Hero

Hero trailer (quicktime via the apple web site) Mike and I hooked up with dad-to-be Peter this morning to go see Hero in Vacaville. I would go see ANYTHING with Jet Li in it. Apparently, this film was made in 2002 as Ying Xiong in China and it received the nomination in 2003 for the Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film. From what I've heard, because of the similarity between Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, it was not released worldwide when it came out and it got lost in the shuffle. Quentin Tarantino somehow got his name put on it in some "presented by" capacity and Miramax has released it here in the states. It was a beautiful film. I recommend it if you're into the Martial Arts genre. Peter and Suzy are going to have son #2 on Wednesday (pre-schedule c-section), and he was pretty mellow considering the upcoming event. It had been a while since we had seen him, so it was good to get out with him while he still has some relative freedom.
