The Good, the Bad and the Last Movie You Saw

I shit you NOT :lol: :

Shaolin Vs. Evil Dead

starring Gordon Liu of Master Killer and Kill Bill fame

Funniest martial arts/vampire flick EVER!
 
Chungking Express

I know its old...this movie is a lot different from a lot of the hk movies I've watched...I thought it was okay...an acquired taste that not everybody is goin to like

P.S.
I think CAG should open a new forum about DVD's & Movies...I know theres DVD forum already but that one is just for postin deals
 
Just saw The Island last night. I was expecting a crappy movie but it was definitely one of my favorites of the year. I like myself a good sci-fi action movie with an orignal story line and this movie was just great. They even managed to slip in the old "which twin do i sooht?" cliche. Highly reccomended.

Niiiice. P.T. Anderson doesn't get enough credit. The Coen Bros. meets Scorcese, that man.
 
Layer Cake, for the third time, its a pretty good movie, go out and rent it or buy it when its released on the 23rd.

"You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake son."
 
Pom Poko.

Very good movie. If you like Ghibli films or movies dealing with japanese culture, folk tales, or even movies about human effects on nature and animals, check it out.

Much better than I expected, despite the presence of shewhoshallnotbenamed. :lol:[/QUOTE]

First let's get this out of the way: Yes, I quoted the same post twice. :lol:

So since you're obviously not a fan of Scarlett's, why would you ever watch that movie? Travolta? I mean, sure he was good in Pulp Fiction, but who the fuck wasn't? :lol:

Man, you are all kinds of fucked up. I'm not sure I can trust anything you ever say anymore. :lol:
 
Spartacus

Not as Kubrickian as I might have liked, but still a damn good movie. Some great acting (mostly from the supporting cast), fantastic visuals, and several moving scenes make it a very nice epic.

Spartacus kicks ass. Especially the Criterion edition :cool:
 
God of Cookery
one of Stephen Chow's films that I hadn't seen. It was very hilarious. Highly recommended if you liked the humor of Shaolin Soccer or Kung-Fu Hustle. There's no real fight sequences though, it's pretty comedy based.

I love that movie. One of my favorite Chow movies. Many classic scenes:

Assistant: There's your fan.
[Chow has a disgusted look on his face]
Fan: Sik San! (God of Cookery!) [runs to him]
Chow: Look! A UFO! (whack!)


Also, the reference to "The Usual Suspects" always has me laughing and in tears. I love how everyone says their line.

Look what you did now, Lulu. Now I have to go watch that movie again. :)

What other Chow movies have you seen, and what did you think of them?

I've seen God of Cookery and Shaolin Soccer once and Kung-Fu Hustle 3 times. Are there any others that I should know about or check out?

I liked his earlier work:

Flirting Scholar
Fight Back To School 1-3
 
I've mainly been renting TV shows from Netflix so I feel a bit left out :(, last dvd I watched was Muppet Show, Season 1, disc 2 AKA Death by Puns. Sure I don't know who half the guest stars are, but it's stil good fun.

Tomorrow I'm going to be watching Hellboy: Director's cut, we just got Starz On Demand working and that's on there till like the 23rd, so if anyone has been wanting to see it, but not willing to plunk down the money to buy it, check out Starz on Demand.

I know that the Fight Back to School movies are considered classics. I haven't seen them, but I want to. Unfortunately, I can't rent or buy them anywhere nearby, so I have to do a lot of blind buying with Asian movies. However, blind buying works out great sometimes, since I blind bought Shaolin Soccer when it first came out in 2001, and I've been hooked on Chow ever since.

Let's see, which Stephen Chow movies do I have? It's probably an incomplete list, but this is what I can remember:

From Beijing with Love (funny 007 spoof; lots of slapstick and fun to watch)

The King of Comedy (comedy/drama ; sometimes disliked by Chow's fans. I personally enjoyed it, but don't go into this expecting gut-busting laughs)

Shaolin Soccer (you know about this one)

The God of Cookery (you know about this one)

All for the Winner (haven't finished this movie yet; a friend gave me this as a gift, but it turns out that it is a bootleg and is incomplete at the end from what I've read... anyway, Chow plays a guy with supernatural card-playing abilities whose uncle tries to use him to become rich... so far, it's good)



Who else does everyone like from Hong Kong? When it comes to martial arts, I enjoy Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Donnie Yen. I haven't seen much of Donnie's work, but I have liked what I've seen him in (The Kung Fu Master, Fist of Fury, Once Upon a Time in China 2, Iron Monkey, In the Line of Fire 4...).

As for other actors, I like Andy Lau. I've rented/seen a handful of his movies, and I've liked them all. What I can remember... Infernal Affairs, Love on a Diet, Needing You, Running on Karma, Fulltime Killer...

This topic is also reminding me of some other DVDs I bought cheap and haven't seen... Eastern Condors... Magnificent Butcher... and possibly a few other Fox Martial Arts releases.

Looks like I'm having an Asian film festival this weekend... :)

EDIT:

[quote name='modium']Castle in the Sky

Pretty good Miyazaki film. Not as good as Spirited Away or Mononoke, but still good.[/QUOTE]

I still need to see a Miyazaki film. I rented Spirited Away a while back, but the disc turned out to be so scratched that the movie was unplayable. So I forgot about it...

Also, where does everyone shop for their Asian movies? It's becoming harder to order from U.S. based shops because of copyright reasons, and I've never ordered from another country before...
 
[quote name='Scorch']Sin City. It was pretty cool.[/QUOTE]

I just happened to rent that and Kung Fu Hustle. So those should be the next 2 movies I see.
 
[quote name='praystation']whose into Alien quadrilogy? Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien ressurection, and AVP (plus Predator1+2?)[/QUOTE]

AVP is not a part of the Alien quadrilogy.
 
[quote name='Brak']AVP is not a part of the Alien quadrilogy.[/QUOTE]

I don't think I said that too.

I said : WHose into alien quadrilogy, avp, predator1 , and predator 2. Do you have to be so picky? You got a think called "life"?
 
Just watched The Forty Year old virgin (I work at a theater), great movie!
One of my new top favs for the year, I recommend that cagers in particular watch it.

I thought Stephen Chow's "Out of the Dark" was funny. My favorite asian actor has to be Tony Leung. You probably mostly remember him from Infernal Affairs and Hero. He was also in Hard Boiled. In every city that has a good amount of asian population, you can always find a market that sells vcds, dvds, or even let u rent tapes. Its been awhile since I've been to them places but my cousin's aunt(who I'm not related to) owns one of those shops. Thats how I get some of the movies through him.
