movies from around the world
15:53:22 Aug 3rd 08 - Sir Darkmarsbar:

im a fan of films and have spent much of my life watching them. (lol i dont go out) i started watching films like the thing, the alien movies, predator when i was very young but i have grown tried all of the horse crap thats been coming out of hollywood so i looked at films from japan,china, korea and i was wondering if any VU players have done the same or are intrested in find out more about films from around the world.

there is alot out there and alot of it is good. you may also find that some of the hollywood movies you have watched are remakes of films from other countries i.e. The Departed is a remake of a hong kong film.

any way if u want a list of some good movies to check out then just ask and if you have watched a good film recently (hopefully not from hollywood) then talk about it here


15:56:11 Aug 3rd 08 - Prince Waldorfius Septim III:

Predator was awesome!!! Though it wasn't recent...Arnold, as always, had to kill a base full of enemies. He does that in like...every movie...

Billy! Lets go!!!

C'mon! Kill me I'm here, C'mon! Do it!

Go now! Get to the chopper!

If it bleeds we can kill it!

Stick around.

XD

Mr.samual


23:51:25 Aug 5th 08 - Sir Darkmarsbar:

lol

the film mongol looks good, i havent seen it yet.

i have seen zulu and starship troopser ( their are to sequals to it but they are *beep*)


01:44:33 Aug 6th 08 - Mr. Eirikr The White:

I watched Zulu on tv a few months ago. I missed the first third of the movie but i still enjoyed it quite alot. It was somewhat realistic and i believe that you will like it if you enjoy war movies.


02:36:51 Aug 6th 08 - Praetorian Wyzer:

Once Were Warriors - New Zealand - Very good and very realistic movie that delves into a dysfunctional family.  Alcoholism, Drugs, Gangs, Rape, are all contained in this movie, but there is a point to it, it is not just for show.

No. 3 - South Korea - Funny and upbeat gangster movie with scenes of extreme violence.  The title is about the "No. 3" man in the organization that does not like to be called "Gangster" or "No. 3".  Not much else to say about it.

"Unknown" - South Korea - In English the title was "Best Friends" but in Han Gul it was something else that I cannot remember.  I will update the name later.  It was about 2 friends with ambitions, yet all they could aspire to be were hoodlums.  One is a very good fighter, and moves quickly up the ladder of the gang he is in, while dragging his friend along.  I can't say much else as it ruins the movie.

Leon: The Professional - United States - Released in two versions, make sure to get the title listed.  If you get the American release version, it is highly edited.  It is about a orphaned girl teaming up with a hit man.  She tries to hire him, and ends up being trained by him.  Gary Oldman is at his best in this movie.  This was the movie that launched Natalie Portman's career.

Taxi - France - There are several movies with this title but this one is about a taxi driver who aspires to be a race car driver.  This movie has tons of action and some pretty awesome, yet over the top, stunts and some great driving.


10:41:52 Aug 6th 08 - Sir Chucky:

For a second I thought you were talking about the one with Jimmy Fallon and that one black lady. If you would've been I would have blown your brains out with a shotgun! o_O

Beijing Bicycle (chinese movie)

To Live (chinese movie)

Arn the knight templar (swedish movie)

15:24:24 Aug 14th 08 - Mr. Jim Morrison:

I totally agree the professional was a fantastic movie!


16:05:57 Aug 14th 08 - Mr. Samulis:

The only thing that I have to say is that New Zeland is the place where they filmed BOTH Lord of the Rings AND Narnia I & II, both have great battle sequences and lots of killing, but narnia is more for little kids, no ugly orks dark lords slaughering elves and humans alike.


16:06:47 Aug 14th 08 - Mr. Samulis:

Go New Zeland even though I have never been there!


17:18:07 Aug 14th 08 - Sir Darkmarsbar:

also the americans have made a version of it but it with stone cold steve austin and its crap


17:22:50 Aug 14th 08 - Mr. Death Proof:
