Why Jackie Chan Is Still Incredible

BY: GURU JAY

Don’t you love Jackie Chan? Forbes reported Jackie Chan earned $50 million over the course of last year. He is the #2 highest paid actor, right after Robert Downey, JR.
Chan is not only a martial arts master but also a movie legend. Numbers don’t lie. And Jackie Chan’s record at the box office is incredible.
He belongs to China, Asia, and the world. According to iconic comedian Chris Tucker, Jackie owns half of China (of course, that’s an exaggeration). Still, this is a testament to his superior intellect.
When you make tons of cash, make sure to invest your bucks into prime investments. The Rush Hour movie star proves you can be both rich and famous simultaneously. Without question, over the years his acting has improved dramatically (pun intended).

Maybe, he may have lost some physical strength due to aging, but his mental strength is much better. Jackie Chan is a wise man. He’s learnt how to master his weaknesses.
The celebrity doesn’t care about being made fun of for his command of the English tongue. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan is determined to succeed. When you possess an unbreakable mentality, you can obtain unthinkable outcomes.
Did you know he mentored Maggie Q? He showed her the ropes. And he encouraged her to perform her own stunts when she was just a model. That’s why the Nikita TV show appeared almost real.

It goes without saying Jackie Chan and Jet Li are thick as glue. I’ve seen several Chan movies. I believe he is one of the best actors in show business.
Few have his willpower and mastery. What is more, he doesn’t publicly seek admiration; but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve countless accolades. Jackie Chan is still incredible.

Check out this amazing Jackie Chan fan-made video tribute I discovered. It is a YouTube treasure.

Jackie Chan Vs. Jet Li + Your Favorite Martial Arts Movies

BY: GURU JAY
  
You must acquire a taste for foreign films like coffee and beer. Turning on subtitles is not the worst thing in the world, nor the most interesting. But, I prefer reading words, because as a writer I live in words. I enjoy seeing scripts come alive.

Bruce Lee passed the torch to Kung Fu masters and movie stars, Jackie Chan and Jet Li. There is a reason why Li and Chan are Expendables. Today, self-defense is integral to the action movie genre.
What is more, Chan and Li are true teachers of their mastery. Learning self-defense improves the body, and sharpens the mind. Like athletes, movie stars must dedicate time to nurture their gifts and talents.
I like Jackie Chan because he can do comedy. I recommend watching all three Rush Hours, because funnyman Chris Tucker is literally Chan’s sidekick.
Jet Li doesn’t speak English nearly as well as Jackie Chan. Plus, the average spectator has watched more Chan films than Li. Is Jet jealous of Jackie?

The media rolls out the red carpet for The Tuxedostar. But, they treat The Fearlessactor like Rodney Dangerfield. He “gets no respect.”
If Jackie Chan is 1st, Jet Li is a close 2nd. Actually, don’t discount Jet, because he has tons of fans globally. Plus, Jet likes his privacy protected.
Seeing Jackie and Jet square off is worth $50.
I believe Jet Li is faster, but Jackie Chan is better. Still, avoid starting a fight with either one of them at all costs. They will finish you.
Isn’t it ironic martial artists are peaceful? Although Karate can be violent, seeking a nonviolent solution is usually preferable. Why don’t you try Tai Chi?
When will a big name Japanese or Korean star emerge on the movie fight scene? Do you believe Jackie Chan is over 60? Also, I learned Jet Li is a singer.


Back to story à The Forbidden Kingdom stars both Jackie Chan and Jet Li. It’s incredible they carry out their own stunts. Maybe, that keeps them young.
Do Li and Chan need bodyguards on their payrolls? How much of their fighting displays are just for show? Can they do all that in real life?
Could they defeat Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, or Michael Jai White in an everything-goes battle? What are your favorite martial arts movies?

Top 10 Comedy Movies

Top 10 Comedy Movies

What’s so funny?  I can hear you laughing through your webcam. Are you on YouTube watching that funny Van Wilder scene?

Van Wilder is great. Of course, it is a loose remake of the classic Animal House. Animal House is the # 1 college comedy of all time. But, that’s another story.

By the way, I’m just joking. I’m not spying on you. I leave that to the governments of the world. Their job is to keep you in line. My job is to entertain you.

