Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

I have to be honest here, I watched this on BBC America more than six months ago and don't really remember that much of it. But regarding that spoiler:

I liked that Chris was able to live a...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

The Fall--Doesn't really go over any new ground (ie Police drama) but I did find this interesting. Sort of a slow burn of sorts. I liked Gillian Anderson as the main detective. I wish they'd...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

Watched Utopia (UK Series) the other day and I thought it was ok. I thought it was filmed very well but on some level I just couldn't connect to most of the characters. They''re set up well at the...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

I only watched the pilot but god this was awful for all the reasons listed. And the Saga was far more likeable and quirky than the Sonya character portrayed by Diane Kruger. I was irked too that...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

The Thieves (2012-Korea)--I finally watched this after buying this a few months ago. I thought this was a watchable film albeit very flawed. Some of the criticisms of flixtime are valid. This...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

For me anyway, a part of the problem is that some of these films are released in only native countries without any English subtitles. Now I have a source where I could probably get them custom...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

I still have to watch Himizu but isn't Guilty of Romance closer to Cold Fish or Love Exposure? I liked Love Exposure but found Cold Fish rather cold. They're both good films I just liked Love...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

flixtime,

Have you seen the Thieves? It's coming out on BD in a few weeks and I'm thinking of blind buying it since I love heist films. I've seen comparisons to Oceans 11 (Clooney version) and...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

So the second season was worse than the first one? I had a real hard time finishing off season one on Netflix. Too bad because the premise was interesting. When I finished watching Season one, I...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

Ok, since it was on Netflix, I watched the entire Season 1 of Spiral (aka Engrenages).

I think it does get better from episodes 5-8. But some of my criticisms are the same as yours. I find the...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

This is sort of general comment on Braquo but I really hated a couple of characters, the IA cop Vogel and Theo who is supposedly one of the protagonists that you are supposed to cheer for. It was...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

Watched Love Exposure the other day and found that it was great. The four hour run time didn't seem that long at all. It sorted reminded me of a Shakespearean tragedy set to film. It does...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

Finally watched Cold Fish directed by Sono. This is one weird film. It's marketed as a thriller but its a character study on the breakdown of the family structure in Japan. It reminded me of...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

I watched this yesterday and agree with some of what you posted. I found the structure interesting and a breath of fresh air when compared to the usual Asian revenge film genre. There are some...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

Funny when he went into the pharmacy in the prior scene, I thought he was going to be raiding the first aid kits since he was still recovering from the ankle injury.

I thought it was great how...

Has anyone seen "I saw the Devil" yet? It supposed to be really good.

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

Sorry my mistake, the name of the film was White Night and I've just seen it. It is an excellent movie. I'd say it had film noir tendencies. The main character reminded me of Eihi Shiina character...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

I'm thinking about doing a blind buy on "White Night and Secret". Anybody see it and can render an opinion?
