Jaa's Muay Thai is AMAZING, the stunts are fun to watch and all but it's his Muay Thai that I really enjoyed watching. I LOVED that ultra high roundhouse knee he planted. Good stuff.

By sheer coincidence Ive just finished watching Ong-Bak. Thought the stunts/action sequences were outstanding and visually it looked great but whoever scripted it needs a few more lessons. The slo-mo replays didnt bother me much, it made me appreciate the whole 'no wire-work' side of the production.

Pistol Opera

Directed by Seijun Suzuki, who also made Branded to Kill. This movie is basically a remake of Branded to Kill, only with a female in the lead role. From this, I've concluded that Suzuki's style just isn't for me. It seems a little too self-consciously artsy for my taste. Overall: 5/10... but those who enjoyed Branded to Kill will probably like it more than I did.

good movie .. not as rich and textured as Spirited Away but a good film.

austin will have to get it as Christian Bale voices the main character :)

Miike´s "Yôkai daisensô " = "The big Yokai war" 4/10


A mess of a fairytale for children.


I think something went wrong with the translation of the japanese title, coz not a hell of a lot of war is going on in this one. :mad:

better luck last night - i have it now ;)

Marronnier - 6/10

I probably would have liked this movie a lot more if the subtitles weren't so screwed up. For the low-budget effects, it was creepy as hell.
