Red Heroine
Before there were Hong Kong movies, there were Shanghai movies. 1929’s Red Heroine is the only surviving silent kung fu feature from Shanghai’s golden age. The Devil’s Music Ensemble provides live accompaniment. Hopefully, they’ll tour. Wise Kwai has more information and a trailer.
Go To DMC!
Go to Detroit Metal City! Or at least go to the creditless opening for the anime series… and maybe the trailer for the same series.
Let The Right One In
In 1970s Sweden a bullied boy falls for a girl who’s been 12 for a long time. Enjoy elegant effects and nice winter shots in Let The Right One In.
Ong Bak 2: “Real Fight is Back!”
Tony Jaa lives in a mixed martial arts village, befriends the elephants and takes people apart in this new Ong Bak 2 trailer. He’s much better than Mowgli.
A Little More Weird Western
How about a little more of Kim Ji-Woon’s The Good, The Bad and the Weird, my favorite Western, weird or not, in a while. Look at Jung Woo-Sung ride! (And watch out for some horse-tripping).
