I loved The Man from Nowhere. I also really liked New World. It was pretty much the alternate storyline to Infernal Affairs. Worth a look IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rln9Hx_wPFw A Company Man was also decent and in the same vein as The Man from Nowhere, but not quite as good.

In a movie full of all kinds of badassery, this is a good one. Also, this ad was at the bottom the page.

Do you like Steven Chow movies? It's his most out there movie I've seen. It has a metric ton of his trademark wackiness while also being surprisingly dark and bizarre in scenes. It takes a little while to actually get moving but I really really liked it.

I'm not Indian and don't know poo poo about Bollywood, but I saw the trailer for Happy New Year and would like to see it with subtitles if it's available online anywhere. Or really any other over-the-top Bollywood films with English subtitles. Help me I have no idea what I'm doing.

They both have their charm, frankly. Also, the Dragon Dynasty DVD has both audio tracks plus a sweet Bey Logan commentary.

Just caught Circle on Netflix and I gotta say I was pretty entertained. It's the definition of low budget, a lot of the acting is just barely approaching passable, and it covers a lot of the same ground as other indies The Killing Room, Would You Rather and Cheap Thrills, but it's pretty quick at just under 90 minutes and manages to achieve something resembling a new idea with its thought experiment premise. I also appreciated that it stuck to its guns and showed the consequences of our Titanic Survivor Mentality brought to its logical extreme, portraying an entire planet populated only by pregnant women, children and meek, calculating beta males. Also it's got Rita from Dexter in it.

Yeah, it was definitely low budget, and not perfect, but worth a watch. Also, as far as the acting goes I noticed it getting better through the film as the bad actors playing the less significant characters got zapped  .

Circle opens with a Taggart Productions logo that made me view the whole thing through the lens of the knowledge that someone involved in its making was an earnest fan of Randian philosophy. I think the film is best viewed this way, because it makes a lot more sense.

Thank you to whomever recommended both New World and The Man From Nowhere. I felt like I watched the second coming of The Godfather Part II and Leon: The Professional, respectively, but still managed to walk away having experienced something entirely new and refreshing. That elevator fight scene in New World was perfectly shot and really put into perspective the tendency in American films to cut an action scene into 300 different shots. It was absolutely a breath of fresh air. I definitely cried more than once during The Man From Nowhere and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

In desperate need of a Halloween fix, I watched The House at the End of Time last night since it's been on My List seemingly forever, and I'm glad I did. It certainly rewards a viewer who plays attention, not only because there are subtitles, but also because the plot !!!BIG SPOILER!!!loops very similarly to a movie like Triangle or Primer. Once you figure out what's going on, the horror aspect loses some steam, but nonetheless it's a good story and worth your time.

No doubt about both of those. I just keep saying to myself "where the eff is this going??" And it's enough to keep me hanging on. Had to turn it off because the wife fell asleep but still wants to finish it.
