But i also looove this kind of martial arts flicks. And especially this kind skilled martial artists. Tony is simply the best i've ever seen. Only other movies i've given top ratings are "Fellowship of the ring" & "Return of the king", if i'm not mistaking.

I also thought the coreography and camera work were over the top, all thanks to the director.
Pinkaew and Jaa should keep on working together. They need each other.

Like a Dragon (2007)
Somewhat Pulp fictional version a video game with many sub plots; this Takashi Mike film also covers many of his signature themes as Yakuza, bloodlust and cartoon like violence. But delivered an average entertainment ride. Though the baseball bat-wielding character of psycho mob Majima Goro was pretty funny. Above all, here the dvd comes with poor subtitles and mainly the English translation of those character names were hilarious...such as From Beautiful, One Horse, The Living, Water Wood. >>: C+

"Raging Phoenix" 4-5/10
Slow story and laughable choreography. Disappointing as the movie stars JeeJa Yanin (Chocolate) and has both Pinkaew (Ong-Bak, Tom Yum Goong) and Rittikrai (Born to Fight) as producers.

Matango: Attack of the Mushroom People (1963). Think Gilligan's Island meets Japanese horror meets an incredible knack to take an over-the-top silly idea and make it credible and you have Matango. At first glance, this might seem a silly Japanese B movie. Look again. This is a great character study on human nature, the desperation that starvation brings about, and the paranoia that becomes the human creature when the chips are down. The acting was fine, the direction solid. It's 1963 so for the time the effects were what you'd expect. The story itself was pretty good. The atmosphere was genuinely creepy. Had i seen this as a kid i probably would have been terrified. Overall a great Japanese horror classic. Ashe.
