Watched a shitload of movies the past two days

God of Gamblers 3: Back to Shanghai - A wonderful capper to the trilogy that started with Chow Yun-Fat and continued and ended with the great Stephen Chow. Even the great Gong Li turns in a surprisingly comedic performance as a retard.

The Hand: The first short film of eroticism in the three-pack of short films titled "Eros." I didn't bother ripping the other two short films (heard they sucked the big one). But this one, oh man. Can Gong Li get hotter than she already is? I wish this movie was longer though.

Fallen Angels: The "sequel" to "Chungking Express" if there ever was one. Despite great performances from Leon Lai, Takeshi Kaneshiro (Wency says that he wish he could look like this guy), Charlie Yeung, Karen Mok, the true star in the film belongs to Michelle Reis who plays the mega-mega hot killer's agent (Leon Lai). The scenes were she was masturbating were so hot the screen could have melted.

2046: The finale to the trilogy that started with "Days of Being Wild," continued with "In the Mood for Love," has ended here with Chow Mo Wan (the incomparable Tony Leung Chiu-Wai) having sex with as many women as possible. He's exhausted his love with Su Li Zhen (Maggie Cheung) and never loves again despite him kissing and/or having sex with Gong Li AND Zhang Ziyi. His final words to Zhang Ziyi's character were definitely harsh ("I'll never lend myself to anyone"). Can Wong Kar-Wai do no wrong? Here's hoping his film with Norah Jones is at most as half as good as this.

From Beijing with Love: Stephen Chow as a James Bond type character who can't shoot for shit but man can he use a butcher's knife! Fucking funny as hell but man was there too much violence for me to handle.

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby - Man, this movie could have been great. It's so sad that I just didn't find this THAT funny. It wasn't even close to being funny to the 40 Year-Old Virgin or even Anchorman. It did have some great lines though given by Borat himself, Sacha Baron Cohen ("Hakuna Matata BITCHES!!").

Accepted: Sure, the movie is cliched. Yes, there are super-hot girls. But man, this movie was definitely entertaining and not over-the-top like Talladega Nights. Adam Herschman and Jonah Hill stole the fucking show though.
