Shao Lin san shi liu fang (1978)
Almost Perfect martial arts film, the Space Odyssey of fighting movies
I had to watch this movie on Youtube since i couldn't find it at my local video store. Now i feel bad for not paying for it! Gordon Lui aka Liu Chia-Hui is the most underrated martial artist of his time. Even I have to admit that as a fighter, Bruce Lee is hands down the best of the best! As an actor, Gordon trumps Lee. The training is the coolest part of the movie, whether your white, black, Asian, Indian, native American, Icelandic, it doesn't matter. You wanted to be trained like that, you wanted to be a lethal human weapon. I have to admit, futile japan wasn't big on women back in the day, so there's a good degree of sexism in the characters, the men fight and protect, the women cook, clean, pop out babies, and shut their mouths. but i suspend my belief and imagine that a place like this today might find it in their hearts to train me. Kinda like San Te for being impatient in the movie. ^_^
Best Martial Arts Movie I've Seen Yet! a must own film.
Fire in the Sky (1993)
Very scary, important metaphor
Not much to say about this one, i really really liked it. The hour and a half prior to the money shot scene was worth the wait. I agree that this would be the best X-files episode ever if it were added to the series with Scully and Molder doing the investigating instead of the sheriff.
I didn't read all the comments but if mine proves useful at all, i have to say, the entire abduction scene was an accident. The writer and director were pressured by the studio to put it in. It's beyond me why they didn't want one at all. Tracy Thorne concocted the whole thing to have a message that went deeper than aliens. It goes a little something like "how would you feel if you were taken from your comfortable lifestyle with your own species and subjected to cruel experiments with no way of reasoning with your captors, being humiliated and borderline raped with no reason of why" sound a little like when you used a magnifying glass on a random ant? or like the experiments done to animals for research? if we cant co-exist with our planets own damn creatures than where's the logic in wondering about aliens? District 9 is a little less vague, but still a good example of human ignorance.
Best abduction movie to date! very scary, with a good message.
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
A good but not great addition to the star wars franchise
People are actually going to hate this movie completely because of jar jar Binks? besides that name being just as awesome as Jabba the Hutt, or Han Solo, he wasn't that bad of a supporting character. Yeah he speaks in a slightly Jamaican dialect, that's not racist. Just lazy. If any person was raised in Jamaica they would speak the native Patwa language. I don't see Sasquatch gathering lawyers to sue Lucas for rights to Chewbacca's character likeness.
It had big flaws. The cool thing about the old star wars trilogy is it didn't try to be establish itself. There were warriors and bounty hunters and princesses and crime syndicates. That was all it needed, no explanation, yet a story that a good 6th of the earths population will never forget. .... the new one, kinda screwed up with the pseudo-rational politics and the "not sci-fi, Science!" thing that they did with the force and light sabers and such. BUT! Natalie Portman, Ewan Mcgregor, Christopher Lee, Samuel L Jackson, and Liam f****** Neeson. along with a pod racing scene that was so original and exciting. There was some great choreography and compelling light saber battles. None of us could have come up with the original 3 films. I mean, Empire was so awesome. Trust me i understand how much those films meant to us, they were just as much our movies as George's. But the sad truth is THEY ARE HIS FILMS. he can do whatever he wants. no sci-fi is ever gonna be as good as The Empire Strikes Back T_T
