 | |  | |  Kung Fu Hustle (see film details)
Comedy / Action/Adventure
Extremely entertaining movie. Funny, good special effects, decent fighting. It combines so many of the mystical powers from the kung fu movies before it. The special effects and comical parts are a little over-done in spots. The fighting is pretty good, and I could still watch this movie over and over again and enjoy it.

| | | |  Infernal Affairs (see film details)
Drama / Crime
Awesome movie. Tony Leung is great. Full of suspense. If you plan on seeing "The Departed" (the U.S. movie based on "Infernal Affairs", which sticks very close to the story), check out this one first. But the twists in "The Departed" aren't as powerful after you've already seen "Infernal Affairs".

| | | |  Jiang Hu [LE 2-Disc Box] (see film details)
Action/Adventure / Crime
This is a Hong Kong gang movie. I kind of like Ekin Cheng, so I got this. I didn't like it. If you don't like the gangster-style movies, you probably won't like this one.

| | | |  Xanda (see film details)
Action/Adventure / Martial Arts
Better than I expected. I don't like boxing much and know nothing about the sport xanda, but this was still good. I love Tsui Hark, so I had to check this out. It can be compared to a Chinese version of Rocky. Xanda had a good story, pretty solid characters that I could get into, and the action wasn't too bad. I love the traditional kung fu stuff, but this was still entertaining.

| | | |  Police Story 2 (see film details)
Martial Arts / Comedy
Definitely not one of my favorite Jackie Chan movies. A little old for my taste (I like the early-, mid-90s stuff), and not the greatest action.

| | | |  Cyclo (see film details)
Drama / Art
A very well done and (seemingly) real movie, but pretty depressing. I didn't really read the description before buying it, but I thought it was just a love story between Tony Leung and a Vietnamese girl. I can see why it won some international film fest awards, but then, most of the movies that win those awards are a little strange and mostly sad.

| | | |  New Police Story (see film details)
Action/Adventure / Martial Arts
I was disappointed. I had read that this was Jackie Chan's best movie in a long time, but I didn't like it very much. A little too dramatic.
| | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! | | AGREE? | READER COMMENTS | AUTHOR | | Y | Like many of Jackies later films, this one follows a familiar pattern: strong begining, boring middle and terrific ending. Three stars is about right for this one. | William Giordanella |

| | | |  Azumi (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure
Weak action. This reminds me of one of the new style movies with singers (non-actors and actresses) in the main roles. These kids had no business being in a swordplay movie. If you're looking for good martial arts action, don't watch this one.
