More old movies from me readers,

I've watched The 13th Warrior & Walking Tall last night. And both were quite good. The 13th Warrior, Antonio Banderas plays as an Arabian guy Ahmad bin Fadhlan who becomes the 13th warrior where the rest of the warriors are vikings. The 13th warrior is adapted from the book called Eaters of the Dead by Micheal Crichton. Here I quote,

Arab courtier Ahmad Ibn Fadlan is sent to the barbaric north as an emissary, because he fell in love with the wrong woman. In AD 922, this usually meant goodbye forever. Shortly after the party ran into exploring Vikings and befriended them, a young boy reaches the camp to call the warriors home: The Wendol, creatures of the Mist, have started attacking their homeland, killing and eating everyone in their way. The oracle forces a thirteenth warrior to accompany the Vikings, but this must not be a man from the north. Ahmad Ibn Fadlan, who quickly is nicknamed Eban, first does not feel comfortable with the strange men of the north, but when he finds out that the Wendol really exist, he bravely fights alongside the Vikings in a battle that can't be won.

Second movie, Walking Tall. You gotta love this movie 'coz of the passionate righteous individual Chris Vaughn which is played by The Rock. Memang sesuai!! I didnt know that he is THAT good-looking! Did you know that he majored criminology at Univ. of Miami. I think its cool! Another educated entertainer. Me respect! Again I quote,

When a former member of the U.S. Army Special Forces returns to his small hometown in rural Washington State hoping to realise a childhood dream of working in the local lumber mill, he discovers that much has changed, as the normally tranquil town is now besieged by drugs, outbreaks of violence and a general feeling of malaise and terror, with many pointing a finger at the influence of a crooked casino where his ex-girlfriend now works as a dancer. Seeking to wreak vengeance, with a four-foot-long 4-by-4 in his hand, and righteousness in his heart, the highly-trained soldier, now the county's sheriff, and his deputy, realizes it's time to bust some heads with a very hard piece of wood.
