It is no surprise that they are re-releasing this treasure and keep it in production. It holds up to anime techniques and style of even modern times which borrow many thems and techniques that have roots to this film. The legendary Jubei swordsman is an ongoing theme in many anime stories and this one is no different. Pitted against enemies with the power of traveling through shadows and skills of changing their skin to stone. It is simply one of the most frenetic displays of action anime of such a period of ninjas. Naruto fans of today who have never seen this one would be pleased with this timeless thrashing classic.

Realistic dragonballz

Baki is the son of the strongest man in the world but purposely raised to be his fathers opponent. In doing so, he must learn every type of challenge to excel for that one day to face his father. In his journey, you will see and share many matches of just extremely violent and testosterone driven scenes. In the very beginning as a child you will see him challenge 100 street thugs just for training. The animation quality varies but overall does a good job. What it is good at like the dbz formula is to grow and beat enemies even when it is one that is not necessarily ones you can touch. There are countless battles of crossing styles such as grappling vs boxing and many more. It takes you for a *OUCH* and cringe ride to the very end only to see the series end unsatisfyingly. But everything up to that is a great way to see some UFC.

Stunning artwork

This mysterious sci-fi apocolyptic anime is best described as a cross betweet "Ghost in the Shell" and "Lain" (which is amongst my highest compliments in anime as they have long been high benchmarks in the industry) The story is about a time in the near future wear technology is fused with humanity to the point where that fine line is blurred to the point where its difficult to determine where one starts and ends. The story makes some questioning of if one is even human anymore. And you can't help but imagine that how close we could end up like this in the near future. The stylistic approach to every frame with interesting angles is a fresh perspective that kept me glued. Good pacing and minialmistic ominous soundtrack really puts the clever story telling to a different level. It has mature undertones and should appeal to all those who can appreciate deeper thinking anime and those who enjoy this gem, will be rewarded with stunning visuals.

So much fun it hurts my stomach
on September 18, 2007

from boston, MA
I havent laughed so hard or had so much fun watching an anime since the likes of Project A-ko with randomness and action comedy. The premise is 3 aliens who came to conquer the earth that is if they can even survive long enuff on earth with their constant battle to just to find ways to fill their stomachs. The alien leader leaves the task at hand up to two cutesy girls that have a knack for failure. This anime pokes fun of so many japanime genres and even includes the artist of the show in the film itself! It is pure ridiculousness at its best pet.

gritty fights
on September 14, 2007
Posted by: yudesign
from boston, MA
Donnie Yen is the hottest martial artist for Hong Kong films in recent years. You may have noticed him from films like the "Shanghai Knights", "iron monkey" or even more iconic was the battle with jet li in "once upon a time in china" His choreographic knowhow even landed him in Hollywood's "Blade 2"
This movie brings a heightened sense of realism and darkness that is the trend brought about since "Infernal Affairs" The story is good enough to keep it together, but what people are after is the face off of Sammo Hung and Jacky Wu (both huge veterean talents in the industry) There is a bit more blood than previous fight films and a frenetic energy that suggests the film can't even capture the speed of their fights. The stick vs knife fight is just jaw dropping.

guns dont kill people... daggers do
on September 14, 2007
Posted by: yudesign
from boston, MA
3 huges asian superstars give you a rich colorful poetic action romance film begging to be showed off on any big screen. The melodrama is kept to a minimum to make room and forge the story of a clan called the House of flying daggers who are a threat to the government. There are nice twists that keep this from being a simplistic good vs evil no brainer. Although this is a period film, there is a decent amount of sharp special effects making knive throwing very cool.

reinventing the series
on September 14, 2007
Posted by: yudesign
from boston, MA
The original police story was in the 80s and it stopped at police story 4 (aka supercop) made in the 90s. Jackie's busy schedule with Hollywood yielded forgettable titles like Tuxedo and Around the world.... Much criticism from his fans that suggest that he doesnt have what it takes anymore perhaps sparked motivation to go back to Hong Kong and reinvent the series that made him a superstar. A darker, contemporary feel (inspired w/ an Infernal Affair flair) updates the series perfectly. He does what Christian Bale did for Batman. Jackie shows that he is still a force to be reckoned with. A tight story and good balance of action makes all fans cry for more.

still kicking!

Marked as Jet Li's last martial arts film, much effort was put into it. From casting an aray of martial arts talent inclusive of (Collin Chou - Oracle's asian bodyguard in Matrix) and the giant that topples over in "Troy" by Brad Pitt's blade. Action choreography was also handled by the master Wu Ping. And inspired by true life story, Jet plays a martial artist that has lost his way through his quest to be the best. Some of the best wushu styled moves caught on film.

action comedy to new heights (literally)
on September 14, 2007
Posted by: yudesign
from boston, MA
After the first receptive directoral debut of Stephen Chow with Shaolin Soccer, he trumps himself with an even more polished high production film with Kung Fu Hustle (originally named just "Kung Fu") Relentless gut busting comedy with Wu Ping (matrix choreographer) knowhow wielding some of the most amazing stylized fights with a comic book flair. Stephen shamelessly borrows and pays tributes to many of his heros of his time. Original 5.1 soundtrack is not available through the ps3 as a player only a 2.0. And english dub is available is my only gripe. This an entertainer for all ages.

versatility

When you are ready to get serious about home theater, you have to invest in a great reciever. After all it is the heart of your whole entertainment system. What attracted me to this unit was the hdmi and upconverting capabilities. Adding on the usb reading, ipod doc capabilities, and even xm radio compatibility were all just nice extras. Its refined heavy duty metal finish minamilistic look will class up any room whilst performing top notch at pretty much everything but cook you dinner.
