Mu Sa Do (2002)
Potentially very good, nice fight scenes.
I actually enjoyed this movie, for a low budget film the fight scenes were well acted out. This was done also with the inclusion of two Professional Mixed Martial Arts Fighters- Mauro Renallo and Alexi Zarjampour(who dies at the start of the film). I fought the film was very realistic in that the main male character - Suk Nam( Suk Woo Nam )could not defeat the two bodyguards of the Irish boss. I enjoyed the ending of this film, but I shall not say what actually happen's. However my main problem with this film, is moments of rubbish acting, I think if the director was more patient and asked for more out the actors, the film would have been a lot better. Also the lack of a good storyline brings the film down.However it will get a 9 out of 10 because its low budget and how realistic the fight scenes were.
Amigo no gima (2004)
Excellent
This is a short story about an old Spanish man, who is about to sell his shop in Barrio De Llavapies, in Madrid set in 2003 on the 1st of February. This film shows life from the viewpoint of two ethnic groups an immigrant who has a run in with an old white Spanish man who has racist views and is meant to one of the last white shop owners in this Barrio. I throughly enjoyed this film, it is in Spanish and arabic and mandarin however you can find this film subtitled in English as well. The film starts of with a Chinese New year parade in a multi racial part of Madrid called Barrio De Llavapes. The title of this film can be translated in English as Friends don't Groan(Amigos no Gima). The end of this film, is magical and shows how human nature can be good at times.
Trees Lounge (1996)
Run Tommy Run.
I gave this film a 9 out of 10, that was maybe abit generous. Anyway this film is one which i caught watching on British TV. I missed the first 20 mins of the film, so I'm looking for it it the shops to buy.This film was an excellent watch and Steve Buscemi should be given respect as this is as far as i know was his first film hes directed. Whats really great about this film, is there is no obvious plot it just flows. It is also quite funny but I think its much more of a drama. Samuel L Jackson and Mimi Rodgers also are in this film(probably supporting there friends first directed film). Chloe sevigny who plays debbie in this film offers some sexual tension in an ice cream van with Tommy (Steve Buscemi)that scene stays in the memory and the on screen chemistry between them is great.I'm quite rubbish at writing reviews, but this is good stuff and well worth a watch. :)
