It sounds pretty disturbing. That's the appeal it's got for me.

I'm listening...

On the real it was a very good movie. I just hate people that see that movie and it's the be all end all for them. People don't explore genres. As soon as I found out that Hollywood wasn't the only source for movies I sought out other movies. The films that never get wide release, the foreign films, the films that no one sees. These are the films that I want to see. I'm on a Asain Horror flick rage right now. I still see the stuff Hollywood puts out. I'll be sure to see The Incredible Hulk. I will however be seeing many other obscure titles that many haven't seen.

That said. The Hammer comes out soon on dvd, and I'll be checking it out on Netflix. It's the underdog boxing movie w/ Adam Carola in it. It's supposedly pretty good.

I liked it at first, but some of the Asian cinematic quirks really bother me. For example, Asian cinema can never do just straight drama- it's always overly dramatic, and Asian films can never have an end to a movie that feels appropriate. For example, teenage girls can't die from one bullet; they need an entire clip's worth of bullets to be emptied into their A cups before dying, but not before they've managed to kill who shot them Resorvior Dogs style.

The movie is fun as hell though don't get me wrong.

I totaly agree with you in those regards but is that so diffrent then our hollywoood cinema look at our action movies there out of control for example the new die hard........flys a taxi into a heli....ok ok!

indiana jones........the fridge COMMMON!

you get the point probly lol just out of control on stretching things and yeha the japanese are no diffrent but it makes it fun to watch.

I'm curious to see what you think. I don't know about this one. I'm going to be watching quite a bit of Asian horror flicks here coming up. I just got caught up in them following The Eye. I haven't really explored that genre a whole lot until recently.
