“The Green Hornet” used to be a radio show many years ago, and it was also a short-lived TV series starring Bruce Lee. This is the first movie adaptation of it, however, and with Seth Rogen as the title character I thought it would have a good combination of humor and action. Unfortunately not: there only a few choice action scenes, and far too little comedy.

Britt Reid (Seth Rogen, “Observe and Report”) is a spoiled party boy whose father owns the Daily Herald, a newspaper in Los Angeles. When his father passes away from an allergic reaction to a bee sting, Britt inherits his father’s gigantic house, all of its employees, and, of course, the newspaper. When he fires most of the employees and then wakes up one morning to find that his coffee has been made poorly, he demands to know who usually makes his coffee, and finds that it is Kato (musician Jay Chou, “True Legend”), who also has been maintaining and upgrading the bevy of luxury cars that sit in his father’s garage. Kato is re-hired and he and Britt soon embark on their adventures as crime-fighters; however, they decide to confuse the city and police into thinking that they are the “bad guys,” and soon both the police AND the “real” bad guys are after them.

Seth Rogen does an okay job in this movie but Kato, who is skilled in martial arts, really steals the show. If it wasn’t for Kato, Rogen’s character (Britt Reid, aka The Green Hornet) would have been killed off at the very beginning of the movie. Cameron Diaz has a supporting part as Lenore Case, Reid’s secretary at the newspaper, but her part really isn’t necessary, and to be honest I wasn’t that impressed with her performance. There’s also an A-lister that has a small cameo at the beginning of the film (which isn’t even listed on IMDB, actually) and he was amusing to watch, but unfortunately he gets killed off about five minutes into the film.

Maybe see this movie. Near the middle of the film, I was actually leaning towards giving it a “No” review, because it didn’t really impress me at all, but the action sequences in the last half hour are definitely worth seeing. I still don’t understand why they would want the police to think that they are the bad guys, but it’s possible I’m just missing something. Kato is fun to watch in action, but next to him Rogen’s character appears to be just a bored billionaire with too much time on his hands.

“The Green Hornet” is in theaters on January 14th.

What does one of the biggest electronic expos has anything to do with Lady Gaga? Well as a big part of Polaroid, she is dropping you some hotness.

First off is these:

Sexy Polaroid a la Lady Gaga’s design with a little OLED display under each of your eyes and it has a built-in camera. What more could we want?

Well, she also rebooted a digital version of the Polaroid.

The trailer for this film makes it look like it’s going to be a good action film, set in the 13th and 14th centuries. However, beware – it ended up being more of a horror film than action, although we get plenty of action as well. It also should have been rated “R” instead of “PG-13,” in my opinion, as there is a ton of gore and scary elements present.

Behmen (Nicolas Cage, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”) and his friend Felson (Ron Perlman, TV’s “Sons of Anarchy”) have just deserted the army during the Crusades and are looking for provisions in a small town when they are arrested. The town has been infested by the Plague, and the church officials have determined it is the Black Witch (newcomer Claire Foy) who has brought it upon them. The leader of the town, currently dying of the Plague, offers Behmen a deal: if they bring the Black Witch to the monks at a monastery many leagues away, they will be absolved of their crimes and will be free men. Behmen and Felson take him up on their offer, with the provision that the witch will get a fair trial by the monks, and it is then that their journey begins.

One of the friends I went to the screening with mentioned that he thought it was a horror movie, and within the first few minutes of the movie he proved himself to be correct. There are definitely a bunch of “jump in your seat” moments at the beginning of the film which scared me silly, but by the middle of the movie I was getting used to them. The two characters who stole the show were actually Ron Perlman and the girl playing “The Witch,” because throughout the movie – at least until a twist mid-way through – the audience is wondering if she is actually a witch or not; Cage’s character seems to think not. Perlman’s character has many comedic lines throughout which lightens the mood, as well.

Maybe see this movie. It definitely wasn’t what I expected, and the film’s plot doesn’t really make any sense, but there were supernatural elements in it that I couldn’t take my eyes off of; whether this was because the film was a bit of a train wreck or because it was justthat captivating is up to you to decide. This film was really hard to pin down for a Yes/Maybe/No rating, and I have no doubt that other critics will eviscerate it, but for what it was worth, I enjoyed most of it, even though parts were really farfetched.
