Last week, Geek To Me contributor Marissa Meli gave us her list of the Top Must-See Movies for Geeks. Geek Nation must have been reading it because her #1 pick, "2012", ended up raking in over $60 million in box office over the weekend.
She also mentioned the film 'Ninja Assassin" starring Korean music sensation "Rain." You may remember him from his stint in Speed Racer, but this is his first lead role in an American film production.
Another way many nerds will know of the Asian superstar is by his 'fued' with the King of All Nerds, Stephen Colbert:
There's no discounting the fact that the guy has talent. Will "Rain" be the next Asian sensation to make it in the States?
It took Jackie Chan years to gain acceptance here (can anyone say Cannonball Run?) and only now, as his career reaches it's twilight, are we finally appreciating his ability and charisma.
Here's hoping that American audiences discover "Rain" much sooner.

Hey, just doing my part to get the word out. Do me a favor and ask around the RedEye office how many folks have heard of him. I'm curious to hear the number. :)
