Hi all, long time-no posts! Haven't had much time to keep track of all that goes on here but I keep coming back to try and catch up This time, I have a message I'd like to get out. Went in search of a bit of culture this weekend and found myself seeing the chinese movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It was nominated for a whole mess of academy awards here in the US and I wanted to know what the hubbub was about. Now I do. It was so amazing, I found the time to see it twice! The fight choreography was intense. I strongly urge people to see this movie, especially if you want to know more about the class Monk. It would prob'ly make a great date movie too since it has a good love story in it. A couple of warnings (not spoilers): it is subtitled. (It definitely didn't deserve the cheesiness voice-overs would have brought.) Keep that in mind when considering it for a date. And remember that the chinese love their metaphores! It's not a bad thing, it just makes you use your brain.
Anyone who has seen it, I'd love to hear your opinion......
