Japaneese, Chineese & Korean movies

saiyan_monkey · 07-23-2009, 10:57 PM

Yes another movie topic...

Does anyone here like Japaneese, Chineese or korean movies?

It took me a while to find Azumi 2(Japan) but was worth it but it was a let down followup of Azumi 1, maybe I just expected them to top the previous.

Vs.(Japan) was good and another one I liked. Its good to see a Japanees version of zombies and theres some good action in it (not as good as Azumi)

Volcano High (Korea). I found the humor funny. There was another one I watched that was rather creepy but have to get hold of my mate to ask the name of it.

I reccommend Fearless & Hero to anyone that hasnt watched them and if you like Jet Li

Im always interested in finding other good ones to watch and buy to add to my collection so if anyone here also enjoys them please share what you have watched and if you enjoyed it and of course the name of it.

I enjoy martial arts flicks, and (most) horror films. I will be forever indebted to Ring (technically The Ring, the American version, first) for introducing me to how f***ed up Asian horror cinema can be.

I've seen a pretty good handful of Live action Japanese movies. Taiyou no Uta being a huge favorite.

Im looking forward to seeing the Gudge originals. The remakes were all right but I wouldnt buythem. I might go borrow The Ring movies and check them out but they are'nt the originals though.

I actually named my newest guitar after the character from Taiyou No Uta

Densha Otoko is another one I enjoyed a lot. Akihabara @Deep was also great. Closed Notes, The Letter The Taste of Tea and Paco and the magical book were all ones I'd recommend.

saiyan_monkey · 07-24-2009, 12:16 AM

Cool thats a few to check out. You play guitar? I just started a "Anyone Play An Instrument" topic in the music category.

In any case, I occasionally have these "Let's watch something Asian"-things going on when there's nothing decent out in Hollywood. Of course, there are the movies I watch regardless of their asianness like the Godzilla flicks, but I think everyone watches these.

I really enjoyed Azumi, mostly because of Aya Ueto, liked Love under Blade or whatever it is called, kind of felt let down by Versus. Another pretty good one is the Cutie Honey live action movie, since it was wonderfully colouful and rather wacky.

I enjoyed Initial D in its live-action version for some reason that is completely beyond me.

Then I absolutely loved Survive Style 5+. I still have no idea what it's all about, but it's amazingly awesome. Also, Battle Royale.

I fixed it for you, I hope you can sleep tonight

I watch Asian movies now and then about as much as I watch Hollywood movies. It doesnt matter what comes out in Hollywood, I will still watch whatever I feel like watching at that time. I should make a list at the top for all the movies people list.

EDIT: Has anyone seen Princess Blade?

*cqb101* · 07-24-2009, 11:48 AM

Takashi Miike is one of my favorite directors. Ichi the Killer is my personal favorite of his. Also really like Sukiyaki Western Django. As far as other Japanese films go, Versus is great, Battle Royale is one of my favorite films. Just saw Big Man Japan yesterday and it was pretty ridiculously awesome. Tokyo Gore Police is a lot of fun.

I'm not too familiar with Korean films, but I do love The Host and Park Chan-wook's vengeance trilogy. Can't wait for his upcoming Thirst, either.

saiyan Monkey, you listeld all of the most common movies everyone has seen. But yeah, They are all great movies.

I don't really watch any asian movies anymore. I guess I just don't keep up with them these days. Battle Royale is a movie everyone needs to see, whether they like it or not.

I started that. After about half an hour, still nothing happened and so I stopped watching, telling myself that I'll get back to it at some point. I didn't.

As for typos, "father" wasn't the only one. Remember, they're in there, fixing their car. Also, "Japaneese" and "Chineese" both have only two E, one before and one after the E.

I forgot about the Cutie Honey movie. I really liked that.

I tend to not check anything I type. Mt fault for being on other sites and msn at once. Just for you I'll check my typing from now. But yes I was bad at English class, party party was more important at the time

I know but I have only started to watch Asian films a lil while ago after finding Azumi and Vs. I started this topic to bring in more movie names for myself and others to check out.

*ToTheNines* · 07-24-2009, 04:07 PM

Some one please tell me they've seen Defenders of Space.

*Mecha Cow* · 07-24-2009, 04:17 PM

No Kurosawa love?

Is it related to "Prince of Space?" That was a bloody awesome movie.

I love Kurosawa. I still need to get the rest of his Criterion releases. As it is I only have Seven Samurai and Sanjuro.

saiyan_monkey · 07-24-2009, 04:40 PM

Seven Samurai is a awesome movie. I also didnt find Princess Blade that interesting. There was a few good action parts but still wasnt enough for me to say it was cool.
