Movies! Movies! Movies! (Non-Japanese)

As you can tell by the title, the whip was weapon of choice, though her uncle was the real master of it. If you like high body counts this one is for you, lost count after 5,000. :nut: SB films will never win any awards, but they sure are entertaining. :victory:

Yeah, I've got that one among the many other SB films... Shih Szu rules! :mrgreen:

PS- Sambalici, BMW's recommendation of Summer Time Machine Blues was right on target, :applaud: I highly suggest it also, seen it maybe 10 times and it gets better with each viewing. :woot:

Yeah, any movie or drama that can withstand multiple viewings is a winner in my book. :victory: :applaud:

I watched "Summer Time Machine Blues" tonight, it was really good thanks for the advice. :good:

At first i noticed "some weird details" in background but i thought they were movie mistakes. :mrgreen: I'm amazed how everything came together this smooth, that's the reason why time travel movies rule. :bow:

Yeah, at the beginning, I kept saying, "What the Heck? What is going on here?"

Then it all started to make sense and I laughed a lot... It's a smart movie. :)

It seems to get better on successive viewings because you spot more and more little details... :victory:

Bubble Fiction is also another good time travel one film. :woot:

Viewed another Johnnie To film, Exiled, he really may be the best action director around. Like others, he has so many of the same actors in his movies, if you like hard action with a lot of gunplay and I mean alot, check this one out. :victory:

A Hiroshi Abe starring time travel movie?! I will definitely look for it. Thanks. :victory:

Spoiler — click to reveal

I'm sending you brainwaves of the KUROSAGI opening theme right now... Can you hear 'em? They go quite well with the opening shot of YamaPi! shirtless! with bright red suspenders! rolling about on a grassy hill with a lighthouse!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

On Topic: I've been watching a lot of documentaries lately, since I'll be teaching it as a unit in my Film class. Currently watching Prom Night, but the one I just finished is Chris Rock's Good Hair. What an eye-opener this film was!

I'll be watching a documentary this weekend about that artist (David Choe) whose pictures I posted. It's entitled Dirty Hands

Saw Iron Man 2 today... Pretty good, but it didn't wow me.

Like the X-Men movies that I didn't like very much, there's too many characters fighting for screen time... :sweat:

Cool site. :woot:

The movie was quite raw. A bit unpolished but intriguing nonetheless. Another famous street artist came out with a better film which I found more entertaining, with higher production values.

The art documentary is called "Exit Through the Gift Shop." It's actually playing in the Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto areas as well.

My new sweetie took me to see Date Night with Steve Corell and Tina Fey. They were very funny. A mix of serious relationship stuff with guns and car crashes. This seems to be the new model for date movies: romantic comedy for the chicks plus violence for the guys. I'd rather watch a historical drama. :applaud:

I seen IronMan 2 the other day,It was ok but i thing the frist IronMan was better

Yeah, I sort of agree, though the ending battle of the first movie was a bit disappointing.

Been in a Pacific War binge this weekend: watched Tora! Tora! Tora! yesterday, then watched Japan's War in Color (documentary) today.... :sweat:

I have that DVD too, quite interesting to see what was going on with the people before and during the war, also before they became more 'Westernized'. Worth a couple views.

Yeah, it was a interesting documentary... I would've liked to have seen more stuff about post-war Japan and the country's rebuilding process, but I guess that's outside the scope of this film...
