Movie tips

Hey guys,

My friend's know that my movie 'game' (or selections) is pretty strong so I'm going to hook  you guys up with some good movie suggestions.
Today's theme is going to be Asian movies (There are no  Bruce Lee films because I want to focus on movies you probably never seen before)
  1. Battle of the Warriors- this could be possible the best film in regards to military/leadership principles I ever seen...here is the netflix description-Tension swirls in ancient China as the evil Zhao commander Xiang Yan-zhong (Sung-kee Ahn) sets his sights on conquering the small city-state of Liang, where the residents would be otherwise defenseless if it weren't for the valiant warrior Ge Li (Andy Lau). Jacob C.L. Cheung (Hero) directs this epic action-drama based on the popular Japanese manga, based in turn on a Japanese novel about China's Warring States Period.
  2. Ong Bak 2- This film is a little confusing (imagine a Tarratino film to the 3x power) but the fight scenes may be the best you ever seen..trust me. Tony Jaa is going the next big thing....here is the netflix description-Tien (Tony Jaa), the son of Lord Sihadecho -- a tragically murdered nobleman -- goes under the wing of Chernang (Sorapong Chatree), a renowned warrior and leader of the Pha Beek Krut who teaches Tien a variety of deadly fighting styles. Now a master of weapons and combat, Tien seeks out those who slayed his family. Jaa also directs and Sarunyu Wongkrachang co-stars in this martial arts thriller set in 15th-century Thailand.
  3. Please Vote for Me- I already spoke about this awesome documentary in the past. Its a great film about a 3rd grade class elections in China.
  4. Master of the Flying Guillotine- Probably the best 'kung-fu' flick of all time , this movie has inspired video games and other films. some of the production quirks are kind of funny and you can even spot the film makers views about other Asian countries in you look closely and the villain weapon maybe the craziest 'bad guy' weapon of all time....here is the netflix description-A man called the Master of the Flying Guillotine (Kam Kang) is hired by the government to singlehandedly crush an uprising from an opposition led by a one-armed boxer (Wang Yu). Mind-bending action (and hilarity) ensues in this Hong Kong martial arts classic. Yu directs this favorite of grind house connoisseurs like Quentin Tarantino that features a retro electronic soundtrack and arguably the most notorious weapon ever seen on film.
  5. Take Out- This movie is so realistic you often think you are watching a documentary. Its an eye opening experience to see what Take-out workers go through...Here is the nextflix description-When an illegal immigrant (Charles Jang) finds himself behind on a large debt due to crooks who smuggled him into the country, he must come up with the payment in one day by hustling tips as he delivers Chinese food around New York City. Shot in vérité style, this provocative and grimly humorous look at a day in the life of the working poor also stars Jeng-Hua Yu and Justin Wan and was nominated for the John Cassavetes Independent Spirit Award.

I have to finish up so I don't have time to tell you about the Triad Elections (Chinese mafia flick), The Forbidden Kingdom (Jackie Chan/ Jet Li), 5 Deadly Venoms (Classic), Curse of the Golden Flower (Beautiful cinematography) and the Yun Chow-Fat films.

Peace,
