Hey, you gotta pay the medical bills someway. It’s from the Thai director of the over-praised Ong-Bak. The star Jeeja Yanin has presence but I hate how he shoots and edits his fights. Still, they’re almost worth fastforwarding through the talking scenes to watch.”:

VIDEO GAME

You're In The Movies

“You’re In The Movies” – Includes Xbox LIVE Vision Camera (Xbox 360)

Rated E (Everyone)

“You’re in the Movies brings the cool factor to kitsch as you live out your dreams of becoming a scream queen, zombie, or kung fu fighter. It’s the first and only game of its kind to transport players into a magical world of cinema mixed with the hilarious world of improvisation. Using the Xbox LIVE Vision camera, players’ actions are captured and placed into short, riotous films that highlight the unique and often dubious acting talents of friends and family.”
