What movies have you watch recently or recommend watching? ( Japan, Korean, Chinese, Thai ETC. )
I've just finished watching a movie called "Chocolate" By the Director of "Ong Bak" and "Warrior King". If your a fan of the action genre I recommend watching this.

I just watched Karas: The Prophecy and Karas: The Revelation. They both looked beautiful and had a somewhat good plot thought some parts seemed to be cut out and left you wondering how much time has passed.

Yeah, I watched Oldboy years ago and immediately fell in love with it. Just finished watching the two other movies from the Vengeance Trilogy, being Sympathy for Mr Vengeance and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. I watched 3 Iron awhile ago with my girlfriend, which is a weird kind of love story.

Check out films like The man who was once called Superman (Korean movie/ dont know if I spelled the title right.)
Tampopo (Japanese movie about noodles a comedy)
Kikujiro (Japanese about a young boy looking for his mother that he doesn't remember. Comedy/ Drama it is very funny and yet sad too.)
Udon ( The movie. Japanese movie about a journalist traveling Japan to review Udon restaurants. Comedy/ Drama)
Kamikaze girls (Great funny movie yet weird..)
Check out all these movies... I'm not giving out any more information hehe.

For Korean movies I can recommend the Vengeance Trilogy of course and The Host. For Japanese movies definetly all Takashi Miike movies... all of them are masterpieces.

Chinese/Thai/Etc: Citizen Dog Made in Hong Kong IP Man Chunking Express 2046 Hard Boiled A Better Tomorrow
Yeah, I can keep going. <.< Huge fan of japanese cinema from 1950s-1980s. Really need to check out older korean films but they're hard to come by.

FYI The Americans are bastardizing Old Boy in hollywood this year..

I've seen A lot. I can't remember the names of most of them though. But i did see a mention of "Hard Boiled" here... For those who haven't seen it, do it. One of the best action movies ever.
