Bio: I have been collecting Foreign films for the past 23 years. My favorite of them all have been Shaw Brothers Productions. I am very happy that Celestial Pictures have been releasing the Old School Kung Fu films on DVD that I used to watch back in the 80's every Saturdays on channel 21 called "Kung Fu Theather". I prefer watching the original language with english subtitles because the english dubbed versions are so awful!. I look forward to more new releases from Celestial Pics.
Chocolate [2008] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure If you love Tony Jaa flix, then you're definitely going to love "Chocolate". This is a FEMALE version of Tony Jaa. Jeeja Yanin, the female star of this movie, is the next rising martial artist to arrive in the circuit. I put her in the top 5 along with Angela Mao, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi and Bridgette Lin.
Jeeja was born on March 31, 1984. She is the first woman of muay Thai on film. Her Movie “Chocolate” (2008) is from the makers of "Ong-Bak" and "Tom Yum Goong".

Turn Left, Turn Right (product link) Romance / Drama Another romantic film featuring the ever-talented and beautiful Ms. Gigi Leung and Japanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro. This movie reminds me of two Hollywood films called "One Fine Day" and "Sleepless In Seattle." The two characters seem to miss each other on screen until the end of the film. The movie was well acted and the two main actors spark when their on screen together.

He becomes an assassin who works for an ancient Chinese underground cult who follows orders to kill his own people (Japanese).

If you don't have a Korean flick in your foreign film collection, I recommend buying this one for your first Korean Film.
A+Life (product link) Romance / Drama The concept for this movie looked great. But unfortunately the script was bad and the editing process of this movie will leave you hanging in the end.
