i got last castle and cant wait for this weekend.
i still need to pick up AI.
my cousins who are huge martial arts fans loved The One, but even they admitted that casual movie goers would find it very shallow and contrived.
can't say i've heard anything about the Last Dragon

Both The One and KOD are OK for seeing, but not worth keeping, IMO.

My wife brought The Last Castle home yesterday so we checked it out.
It is a very powerful movie about honor, accountability and patriotism.
Both Redford and Gandofini gives moving performances as General Irwin and Col. Winters, respectively.
A very good movie.

Kiss of the dragon has to much plot and less action and girls.
Havent seen the others yet.
I do own KotD though...that isnt saying much. I have AI also, havent seen it yet though.

I just saw Last Castle last night too.

I thought about that too. Some movies just do that to you.
The Green mile comes to mind for that.

KOTD was good but not great I liked the fight scenes near the end.
What about the ending? I loved the way that bad cop got it.....hehe

Kiss of the Dragon wasn't too bad. I would agree it could have had more action, but that is US Hollywood for yah! Some pretty nifty extras on the DVD though!

I saw parts of The One at The WIZ and the action looks kicking.
I will get it as my BDay present.

Just got it for my Bday, and the action kicks arse.
A good movie that requires not too much thinking.
