fortunately it wasn’t bad. Enjoy.
City Hunter
This weekend’s Korean drama marathon: City Hunter. Good action, romance, humor (but not slapstick), and a pretty good plot. The soundtrack is excellent, especially in the action sequences:
It’s got a Batman vibe, but this hero’s girlfriend can kick ass and isn’t too obtuse to eventually figure out Clark Kent is Superman (OK, I’m mixing my superhero comparisons)
Mr. Nice Guy
I’m tempted to wait until the end of this series so I could title the blog No More Mr. Nice Guy, but here’s the trailer. It’s a bit different from the other Korean dramas I’ve been watching – still melodramatic, but very dark – everyone’s bad to some extent, and a lot of the mystery is how bad are they. And the acting among the leads is excellent. Dig that dead-eye stare at the end of the trailer.
