Watched a crazy good movie last night

Ok...I'm not a huge fan of foreign films. In my younger days I all but refused to watch them...I don't prefer to read my movies. But there's a few really good flicks coming out of China, Taiwan, and Japan these days so I'll bend my rules a little. So I watched this movie called "Shaolin Soccer" last night. I had little to no knowledge of it but man did it kick ass. It's about a bunch of Shaolin kung fu masters who want to bring kung fu to the masses and decide to enter a soccer tournament. The wireworks and special effect are absolutely nuts. The subtitles were done so horribly it made it even more hilarious. This has been out in Asia for quite a while and will be opening in the states in the future in limited release. I urge you to watch the original version before it's horribly redubbed for American audiences who are too lazy to read subtitles (I know I usually am...but if it's a good movie then subtitles are the ONLY way to go...you lose so much of the effect in an overdub). It's a hilarious flick with tons of crazy mega kung fu action.

Not yet...and I'm not sure it'll show up in KC at all. Maybe at the Tivoli or some arthouse theater. I don't see it hitting AMC or Cinemark. I said screw it and just dl'ed it.

Kazaalite. It was pretty fast but the quality wasn't outstanding

You can catch the trailer for the Americanized version on Apple.com in the quicktime trailers section.

This term I was taking a class called History through film and we focused on the topics of de-colonization (sp?) so a few sub-titled movies came up. I loved pretty much every movie they showed us!
