THE PROTECTOR


Holy elbows of fury! I just caught a commercial for the Weinstein Co. U.S. release of Tony Jaa's THE PROTECTOR! You might remember me pushing his greatness in ONG BAK on you? You've gotta keep your eyes peeled for this commercial, and the opening on August 25.

When the commercial started, I thought I was gonna be seeing an ad for Jet Li's FEARLESS, opening September 22.

Incidentally, Broken Lizard's next, BEERFEST, opens the same day as THE PROTECTOR...

So many movies...

Keep on keepin on~

p.s. Keep your eyes open for writer Douglas "GENERATION X" Coupland and director Paul "DARK HOURS" Fox's EVERYTHING'S GONE GREEN... What I've read of Coupland goes down like a good candy bar, with crunchies and maybe nuts, sometimes nougat, but no caramel, toffee, or fruit. I love me some MICROSERFS! I hafta say, I never did pick up his "GOD" book, cuz the price tag on such a small hardcover frankly annoyed the heck out of me. And I don't know if I wrote it up—I'll hafta go back and look thru emails—but I caught DARK HOURS at the Boston Fantastic Film Festival at the Brattle and dig it. It was intense and moody, perfect for a mean-n-nasty escaped-psycho-con-takes-family-hostage-in-a-cabin thriller. Their cinematic love child will probably push a lot of my buttons.
