Chocolate [2008] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure It's a good debut for Jija Yanin, playing the role just fine, and I look forward to her next feature before dubbing her the female Tony Jaa. She handles some of the fighting scenes really well--I couldn't help but notice maybe they could've edited them to look a little bit smoother. Some have complained the story is weak, I thought it was better than average for a martial arts movie though I will admit there was an element lacking to somehow call it a story. Nevertheless it served to string all the action set pieces together just fine. I still would recommend this film to take a peek at Jija. Hope she knocks it out of the park next time!
I agree it could of been a lot smoother- but it did pull out on nice action sequences. hopefully Miss Yanin next picture will showcase her talent more.
Infernal Affairs (product link) Drama / Crime The modern Hong Kong classic! You can't ask for more. Despite the American "remake", "Infernal Affairs" is still the superior version and will stand the test of time as the film that breathed new life into the stale cops/triads genre Hong Kong cinema is known and loved for. Tony Leung and Andy Lau are as perfect as can be as opposing moles in the triads and police force respectively. Also of note are Anthony Wong and Eric Tsang as their bosses.

Yep a modern HK classic, it's great. I love "The Departed" I just think it's overrated for being the best pic of the last year.

The Films Of Alejandro Jodorowsky [LE 6-Disc Set] (product link) Drama / Art A great overdue compilation from an eccentric like Alejandro Jodorowsky. The prize here is "Holy Mountain". You will not see another movie like this in your lifetime. Also the transfers on both "El Topo" and "Holy Mountain" are pristine.
