Can this be a catch-all thread for Asian films? I'm living in china right now so I'm trying to see a movie once in a while if there are English subs. I saw Jackie chan's Zodiac 12 last month and it had some cool action scenes, but was pretty preachy about anti-looting of relics (as if that's a major issue these days). I know the gov't gives extra money or makes less red tape or something if you're preachy, but this seemed to drag out a while. Maybe it just seemed bad because I was still really hung over and kept having to puke every 30 mins.

Speak of movies in china, Skyfall was just as pretty as the 3 times I saw it in the states, and the only scene cut was the assassin killing 2 security guards. I heard the Chinese subs didn't mention torture or prostitution though. Cloud Atlas was butchered though, with 25% cut for no good reason. Jack Reacher comes out here in few days, I wonder what they'll cut. Same with Hobbit, it comes a week later.

Just popping in for 1 more quick China post.

Couldn't find articles about censorship of these movies:
Saw Jack Reacher last week and didn't notice any censorship, but I didn't see it in America to compare. Good movie, looked nice on a big screen.
Saw The Hobbit twice this week, again didn't notice any censorship, but nothing to compare.


We have Les Mis and Dredd coming out this week, and I did see Dredd in the states so if I notice any censorship I'll edit this post.

Anyone know of any Chinese movies with English subs out now/soon?
