Well since Import-Anime has started selling asian movies a thread devoted to them seems like the natural thing to have.
I've been watching alot of asian movies lately, mostly Korean and Chinese but some Japanese ones as well.
Saw Bounce Ko Gal yesterday, great movie about japanese high school girls that whore themselves t oold perverted men, despite the subject matter of the film it wasn't very graphic. The director mentioned how he was influenced by the movie Kids and it did remind me of that movie, about youth and friendship in a ever changing society.
I also saw Shark Skin Man and Peach hip Girl recently. Pretty good movie, I would call it a Tarantino insprired gangster movie.
Infernal Affairs 3 recently came out on DVD amd I got a chance to check it out, not as good as the first 2 movies, I didn't like the way the movie goes from past to present to future all the time during the movie. Also some sequences didn't make much sense according to the first 2 movies.
The first Korean movie I saw was My Sassy Girl, what a great movie this was, some would call it a chick flick but it's a great movie. The two main characters are in about every single scene and there are barely any supporting characters but they have great chemistry together. I also saw a bunch of korean gangster comedy but most wer forgetable maybe except for My Wife is a Gangster, funny movie with some cool action sequences
That's all I can think of now, so anyone here seen any good asian movies lately ?
