13 Assassins (2010) This is only the third Miike film I've seen, that I know of. I didn't care for Sukiyaki Western Django all that much (2 stars), and y'all already know what I think about Audition. But 13 Assassins I got into. I'm predisposed to like samurai films, having seen MANY and...

Royal Tramp 2 (1992) More of the same, as the story picks up right where Part 1 left off, except that now Brigitte Lin is one of the antagonists. Or maybe protagonist. There are so many "secret society trying to overthrow/spy on/infiltrate the royal family" factions it's hard to keep track...

Royal Tramp (1992) Stephen Chow is just damn funny. And as entertaining as his "worldwide blockbusters" (e.g., Shaolin Soccer; Kung-fu Hustle) have been, his earlier efforts are even funnier and more entertaining. Chow is a genius at portraying the "everyman" put in a situation above his...

I agree. The Banquet is Shakespeare done right. Wuxia style! I have to watch this again soon.

Parasite (2019) Snuck off to the cinema today to watch this. I liked it quite a bit. Did not love it; not sure where the "masterpiece" accolades are coming from, but it is certainly well-made, thought-provoking, and entertaining. Quite a bit of humor and almost sit-commy episodes in the...

I'm skipping most of the film discussion, but did see this. I hear you, about the watching on-line. And I appreciate the heads-up, but I just like watching DVDs on my home theater system. The DVD is on the way. I'll wait, even if it means I miss most of this scintillating discussion. If...

I honestly don't think so. I'm skimming most of these posts, as I don't want to read any plot details. But I do know that many of the things that put @sitenoise off a movie are the very things that grab me. I don't care about eating-acting, or music (well, it can certainly help a movie, but...

Hong is ok, what little I've seen. I gave 3 stars to Turning Gate and Virgin...Bachelors, and 3.5 to Woman is the Future of Man. Not sure if I've seen anything else. But there's definitely a pattern that I only need to visit like once a year to get that particular "lets talk about...

...and ordered! Along with The Winter of the Year was Warm. That was in my "saved" list. I don't remember putting it there or any discussion about the film, so I'm guessing someone here mentioned it at some point? In any event, both DVDs should be on their way.

I looked for thumb emojis in the drop-down but did not see any. :emoji_worried:

This was just released in theaters in the DC area this week. Got a 4-star (out of 4) from the Washington Post on Friday. I definitely want to see this. The big question is...would my wife like it? If there is anything scary, gory, "makes my heart go pounding," action-oriented, disturbing...

Three Outlaw Samurai (1964) A ronin samurai comes across three miserable peasants who have kidnapped the local magistrate's daughter in order to gain some leverage in negotiating for lower taxes and overall better treatment. The samurai at first is content to just watch how it all plays out...

It sounds like a wonderful film. I just added it to my YesAsia cart.

Cold Eyes (2013) Wow! Where to start? The movie opens, dropping you right in the middle of a cat-and-mouse, hard-boiled scenario. Who's the guy? Why is this girl following him? And why does it seem someone is following her? The movie doesn't waste any time with explanation; just puts you...

The Handmaiden (2016) Well, well, well, a Korean erotic mystery thriller. Double and triple crosses in Japan-colonized Korea, centered around a pampered heiress, a devious suitor, and a streetwise girl posing as a handmaiden. It worked for me, for the most part. I did find it erotic; there...

Delinquent Girl Boss: Worthless to Confess (1971) A group of young ladies just out of reform school find it a tough go as they try to make their way in society. One has a boyfriend who is a DFG*, and she steals from her father to support his habit. Another has a husband who quit the Yakuza but...

Jungle Juice (2002). Stars the main guy from Please Teach Me English (also in Volcano High) and some other guy. And a round-eyed girl who plays a goofy hooker and goes by the name of "Meg Ryan" except she keeps getting called "Meg Lion" b/c of the Korean difficulty with "Rs." Yep, it's that...

My Friend & His Wife (2007) I'll be going through my "Korean not yet watched" DVDs this month. Tried My Friend & His Wife, which mas made by the same guy that directed Host & Guest. Maybe I'll call him the ampersand director. Well, I didn't much like it. About the same reaction as I gave...
