First off: when have i been gone?
Now to the good: Suicide Circle is defenitly one of the best movies (it's not called the little sister of battle royal for nothing). But it's kinda hard to understand if you just watch it as a movie. In fact most "westerners" don't like it because they see it only as a gloryfication of suicides. I would recommand it if you can handle that type of movies. It should be seen as a metaphor of society and not a straight up that's that thingy. And i like the music from Dessart. GOZU is a typical Miike Takeshi Movie. Stupid funnly strang that it's good. The only movie that features a Trained Killer Yakuza Attack Dog. Well, I liked it...but it's not something I would recommand to everyone. Think of David lynch gets hit with a sledge hammer over the head while on a selfmade paperboat on the way to japan. OLDBOY, the all time classic and one of Koreas finest. Deffinitly a must have seen. And also get Sympathy For Mr Vengeance, of which Oldboy is the folloe up. There is not much to explain here. Just watch the movie. (there is also a american remake. and we know who americans love to norton up great asian flicks.) Forget The Rest, never heard of it...hrhrhr.... And here are some of my recommandations: My Sassy Girl, BEST KOREAN MOVIE EVEEEERRRRRRrrrrrr...... Hana Bi, but it's not as good as... Kikujirô no natsu aka Kikujiro's summer. And while you're at it get the Box Set of Aces Go Places . For 50€ you get all 5 movies (of wich the last 2 you can use as assscratcher). But the first 3 movies are some of the funniest HK classics aver made. The original Sam Hui comedies with gadgets that puts James Bond into shame and every lil mech/robot fans heart beat higher. ![]()

Man, just watched "Born to Fight". After Ong Bak I thought I'm in for a treat but man that movie was crap.
The fight scene are very few and sorta clenched in at the end. While Ong Bak was a stuntmans nightmare, Born to Fight was rather sadass gunslinging ala n00benheimer Inc.. Well, at least the few Fight scenes where good, but nowhere near Ong Bak. ![]()

So it seems I have a nice weekend ahead of me got me Ong-Bak, Joint Securtiy Area, OldBoy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and the anime from Otomo Steamboy
Aces Go Places where labeled as "Mad Mission" in german I doubt I will get the jokes, in the german dubbing the destroyed them pretty much I guess and I know some of the german version, I doubt it would be a treat for me as foreigner because I don´t understand the language. ![]()

Steamboy is great. But why do people always compare it to AKIRA. it has nothing in common but Otomo. It's like I comparing a Mercedes steering wheel to a mercedes Gas-pedal.
Whatever happened to suicide circle...
