The latest Hollywood chartbuster Forbiddden Kingdom illustrates the first ever onscreen teaming of the world famous martial arts masters Jackie Chan and Jet Li. The film has been directed by none other than Rob Minkoff of ‘Stuart Little’ fame. The filmmaker Michael Angarano claimed in a recent interview that he was able to learn a lot form both the celebrity stars.

The story revolves around a teenager called Angarano who was sent back to ancient China and the only way for him to return home is to free the Monkey King and who is a warrior but held as a prisoner by the Jade War Lord. He has used martial arts and it is Jackie Chan who essays the role of a king fu master and helps him in his quest. The film has been shot in China and Angarano was grateful to God for having been able to get guidance from such living legends. It is truly a film worth watching for.

Most of the movies of contemporary times either has a layer of ludicrousness attached to it or illustrates in a crude form the desperation for love and passion. The recent release ‘Chaos Theory’ however delves deep into the world of melodramatic love. The way in which the character lives their lives and reacts on to the big moments in their life is worth watching for. The sentimental scenes add poignancy to the whole movie and make it worth showering with praises.

The story revolves around the character called Frank Allen (played by Ryan Reynolds) who made a career out of index cards. But his world seemed to be shattered the day when his wife Susan (played by Emily Mortimer) breaks his whole organized structure by rotating back the clock by ten minutes. The sweet journey that forms the lives of the character is worth calling the strength of the film.
