That poster is from Yusei oji aka The Prince of Space. Basically another wimpy looking hero takes out some ridiculous looking aliens.

Oh man, Volcano High was amazing. Even the MTV version was entertaining. Great Korean movie.

I don't know, Volcano High had its moments but the fight scenes were too crummy IMO. I haven't seen Shaolin Soccer though, that movie looks hilarious.

Oh, it's fantastic.
Keep in mind, I'm no asian movie buff, those are some of the only asian movies (not released here and not anime) that I've seen.

 I liked it. Mostly because it had rappers for the voice dub.

I really want to see Casshern, Cutie Honey Live. Oh, and Ju-On and the Ring also (the sequels) -- heh, all Japanese movies. There's also this Filipino movie called Feng Shui I want to see. I think the only asian movies I've seen are The Eye, Shaolin Soccer.

Well, it was licensed by...Dreamworks? So it's coming here at some point. You can also buy it now, but it would be in region-2, so you couldn't play it on your standard DVD player. The day it comes out here, it's mine. No questions asked.

There is that disgusting rumour that Dreamworks wants to remake it. No... just no...

I wouldn't be able to handle that. I'd cut my throat before that happens. We always screw this stuff up. Godzilla, anyone? We just can't capture the magic that Japan tries to convey. No chance in hell.

There's a tiny chance that they let Kiriya do it. It wouldn't be the first time a Japanese director was allowed to make his own remake.

Hm...that's tolerable, then. Kiriya does amazing work. His videos for his wife, Utada Hikaru, are proof of that, no doubt. As long as he has some influence, I guess it can't be THAT bad. I will always love the original, though. Man, what a film.

Yeah, it was awesome.It's coming to American and German theatres next year BTW. Although I hate to watch dubs I'm going to see it since I want to see it on the big screen.

Hero
I just bought the DVD of Hero. I tried to watch it dubbed but I got mad with-in the first 5 minutes because the dub dialog didnt match what the sub titles at the bottom which had what they were really supposed to be saying so I was reading the sub titles anyways. Needless to say I watch it with sub titles and not in English lol
Anyways I was wondering if anyone has seen this? When I first saw previews to it it looked like a lame overblown action movie but when I went to see it in theaters I was blown away. It had a great story and the action, though pretty much unrealstic, was perfect. The best part is that all of the fighting takes place with-in stories that two characters are telling one another. So no matter how outragous it looks it doesnt matter because its being told in a story. And a great story at that! Its such a awesome way of telling it. You get to hear 3 different versions of the same story told 3 different ways. Plus there are stories told with-in the stories. Each story has a different color theme which I thought was really neat. Anyways I really liked it Did anyone else see it? |
