Bichunmoo (DTS)

Korean film I just rented from Red Hot Videos.
Better story than Hero or HOFD.
Kulang lang sa cinematography.

Yeah true..I liked it too. I thought it was better than HOFD and Hero. The story was much easier to chew and the CGI and production value, WOW!!! It puts Philippine cinema 20 years behind.

I second the motion! This movie instantly knocked out HOFD and Hero in my best foreign movie list.  :)

I heard that this was the most expensive Chinese film ever produced.

also try kino's munchausen {1943}, the original german epic version,


 it's already colored and remastered, it was a big box office hit in germany when its originally released and banned until the 1970's
