Anytime you wake up in a hotel hungover with chickens chirping around and a tiger in the bathroom, there might be a problem. The movie is one of the funniest movies in the last year, and it deserves all the hype. It was an "A" all the way to the end, and then the end credits, puts it up to an "A+". haha, Ed Helms is a funny, funny man.

Wait? Another movie about a Chinese Kung-fu master kicking ass during the Sino-Japanese war? Another hero that goes from riches to rags? It does seem so, while this might be seen as a carbon copy of 2006's Fearless, the movie does excel in similar ways too: the choreography and the lead character (Donnie Yen). I'm giving it an extra star because I used to practice Wing Tsun, and it's always nice to see wooden dummy techniques on the screen again. Too bad it makes the Chinese folks hate the Japanese folks again, reigniting old wounds.

My favorite Tsui Hark film. The story's about a kid who doesn't know what he's getting into, but compelled by the fact that he's becoming a father soon, he tries to get as much money as he can quick. A movie about hitmen, hong kong, and going with the flow.

If there's one movie to watch out of Japan, it would be this one. Not to mention, it's quite funny at times.
