Cradle 2 the grave (2003)
Couldn’t sleep so I ended up watching yet another Mark Dacascos movie. Many added bonuses in this film… Gabrielle Union who without a doubt is the worlds most beautiful black woman and Kelly Hu who’s up there on the asian side. In other words, high eyecandy factor. Awesome fight scenes with Jet Li and driving scenes with DMX. This movie is all action from start to finish. I gave it a very very high score back in the day… but I’ve kind of revized the rating down some (not much) as I’m comparing it to movies that came out later and want to be fair ^.^
I don’t really have any bad things to say about the movie as it’s a full on popcorn movie with no dead time what so ever. I’m entertained every time I watch it and it doesn’t feel outdated at all when I do.
..I rate this movie 7/10 stars..
Sabotage (1996)
Two of my favorite actors from the 90′s in the same movie. Mark Dacascos in a non martial arts type movie but with Carrie-Anne Moss. I’ve been a fan of Carrie since Models InC (1994-95) and my fandom grew with this movie and took off completely after seeing her as Trinity in The Matrix.
Sabotage had me from the moment that cannon fired from the roof top into the plane. I never grow tired of this movie. I actually watch it like once every 2 years… It’s not like an awesome movie, it’s just that I like the Dacascos/Moss chemistry. They should have done more movies together. Even tho it doesn’t have like lots of sniping action scenes, it’s still in a genre I treasure in movies. Sniper movies makes me excited ^.^ This movie is on my Dacascos top 5 tho (Drive, Only the Strong, Crying Freeman, Sabotage and Cradle 2 the Grave). I actually like it just as much after 15 years as I did the first time I saw it…
..I rate this movie 6/10 stars..
Only found a german trailer 
Hawaii Five-O (Tv-serie)
Hawaii Five-O is one of them shows that started up last year and I kind of fell behind on following it due to spending a lot of time in MMO-gaming. I remember I loved the first episodes and was extatic to see Grace Park (Battlestar Galactica, The Border). I’ve spendt the last three days catching up to the series which now is in it’s 2nd season.
Compared to most other tv-series, Hawaii Five-O is in a league of it’s own when it comes to action sequences. It’s like watching a Michael Bay action movie at times… and they have a lot a uber A-list guest actors and actresses (would love to know the budget of this show).
I never watched the original series but I doubt that it could capture my interest like this re-make (waiting for someone to prove me wrong). It’s nice to see Alex o’Loughlin be in a series that lasts passed one season for once. It’s a shame they cancelled Moonlight as it was one of the better newcomers at the time (plus Vampire series tend to be cheesy and twilighty… Moonlight wasn’t).
Somewhere in the middle of season 1 they added Larisa Oleynik (right picture) to the series and I totally love her mystical character (plus she’s sooo gorgeous). She’s not in all episodes but I’m pretty sure she’ll be back on the show eventually as her part isn’t played out yet. Can’t wait to see what happens.
As an added bonus this series has Mark Dacascos playing the bad guy. He was my big hero back in the 90′s (Drive, Sabotage, Only the Strong and Crying Freeman). I think he suits being both good and bad.. and it’s fun to see him kick some ass in the show as well. So far I’ve only seen him fight Terry o’Quinn, something I’d never picture ever if it weren’t for this show. Poor Terry ^.^ Hope to see more cool fights in the future.
Hawaii Five-O is one of the few shows that has crossover’s from other series. Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) from NCIS L.A had a part in one of the episodes which is cool. That means we might even see someone from NCIS again in the future ^.^
All in all, I’d recommend this series to anyone…
