The Martial Club (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Nice fight choreography from Liu Chia Liang, but not enough of it and a bit too light hearted for my taste. Still a fun ride.
Contour (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Umm...no...sorry this doesn't do it for me. Sure, it's good enough if you don't mind a few athletic people who were sitting around at home who decided to make a movie using their old camcorder and a couple of trampolines, but that's not what I pay to see. A cool piece of footage if they made it for free viewing on YouTube, but not to sell on DVD.

With the limited budget this project had, the stunts and martial arts action still rivals anything hollywood pushes on us- like editing thats so bad you can't comprehend any of the fighting techniques on screen-image what they can do with a mega budget
I actually just watched this film again last night and was even more impressed this time around. The fights and camerawork are truly incredible, whether you consider the budgetary constraints or not. It's a phenomenal achievement in martial arts cinema.
Tom Yum Goong (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Superb new school action from Tony Jaa. His fight scenes are truly innovative and groundbreaking--on par with "Kill Zone". However I simply cannot give it a higher rating because of all the melodrama regarding an elephant. In other words, I needed a more important subject matter to totally get into it.

Melodrama? Those were not just elephants, they were family! You need to consider the culture of the film you are watching. It doesn't matter if the viewer likes elephants the cast and characters do!
