"Death Note 1" is about a law student named Light. He suddenly becomes interested in the fate of criminals the police have been tracking. When he discovers how many go free, he starts to lose his faith in the law. This is when he finds a great gift: a book--and not any book, the Death Note book. Any person’s name that is written in the book will die. But as the death toll rises, the police get suspicious that the deaths are not accidental, and he starts to get carried away with the power of the Death Note. The story is good and the ending you will never predict.
"Death Note 2" continues exactly where "Death Note 1" leaves off. With this installment a new Note Book and a new death god, Misa Amane, a TV actress, finds the book and Light. Two books and two death gods working together for the vision of a new world. But her carelessness and ignorance get her captured. What will light do to avoid capture? Who will win the final round, Kira or L? Another great story with an fitting ending for a great series.

I am from China, and I like these movies. A friend ordered this set from HKFlix, and it has the best deal on it. I am a fan of Miyuki Komatsu as Policewoman Sanami. I plan to order my own copy soon.
Tom Yum Goong (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "The Protector" is a slightly above average martial arts film. If you love Muay Thai fighting styles, you will love the action in this movie. The story I think was rather thin: a Thai boy named Kham must find the people that stole his elephant. On the way, he stumbles upon a gang conspiracy, crooked cops, and some insane martial artists. The action scenes are good, but the story just seems to drag on and skew off in directions that have little to do with the main character.
I have not seen the short version - The Protector. Tom Yum Goong is not the best perhaps in script but you have to admit Jaa does things no one else has ever done!
The Young Master (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "The Young Master" is a wonderful film from Jackie Chan, where he plays Dragon, a student of Sang Kung's school of martial arts. In a contest with a competing school, his brother betrays their master and wins for there adversaries. After Sang Kung finds out, his brother leaves and Dragon goes on a quest to save his brother from crime lords that plan to manipulate him. He is faced with a rabid cop, the cop's son with a chip on his shoulder, and a master crime lord with very impressive martial arts skill. It is a very funny movie with continuous action. A great example of Jackie Chan's amazing skills.

I am sorry man, but 4 1/2 star, did you not see Jackie getting beat down like no other in the last part of this film? But the guy with the horse kung fu took the show away from Jackie. I believe that this movie is at least 3 stars for the horrible ending
"Operation Condor" is an awesome film. It is like "Indiana Jones" in Asian. It is full of awesome action scenes and a compiling list of characters. The story is based on Jackie Chan as a treasure hunter in search of Nazi gold hidden in a lost base in North Africa, where he encounters several groups also looking for the same treasure with no limits on how far they will go to get it. The story is good and the fighting is awesome. It is truly a great work for a man that can masterly mix action and comedy into a great piece of film.
The "Armor Of God" is the sequel to "Operation Condor". In this installment Jackie's history is revealed, as a young pop singer with a broken heart that leads him to a life as a treasure hunter for hire. This adventure centers around getting the Armor Of God, and rescuing his lost love from the good old days when he was in the band. He is accompanied by her present boyfriend and an expert with the Armor Of God. Will this mismatched team be able to save the Armor and their lives? This is a great addition and continues Jackie Chan's amazing mix of action and comedy.

Don't be suckered by the american switcharoo hackjobs! AOM is from 1986, and OC is from 1991!
Police Story (product link) Martial Arts / Comedy "Police Story" is, in my opinion, the greatest film that Jackie Chan has ever made. It is unbelievably funny and still maintains a very serious story: an elite police officer aids in the capture of a known crime lord. When the criminal gets off scott free and tries to frame Jackie for the murder of another police officer, Jackie must go beyond the law to save himself from jail time--all while trying to maintain a relationship with his girlfriend that is jealous of the key witness to his case that he is charged with protecting. This film is the funniest thing I have seen in years and boasts some of Jackie's most impressive stunts.

One of Chan's best if not his best. Incredible stunts

I never read the manga but nontheless the film is fantastic.

