Xin shao lin si (2011)
A thrilling and moving spiritual journey
This is one of my favorite movies, period.
It handles the evolution of a man from a brutal, uncaring fighter through the heights of success, to complete and shattering loss where he discovers what is truly important beyond himself.
I could watch this over and over: thrilling action sequences, along with the story of a man's growth to true maturity, compassion and valor. This has it all! Great acting, visually stunning, worthwhile plot. Highest recommendation if you enjoy martial arts and foreign movies.
Jupiter Ascending (2015)
Women, give this a try. Guys, stay away.
Is this a cheesy action movie? Sure! But it's gorgeous, fun, has beautiful men competing for a female protagonist, and wth shouldn't women have the same fun men have had with pretty much every guy flick I've had to sit through during my long life?
Tell me about how Conan, the Bond films, and pretty much every action film ever made before I got too damn bored to watch them were intellectual and film making masterpieces. Right.....
Guys appear to hate this movie apparently because it caters to women. They hate it the way they hate teen girls having fun on their cell phones, or a host of other activities involving women enjoying themselves without men. Any media that women love that is just entertaining, will be instantly put down in our culture.
If you'd like a glittering, lovely interstellar romp, get ready to watch, and just don't think too hard about the plot. Enjoy!
