- Blind Fury
Rutger Hauer is great. It's a pretty simple story line but he
is so believeable in any role. And he's very amusing with just
a lift of an eyebrow. It's worth watching anything with him
in it.

Rating:

- An old clasic!
Been a Long time since I've seen this one, glad to have a copy!

- An American Zatoichi - the blind swordsman
This film takes the character from the original japanese television series "Zatoichi - the Blind Swordsman" starring Shintaro Katsu complete with a hidden cane sword. Rutger Hauer takes the role and puts the American twist in it. Shô Kosugi, a japanese actor who plays ninja in a lot of Japanese movie and television flicks, stars as an assassin who fights Hauer's character. They should make a sequel or a remake this time with a more serious plot...

- A different kind of hero
If you liked the old "Kung Fu" TV series, you'll like this movie. Soft spoken and easy going Nick Parker (Rutger Hauer), like Kwai Chang Caine, roams the civilized world in search of ... peace and tranquility? And, like our Kung Fu hero of the Old West, he is ready to come out of his mild mannered shell to defend the weak and fight evil. How he acquired such fighting skills is even stranger than how Kwai Chang Caine became a Kung Fu Master. Especially considering he is blind.

So what sets this movie apart from other action movies? Rutger Hauer.

Rutger Hauer is a really good actor when he applies himself, which he does not always do in his films. But he is at his pinnacle here, making you believe that what you see is what you get. He will make you believe a blind man can develop a six sense (with a little help from a mysterious tribe somewhere.)

I took a half star off because of a lame attempt at humor. I like a laugh as much as the next guy and there was some decent humor interlaced in the story but, a blind man driving around in heavy traffic, going up one-way streets, is something I expect to see in a three stooge's movie. It was out of place here. Still, this is a good action movie. 3 1/2 stars.

Rating:

- Furious Fighting

This is a superb film starring Rutger Hauer. It is a well made movie with good acting and a lot of action as well as humour.

Rutger plays as a Vietnam War veteran who lost his sight following an explosion. He was captured by the Japanese and his captors taught him Samurai fighting. He becomes an excellent swordsman. The film then moves forward several years later when Rutger returns to America and goes to visit his old war pal, only to find that he had been kidnapped by some villains and forced to make drugs. He goes to rescue his friend. From this develops an exciting and action packed adventure where he displays his exceptional and creative fighting skills.

If you are a fan of the Dutch actor, Rutger and you love adventure and excitement, then you will not go wrong with this movie.

Eye-Fi Share on Sale for $65 at Amazon

Amazon.com is offering a so-called Black Friday special on Eye-Fi Share:
The 2 GB Wi-Fi-enabled Secure Digital card normally runs $90; it's $65 while the sale lasts.

Given that Eye-Fi introduced a limited-time-only 4 GB "Anniversary" model that replaced the 2 GB Share version in its current line-up, and that the Anniversary model was $130 list but $100 for Costco members, it's pretty clear that the 2 GB won't re-appear, the 4 GB model will drop in price, and Amazon's acting as a clearance center.

The Eye-Fi Share lets you upload pictures over a local network to a designated computer, or upload via a Wi-Fi network for which the Eye-Fi is configured to connect over the Internet to Eye-Fi's servers, and from there to a specified photo-sharing, social-network, or photo-printing service.

I'm a fan of the Eye-Fi, although I favor the currently $130 Explore model (see my review), which comes with geotagging (via Skyhook Wireless) and adds a year of included uploading via Wayport locations (now part of AT&T).

Nokia Smart Home Solution Puts Power of Control Onto Your Cellphone [Smart Home]

With energy conservation and easy eco-friendliness on just about everybody's agenda these days, one of the most popular concepts is the “Smart Home,” a living environment that knows just how much power you actually need to be comfortable and gives you not a drop more. Nokia's hopping on that wagon with its new Nokia Home Control Center, a Linux-based platform that will control your house's resources via your mobile phone.

According to Nokia, the NHCC will allow third-party developers to create services that are added onto the accessibility platform. That way, you'll rarely come across an incident where some new smart home tech you bought doesn't actually work with your main controller. NHCC works with Z-Wave, ZigBee and KNX, three of the most common command languages for home networks. It will be launched some time in 2009. [Nokia via Treehugger]
