#PeakyBlinders S6 4 yrs late but finally done. 6 epi of a lot of things going down. Didn't really feel engaged with the first 3 episodes so kept rewatching & losing interest over the years but goddamn the latter 3 is just full of heavy emotional baggage w/ loss & family.
dang it's a new Bae Sung-woo joint w/ directorial debut of Park Chul Hwan? (who's only done tv so far?)

dang
I dont think I've seen any Chen Kai Ge beside monk comes down
really gotta change that
but dayum these King of the Children, hurting the wallet.
with VS' Zhang Yi Mou Ju Dou, just noticed that World Cinema Library released Yellow Earth last month
63"26 #Pegasus a CNY joint back in '19 so it's forgivable that there's more scrambling around than racing here. Teng Shen & his crew has decent enough chemistry while working their way back from their suspension but narratively I felt nothing about his redemption beyond words.
What do you mean there's no NA release of his movies?!
Here's hoping kokuho gets some boutique to put together a boxset.
I'm not crazy right? Someone tell me I'm wrong and I can get more of his movies on disc
this is the plan for saturday but simply a plan:
Hoppers
Protector
Peaky Blinders
King's Warden
Bride
62"26 #KraventheHunter how do you get Richard Wenk to write (equalizer 1-3) & delivery this? Some of the literal lines & delivery was so bad that they should've done more takes. The "power of the jungle" was a lot of scampering around & never looked "cool" with its lightweight cg
#Shelter dropping on disc April 21~
61"26 #OnceWeWereUs 14 yr age gap & yet Koo Kyo Hwan feels & has the chemistry of a peer with Mun Ka Young. Having the past in color & the present in b/w was a choice that worked unexpectedly well as the hope & joy was figuratively & literally stuck in the past. Decent sadmance
60"26 #TigerCage2 Yen action is a solid time but I'm glad other folks got their action time to shine. The humor is a surprise & jarring but it actually works. A much more realized all around movie compared to 1. The trio's chemistry is a solid time. Not enough C Khan tho.
Another one the board 2026
#ProjectY
59"26 #ProjectY a vibe film & dependant on if you love these two women. Han So Hee & Jeon Jong Jeo are different faces of the same coin here. The heist is whatever & the "action" is Jeong Young Ju who is great. Just seeing the two of them share screens makes me very forgivable.
58"26 #SheShootsStraight it's 25 yr old CarinaL, goddamn I was not aware of her action chops. Joyce Godenzi is on another level with her moves & screen presence. 92 mins fly by & action is just top notch. There should be 5 of these. Corey Yeun: direct, story, stunt w/ Sammo = ๐ฅ
57"26 #Kokuho rd 3. The soundtrack literally brings me to tears. The kid stuff was more endearing to me cause of foresight. Wish I could go bigger screen & sound. Caught more of the micro expressions when they were performing. It's just such a story of so much tragedy & sacrifice
56"26 #BestoftheBest goddamn, its 20 yr old Sammi (debut) w/ 31 yr old Jacky w/ decent chemistry. This is Herman Yau's 3rd joint. Its surprisingly drama heavy with a couple who both have daddy issues. The action is serviceable. I wouldn't mind more of this drama romance from HY
hot damn
The Bride with White Hair 1+2 Limited Edition Boxset - Type A White Cover
for 167 USD from MLIFE
55"26 #BladesoftheGuardians rd 2. Sound design in this is just so good. The hits are so felt. Ci Sha is so good being a total pos. Shu's humor is much more apparent this time. Just found it hilarious that in the vast desert people keep popping up randomly at the right place & time.
shiet
amazon is feeling the lack of heat for volume 4 or something?
this is a drastic price cut so quickly

Tiger on the Beat 1&2 incoming shout release in April~
Welps
That was my Saturday viewings. How was yours? ๐
Finally did it
Watched all the released so far Qin Peng Fei joints.
54"26 #OnceUponaTimeinChina 81 mins of pretty pedestrian stuff from story, writing, acting, to "action". Wonder what Qin Peng Fei even do this round. Hua Tong tries to tap into her inner Sherlock but it never goes anywhere. The ensemble acting is tonal whiplash throughout.
Whoa same for youku youtube as well.
Good job. ๐ฅ
Whoa. Iqiyi woke up. Their YouTube channel thumbnails aren't full of ai slop anymore.
53"26 #FuriousAttack 77 mins & its Andy On going from stage to stage like a fighting game to beat on comically badly scripted characters. The fights are fine enough with some good hits & good reaction shots. The actual choreography feels like something out of a Statham joint.
52"26 #FisttoFist feels longer than 90 mins with all the talking & flashbacks. Narratively it has all the right pieces: group out for revenge, cop buddy trio, potential action but it never gets there. There is action but lackluster & not enough. All smokescreen vibes & not enough
