Ip Man (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure You can read the other reviews for more info. I love martial arts movies and this is the best of the modern stuff. Still love the Shaw Brothers but this is impressive.

Yep, great flick, hope we'll see more like it soon!
Sukiyaki Western Django (product link) Action/Adventure / Western Just a bit too grim for me. A nice idea, though. At times a Spaghetti Western in Japanese, but never a Western.

Your being too nice 3 stars . Lets be honest this movie sucked.
Azumi (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Overly harsh and not so engaging. I felt like I had seen it all before in other films about vengeance and young swordswomen.

Amen. This movie is so much like dozens of other, I can't understand the kudos heaped upon it. It certainly doesn't win them for originality or plausibility. The female lead is the only thing this movie has going for it.
The Warlords (product link) Action/Adventure / War I liked the old Shaw Brothers "Blood Brothers" much more. Most of this movie is so grim and gray in palette that I had a hard time getting through it. Jet Li does a good job. Andy Lau is the wooden actor, as usual.
Install (product link) Drama / Comedy A strange movie to my eyes. Very well done, and the end twist gives it more meaning. It is difficult to do a movie such as this, where internet sex and kids' lives collide, but it is done tastefully. The lack of grown-up adults in these kids' lives makes their plight even more poignant. Thought provoking, and I did have worries about the trajectory of the younger boy, more than the teenage girl. I would watch this one again.

I didn't even have the patience to finish this. Boring.
Legend Of Seven Monks (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure [Note: This review refers to the US DVD by Westlake.] Watching the film, I felt like I was missing something. More like a TV movie. I was disappointed until I watched the "Behind the Scenes" bonus. I believe this movie is over edited (only 92 minutes). While there are some interesting scenes involving the two superstars, it is choppy, and not very coherent in terms of the younger actors characters and plot flow. Even the filmographies and biographies of Chiba and Kurata are truncated to a laughable degree. A big disappointment except for the "Behind the Scenes" which hints at a much bigger movie.
