MOVIES:

Kill Bill (2003)

You might rather prefer a new movie by Cheech & Chong, but Quentin Tarantino strikes back with his fourth movie and it looks really great. Kill Bill is an adaption of all movies of the Martial Arts-genre and some of the stuff in the trailer is just breathtaking. I mean, I don't see no wires here, but there must be wires somewhere! Another sort of definite look at an undead genre which has gotten a lot of attention lately with "Tiger & Dragon" and retro in general. Tarantino does it again. There's nothing cooler than Bruce Lee in "Enter the Dragon" or Jackie Chan doing what he does best and what films were invented for. Compared to things that have been done in Hong Kong-movies the past twenty years, a movie like "Spider-Man" is a complete joke. Or look at the cheesy "let's jump off a roof"-scenes in "Matrix"! It's all just plastic, popcorn, computer-gimmicks and action-figures jumping off roofs inside a computer. Yawn! Look at Jackie Chan, Andy Lau or Samo Hung? Do you think you could replace them easily with some CGI-action figure like you can replace Schwartzenegger with a piece of cardboard and nobody will know the difference? Do you really think so???

Asian cinema has always been filmmaking at it's very best. Sometimes they might lack the money Hollywood throws into a production like this, but asian cinema is a labour of love and not a sheme to sell a lot of toys.

You know what, Hollywood, take all the plush-dolls for the next couple of Star Wars-, Spider-Man- or Men in Black-movies and shove them up your asses really slow. Hmmm... Feels good, eh?
