How’s this for a premise?
A young girl accidentally dials the wrong number on her cell phone and is transported back in time to what appears to be feudal Japan in the midst of battles with warring wizards and vampires, all while trying to find a way back home and teaching the locals some dance moves. […]
ooh, an update
Friday, October 7th, 2005
Wow, this place is dead. Sorry. If you read my livejournal (and if I allow you access to the juicy tidbits), then you know exactly why. Meanwhile, I’ve been working on another blog - Wired Fu - to talk mainly about martial arts movies and to see if I can make a few bucks online. […]

My new, favorite Jet Li movie - and dare I say, martial arts movie - of all time may be Unleashed, or Danny the Dog depending on what side of the ocean you’re from.
This is definetely my favorite Jet Li movie in a modern-day setting, and it didn’t rely too heavily on computer graphics (a […]

I just watched the weirdest thing. It wasn’t the movie that was weird, it was the way I watched it - a French movie, dubbed in Thai, with English subtitles. Playing on my Japanese DVD player.
I just received my copy of Banlieu 13 (District 13) on DVD. It’s a French action movie taking […]

I unlocked my DVD player, so now it’s region free! I can watch nearly any DVD I want now, without having to wait for the North American Region 1 version! Sweet…
I’ve watched Ong Bak several times now, and I’m now window shopping at ethaicd.com, hkflix.com, and yessasia.com. Granted, any DVD I want will probably […]
Kung Fu Hustle…
Sunday, August 14th, 2005
I just finished watching Kung Fu Hustle, and I have mixed feelings about it. Though I did highly enjoy the movie, I wish it just stuck to either being a comedy (nixing the whole mute girl with the lolipop theme) or an action film (nixing the whole Looney-Tunes chase scene.)
In addition, I really wish we […]
last samurai
Sunday, May 22nd, 2005
So, after months and months just sitting there on the bottom of my “to see” stack of DVDs, I finally lifted all that weight off the Last Samurai DVD and decided to see it. Not bad. Not bad at all. A bit condescending at times though. There are a lot of reviews out there, so […]

The Defender
Dolph Lundgren and Jerry Springer in the same movie? It’s gotta be added to my collection!

While drooling over the martial arts section at Suncoast during lunch today, I discovered that I do not own every one of Jet Li’s movies. I believe this to be a great unjustice, and I must see to it that I attain the missing parts of the collection, in any format, be it DVD, […]
