Friar — Yeah, Big Trouble is really weird and very 1980s! I just saw it as part of my VHS revolution.

Heh!

Big Trouble in Little China.

I had almost forgotten about that one.

That was an AWESOME movie!!

Though hardly anyone under 30 really knows about it.

I can’t say it’s “the best” Brazilian film but it is one my “most favoritests” of favorites of all foreign films I’ve seen so far: “The Man Who Copied.” I love the setting and enviroment, the characters are great, and I love the story and how it’s told. I forgot who I found out about it, but I’m glad I found it. I’d like to visit a lot of places in South America, and movies like this are sometimes the cause of this desire.

t.sterling — I have only seen a few Spanish and Brazilian films — they were intense and excellent. I too would like to see much more of those. I’d like to go there as well.

Interesting timing for me to read this post, I’m about to watch The Forbidden Kingdom. It’s been sitting on my table for the past two weeks and I think I need to watch it so I can go rent something else.

I’m not a huge fan of the Asian flicks, but I pick some up here and there if they are recommended to me. That documentary sounds nice, so I’ll have to look out for that DVD. As for the film festival, it’s not exactly a block away from my house, but sooner or later I’ll get to attend these events.

In the way of foreign films, I’m like some Brazilian films or some that are in Spanish. But we’re talking about Asian films… Kung Fu Hustle is the only thing coming to mind that I really liked. I was in a bad mood at the time and that comedy just cheered me up.

Yeah, once you start thinking about it, there are so many excellent Asian influences in cinema. I think no one does horror as terrifyingly as Japan.

Thanks Jaden! I check out the HOLLYWOOD CHINESE website and it looks like an intriguing documentary. Although many don’t like foreign flicks, I like them because they provide us with a different view of the world. Asia has had a great influence on our film industry. Look at Jackie Chan and Jet Li. My favorite Chinese flick is FEARLESS.
