Who's in it?   The movie stars Seann William Scott, Yun-Fat Chow, Jaime King , Karel Roden and Victoria Smurfit. Review: The weather forecast (which fortunately didn't turn out to be as bad for us as predicted) once again kept my wife at home yesterday evening. Since we had nowhere to go and frozen pizza to eat, I looked for a movie to watch and settled on Bulletproof Monk . We had seen the movie before, but it was nearly a decade ago and I didn't remember a whole lot about it. After re-watching it, I can honestly say it was better than I did remember. Kar (Scott) and the "Monk with No Name" (Chow)...

Review: I came across this film on one of our movie channels this past weekend and, because I love Christmas-themed horror movies, decided to record it so my wife and I could watch it during the week. We did that last night and, overall, I have to say I enjoyed this film. Let me start out by saying this movie isn't going to be for everyone.
