ive bought the special edition of battle royale and i cant say its anytihng special. yes its a good movie but the way people go on about it here....
the eye is a pretty freaky idea for a flick as well. picked that up not too long ago.
i want to see hero and casshern as well.
i liked it too. Beat Takeshi didn't need to speak a single word of english and he pwned the film. Omar Epps threw in a decent performance too.Quote:

BOUNCE! Kogals.
Anyone see that Korean martial arts/comedy flick released this year called Arahan?
Thought it was really cool. Definitely one of the better action movies I've seen recently. A nice balance of action and humor, the fight scenes (particular the sword fighting scenes) were impressive.
Here's one of several movie posters for this film:

Hot.
Ninja's wearing headphones?
I have an asian video store near me so I hope to gain some use from this thread. :nod:
Yeah, I really want to see Arahan. Heard alot about it. I also want to see Silmido.
Also one day Sword in the Moon will be released on dvd too.
Damn... now I need to see Arahan.
I don't take movies all that seriously, so I can usually enjoy a movie even if it is just silly nonsense. I liked things like Returner and Heroic Trio.
Some recommendations that I haven't seen mentioned
Trick (even better if you also watch the TV series, but not required)
Weather Woman
So Close (silly, but fun)
Things I need to see
Bounce Kogal
Casshern
My Sassy Girl
Arahan
Azumi
Spring, Summer, Autmumn, Winter, and Spring Again
Ashita ga arusa
Moon Child
Volcano High
I'm sure I've forgotten a few.
Any connection to the drama starring Downtown?Quote:
Ashita ga arusa
edit: YES THERE IS. Is it available subtitled? I have to see it. That was easily one of my favorite dramas.
i mentioned it here. definitely a fun little movie.Quote:

also check out Please Teach Me English. one of the funniest films i've ever watched. i even shed a tear near the end of the film because some of it was kinda sad.
If there is one obscure Stephen Chow flick I should talk about, it is something translated as "love of delivery" or maybe love on delivery. I never got it straight. Its about a guy that learns kung fu to impress a girl, but ends up with a shifty teahcer. He exploits him and teaches him fake kung fu.
One of my faves.
