Azumi 2 (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I loved the first "Azumi", and although this film does have its moments within some of the action sequences, it falls short: too many "convenient" plot devices clutter the landscape, and villains seem more cartoonish than ever. "Azumi" fans will likely see this anyway, but don't have your expectations too high.

Disappointing after the phenomenal first entry in the series, but still enjoyable.
Mad Detective (product link) Drama / Crime One of those Hong Kong police thrillers destined for an American remake, "Mad Detective" combines the surreal with vivid drama to paint an unsettling landscape. Great performances and direction with an intensely powerful script create an original movie experience well worth your while.

One of the more original and engaging films from Hong Kong in recent years.
3 Iron (product link) Drama / Crime Beautiful in every sense of the word, this is highly symbolic tale of passion and the human condition. Long passages in the film are told visually, without dialog, relying solely on the talent of the actors, director and cinematographer, who shine brightly. Some might be confused by the metaphorical ending, but for those who seek intelligent entertainment and for students of film, this is a must see.
The King Of Masks (product link) Drama / Art A very touching story about family and sexual roles on par with "The Whale Rider". Well acted, well directed, and well scripted. I cannot recommend this film highly enough.
