What have you bought recently?

good score there loops, funnily enough i watched The Killer the other night, Woo really is the best Action director around, it's a shame he's not been allowed to bring his style fully to the US. I have the HKL mag version of City On Fire with Chow Yun Fat

[Pete]

I have never seen The Killer or City on Fire. The only JW films I have seen are Face/Off, Hard Boiled, Hard Target and Paycheck.

I had the HKL CoF SE but swapped it.

I really should check out his earlier HK films.

City on Fire was directed by Ringo Lam. Its basically the film which Tarantino ripped im homaged Reservoir dogs from. It's very cool. The Killer is probably my favourite john woo film, it's just so balletic in the gun battles and unlike most action films, it has a heart, it has a story of betrayal, friendship, love and justice. Plus the performances by Yun Fat and Danny Lee are fantastic. definately watch this loops you will not be sorry.

I knew Tarantino ripped it off, but for some reason I always thought it was directed by John Woo

Cheers PM, I might watch The Killer tonight or tomorrow.

[pedromonkey]

you should also check out Woo's first Action film A BETTER TOMORROW, because of that film hong kong cinema changed.

Picked up a few DVDs myself this week:

The Bronx Warriors Trilogy
The Last Horror Movie
The Manson Family
The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue
Saw V

Been looking forward to watching The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue for ages as it's one of the few Undead movies I've seen.

A Better Tommorrow and A Better Tomorrow 2 are also well worth checking out as examples of Heroic Bloodshed but I'd have to say that my favourite John Woo film is A Bullet In The Head.
