The Expendables

If you can work hard enough to get past all of the things that are wrong with Stallone, it's got some entertainment value. The scene with the guy and his machine gun in the hallway was particularly memorable, and I liked Rourke's performance, and of course Statham.

Hero

At first I was like, "this is so unrealistic. lame," but then I realized we were watching someone tell a story, so I was okay with it. I loved the use of color, and all the different versions of the story. Maggie and Tony are pretty, and Jet's great as always, although I got a few more shots of his pudgy little hands than I would've liked. Overall, it was a great movie.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Hands-down the best in the franchise. I actually liked it, although maybe after The Scorpion King, I would've enjoyed anything. Also, I think I'm becoming immune to the terrible camp of the family. Not only did they switch out actresses for Evelyn, but they also switched out her character, which was a little weird, but whatever; like I said, the family's going to suck no matter what, so you've got to focus on the other part of the movie, which of course had Asian people, so I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was also happy to see Jonathan, which was unexpected, but I liked his character in this one. And I liked the yeti, and the sorceress. Also, it wasn't in the desert for once, and they didn't do the stupid repetition thing.

The Forbidden Kingdom

The lead guy is cute, all the women are hot, and Jet Li and Jackie Chan are in the same movie. What more do you need?

Fearless

The first half of this movie is hard to watch because Jet isn't terribly believable as an idiot. However, the action is excellent and it manages to be quite poignant by the end.