Hopefully, my story will make you laugh to the point you start crying. Don’t you love tears of joy? So, ease up, relax your shoulders and have fun.

Movie Analyst

I am the first ever Movie Analyst.  Don’t ever call me a movie critic. Why?

No offense to movie critics, but who pays attention to you? Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t affect the box office results. If a movie has a big enough budget it won’t fail. And, that’s why I’m not a movie critic.

I’m a Movie Analyst. Movie critics do not have clout. On the other hand, as a movie analyst I have a small amount of sway. I analyze films for my audience.

I love movies. You see filmmaking is an art, a science and a business. If you love movies too, there is a job for you. It takes an army to make a movie.

I appreciate fine arts. And, I present the finest material. I am your source for entertainment, celebrities and pop culture. 

The following list consists of my favorite comedy movies. I analyzed all these films to their inner core. These are the funniest films of our generation. Enjoy.

#10 Bruce Almighty

It’s no secret Morgan Freeman thinks he’s God. Seriously, Morgan’s huge ego stems from Bruce Almighty. Anyway, Freeman is believable as God.

Bruce Almighty is one of my favorite Jim Carrey movies. We forget Jim was God too. I like this movie because of the clever concept. It is somewhat original.

The film is superbly written. The acting is fantastic. What more do you want?


#9 Bad Boys

Bad Boys starring Martin Lawrence and Will Smith is a hidden gem. Lawrence and Smith play two budding police partners. In the movie, Martin is jealous of Will’s money, success and luck with women.

Smith is called a bad boy because he magnetizes ladies. On the flip side, Martin is unlucky and unhappy and he is bad for a different reason. Martin and Will are a great combination.


#8 American Pie

American Pie was an instant classic. Iggy Azalea would have named it the new classic. But you see the film had a unique flavor of sour green Apple Pie.

You have never tasted a movie quite like American Pie. It is the second greatest comedic ensemble of our generation. Here’s a clip for your viewing pleasure.


#7 40 Year-Old Virgin

40 Year-Old Virgin is the movie that made Steve Carrel famous. The film is in its own class. It is very original. Can you name another movie just like it?

I applaud creativity in the entertainment industry. It is real difficult to do something that has never been done. But 40 Year-Old Virgin is an exception.


#6 Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

Austin Powers is an absolute must-see. The movie is a parody of the James Bondsfilm series. Mike Meyers plays an eccentric character with a sweet spot.

Austin Powers is definitely the goofiest movie on my list. Sometimes though goofy is funny. Mike Myers is the man about town. This is his magnum opus.


#5 Men in Black

Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith play super secret agents. They are so secret no one knows they exist. In other words, they make sure you don’t know the truth.

With a push of a button, the Men in Black can erase your memories. They are so called “galaxy defenders.” Anyway, Men in Black is the perfect summer comedy.


#4 Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

I don’t care if you are a vegan or vegetarian. After watching Harold and Kumar, you will crave White Castle like Prince William. John Cho and Kal Penn deserve royalties from the fast food chain.

Harold and Kumar touches on sensitive material such as racism, sexism and drug use. The script is solid. And what’s more, the jokes are funny and timely.


#3 Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Did you say Saturday Night Live? Forget that. You mean Talladega Nights.

Will Ferrell is one of the funniest men on planet Earth because of The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. You don’t have to be remotely interested in NASCAR in order to appreciate the film. Talladega Nights takes funny business to a higher level.


#2 Rush Hour

“Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?” Watch a clip from Rush Hour. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are the funniest cop partners in cinematic history. They come from different worlds.

I liked Rush Hour 2 and 3 almost just as much. But, the first one is always the best. You’re introduced to new characters and you have no idea what to expect.


#1 The Hangover

The Hangover set and broke records. It is the funniest movie of our generation. In my mind, nothing comes close. From start to finish, the script is flawless.

One word: Galifianakis. Heck, even the actor’s name is humorous. Pop a beer can and some popcorn while you watch the film. You’re in for a treat with The Hangover. You will be entertained beyond belief. 

If I could see only one comedy movie for the rest of my life, The Hangover would be that one. If you haven’t seen it, you don’t know what you’re missing. Everybody makes a valuable contribution- even Doug!