Innocence [2004] (product link) Drama / Mystery "Innocence" is one of the weirdest movies I have ever watched. To call this movie a mystery is an insult to the genre. After watching it I had more questions then answers. I don’t know much about France or its culture and that may be why I don’t understand the story or the symbolism the story contains. The story has an amazing amount of filler and as far as I can tell no actual ending or moral. I think this was a sick attempt by Lucile Hadzihalilovic to put naked little girls on film without going to jail.

I agree. If someone were to ask me about the story premise, i wouldnt know where to begin.
"The Host" is the story of a giant mutant that I believe is derived from a salamander. The story follows Park and his attempt to find his daughter after the monster attacks the water side restaurant they live in. When the military blocks off the area as a biohazard and arrests Park, Park has no choice but to break free from a military prison and fight the biohazardous mutant to save his daughter. I am trying not to give too much information, but with such little story it is hard.
I found the story to be fairly long and drawn out. I think they tried too hard to make the main character, which it would seem should be sympathetic, instead just pathetic and stupid. Also the way the other characters keep coming in and falling out of the story at what appeared to be random intervals makes them very hard to understand or care for. Overall a little bit of a disappointment from a film with I expected very little of.

I actually enjoyed the film much more than you, but I think all your points are valid, particularly that the film was way too long and that characters kind of came and went at random.
Cannibal (product link) Horror / Thriller I believe that "Cannibal" is overrated. If you want a bloody graphic nightmare, you will be greatly disappointed. The movie starts out with the whole "will someone let me eat them?" thing and then turns itself in to a gay porn for the next hour. Finally when we get some hope of a gruesome human-eating party; instead he complains about eating his friend. And when he finally does, it is so dark that you can’t see enough to tell what he is doing. Overall I was greatly disappointed.

Excellent review. The biggest shocker about this film in my opinion is how much people seem to like it. They're wrong. If this movie had a scrotum, I'd kick it. Hugs and kisses, the Bottle Kids!
Inside (product link) Horror / Thriller "Inside" is a total bloodbath. I pride myself on looking for the best and bloodiest of gore and this is one of the worst. The story is almost nonexistent. A women is nine months pregnant and awaiting the hospital to induce labor when she wakes up in the middle of the night to the doorbell and a mysterious woman that knows her entire life story. She has come for the child, scissors in hand, and not leaving with what she wants. The effects are well done and the story is very twisted--not for the faint of heart.

come on, I liked it too and found the violence in it shocking, but there were quite a few plot holes and stuff that would never happen in real life, these things really bothered me and made me enjoy it a whole lot less
Junk (product link) Horror / Thriller I have just finished watching "Junk" and I would like to say this is one of the best zombie movies I have ever seen. I have been a huge fan of George Remora’s work almost my whole life and a great fan of the genre, and "Junk" is one of the best. The story is actually pretty good if you over look some the typical themes like military experiments, a terrible accident and stupid people just asking to be eaten. The gore is pretty heavy in this movie and very well done. So all in all if you like zombie movies you will love this. If you don’t like zombies then get it anyway. I mean monsters, jewel thefts, and the yakuza--what could be better?

An offbeat zombie film, with great references to other zombie films & other genre of films.
The Eye 2 (product link) Horror / Thriller "The Eye 2" is an above average horror movie. After the first one I don’t think this one can compare to the original. The story is more about the Buddhist belief in reincarnation than anything else. The story is good with some big twist during the story and an ending you would never predict. The story is about a young girl named Joey. She is vacationing in Thailand and having problems with her boyfriend. She attempts suicide. When she awakens she soon learns that she is pregnant. That is when she starts to see the spirit of a strange woman. This does not seem to bother her much at first, until she sees the ghost suicide on the subway tracks. Now she has to find out the identity of the depressed specter in order to save her baby and herself.

"The Eye 2" fails where the first one succeeds. The film itself is overlong, and too predictable. It seemed as if the directors didn't even try to scare the audiece too, it just a sequel to make quick cash. Horror sequels often fail hard.
