Three Outlaw Samurai - Hideo Gosha's first film is a solid samurai flick. Themes of honor, betrayal, brotherhood, etc. It's not anything you haven't seen before, but it's still a damn fine movie. Highly recommended for all samurai movie fans.



Ivan's Childhood - Tarkovsky's first film about a 12 year old Russian boy who slinks around behind German lines in WWII. Some really excellent black and white photography and a pretty decent story. I liked it, but wouldn't buy it.



Riki Oh: The Story Of Riki - ****, I love this movie. And they were showing it on Turner Classics!! WTF!!! Super violent and really, really funny. If you ever get the chance to see this at a midnight screening, you should because it's exactly the type of movie for that type of crowd. It was supposed to come out on Blu-ray a while ago, but was pulled at the last minute. You can find some copies of it on eBay, though. Highest possible recommendation.

You should watch more of them.

Will do. Got any Donnie Yen suggestions? He was great in Ip Man.

Caught Wreck-It Ralph last night and really, but I may have loved it more than I should have due to enhanced enjoyability from all the references to sweets and video games.

Also received a hero medal, which, sadly, I now treasure.

Yes!

Ip Man 2 - not as good as the 1st, but still good
Hero - he only has one fight scene (with Jet Li), but it's a great one and a great movie
Flash Point - the story is a little silly at times, but the fight at the end with Collin Chou (Seraph from The Matrix movies) is ****ing awesome
Kill Zone / SPL - All kinds of awesome fighting. Donnie vs Sammo Hung!
Iron Monkey - Holy ****
Wing Chun - This is a really stupid/silly movie with some great action sequences by Donnie and Michelle Yeoh

The last few years, Donnie's done all kinds of high budget epic movies and I've only seen a couple of them, so if you check out any of those, let me know what you think.

He was good in Blade 2...that was him wasn't it?

Yep. I almost mentioned it, but his part is pretty small, so I left it off.

I haven't seen Kill Zone or Ip Man 2, but loved the rest on this list.

Memories of Murder - movie based on events from a South Korean serial killer. Beautifully shot crime thriller. A good job building up the characters and the anxiety as the cops are try to catch the killer before he gets his next victim. Has it's funny moments, too. Thumbs up!!

So i watched Ip Man 2, and Flashpoint last night.

You were were spot on with both Adgy. I thought they were both pretty entertaining movies. The Bruce Lee scene at the end of Ip Man 2 was funny, and that scene towards the end of Flashpoint where Archer gets hit by the car, flies into the air and Ma shoots him so ridiculous yet so awesome.
