Teknolust (2002)
OK my weirdness threshold is pretty high, I love all things David Lynch! but this film broke my weird-o-meter. And I have to admit that I only made it through three quarters of the film so I don't know how they resolve the plot... not that I care! Basically many Tilda Swintons wander around looking creepy as ever, one caled Marine dressed in blue, one called Olive dressed in green, and one called Ruby dressed in red, then there's Dr. Rosetta Stone (do you get it?) also played by Tilda who's creepy and dorky not to mention incredible insecure and confidence lacking in. So the creepy ones who dress in different colours are part of Dr. Rosetta's genetics experiment to create a self-replicating organism (don't worry, she disables the part of their DNA that would allow self-replacation, we can only deal with so many Tildas in one movie!). But here's the kicker creepy tri-colour Tildas survive on male sperm so Ruby has to nip out and collect some every now and then... BUT somehow she starts infecting the men she's milking(?) with a virus that makes them impotent. The mind boggles, very slowly. Teknolust has a rating of 5.0/10 on IMDB

The One (2001)
The is one of the better films that Jet Li has been in, sure it still lacks plot and substance but they give it a real go at the beginning with their whole multiverse thingy. If you haven't seen the film: there isn't just one universe... there's a multiverse... there's a universe where you're not married, there's a universe where you're married to a man, and a universe where you're married to a woman. There are countless universes and they all have a version of you in them (unless you're dead in that one!) existing concurrently with a singly lifeforce string thingy (which is thankfully invisible) connecting all of you. The plot steadily thins out from about there onwards.
A bit of fun (and trivia I guess) Delroy Lindo pops up again in this film, fans of this genre and Jet Li will no doubt recognise him from Romeo Must Die, Jason Stratham gets a bigger part though - yay! So anyway this one guy who is a Multiverse Agent (MVA) accidentally shoots a versoin of himself while on assignment and notices that he feels stronger (because the lifeforce on that one was distributed between the surviving ones? - duh) so he goes a little crazy and starts killing all the versions of himself becoming super strong until there's one two thems left. This of course leads to several fighs scenes between Jet Li (good cop) and Jet Li (bad cop) - didn't I mention that the sole surviving other one was also a cop in that universe? This film has a rating of 5.5/10 on IMDB.
