I’m happy to report that I’ve just purchased one of the best movies I’ve seen in the past year: Shaolin Soccer. Directed by Stephen Chow with kung-fu action choreographed by Ching Siu-Tung, this film simply rules. It’s action-packed, hilarious (yes, it’s a kung-fu comedy), and has an awesome story with great characters. It’s won best film and best director, among other awards, in Hong Kong, and deserves all the recognition.
I still haven’t seen it all the way through, since the DVD I watched with Ben and Jess a few weeks ago was scratched, so I can’t wait for my new purchase to arrive.
Shaolin Soccer is a must-see movie for anyone who likes good action and has any sense of humor. If you can find it at your local video store (don’t bother looking at Blockbuster), you must check it out. You won’t be sorry.

This was one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Crouching Tiger eat your heart out! There are many many many asian movies that are awesome, they have a matrix type movie released at least 5 times a year, and their horror is unique too… The Ring!
