i can be tolerant sometimes.
I find that the Hong Kong filmmakers are the worst.
I mean John Woo is a fun director but people like his early films because they are funny, old fashioned, and dont translate well to english, not because they are brilliant .. technically or otherwise.
everything is slo-mo ...ultra cliche ...
It just doesnt work as well for them ..
I think the italians get away with it because of the huge emphasis they put in the music and camerawork ..
The Japanese horror films are still somewhat musically challanged .. they rely on that cheap keyboard sound to much .. like a Richard Band production ..
anyway i still need to see the damn thing to make up my own mind. if i ever get a chance..
