dodgers won ... thank goodness. i'm not going to lie ... darth, skimmy, la sport guy and i were sweating it out until the very end.

i'm back on my chinese movie kick. i watched shaolin soccer and this cheesy but sweet chinese romance called love undercover. however there are three movies i would like to see but when they will be released in the US is a mystery to me:

house of flying daggers: the good - directed by zhang yimou who brought you hero, visually stunning, decent story; the bad - zhang ziyi (crouching tiger, hidden dragon) i really do not like her as an actress, she always have to play the brat and i'm sure she is one in real life as well. ugh she was such a bug in hero. click on the link if you want to see a trailer for the movie.

clean: the good - maggie cheung, this is such a different role for her to play and yet i fully believe she can pull it off. she plays a druggie whose husband has OD and she gets blamed for it, after she gets out of prison she tries to get her son back but only after she gets clean . oh and did i mention she got best actress for her role at Cannes this yr; the bad - well not compleley bad but nick nolte is in this film (???).

2046: the good - directed by wong kar wai one of my favorite directors, tony chiu wai leung my favorite actor and big time cutie, faye wong from chungking express i really like her as an actress but i must admit i have not seen her in too many films, a cameo of maggie cheung; the bad - supposely the story is weak and again zhang ziyi is in this film. blech. another link for more info but it's in french.
