The Perfect Valentine's Day Gift? CHOCOLATE of course!!!

Published at:  Feb 07, 2009 7:57:30 PM CST








Hey folks, Harry here... At FANTASTIC FEST last year there was a joyful film that made me about as happy as I could be. It's the simple story of a young Autistic Girl attempting to raise money to fight her mother's cancer... by using her Rain Man-esque Physical Memory of Kung Fu and other Martial Arts movies to help collect the money owed to her mom through a variety of illegal businesses in Thailand. There's a lot more to it, but it really is a story about a family with special needs that is just so fucking awesome. Forget Sarah Palin hunting defenseless animals with guns. This girl kicks bad mutherfuckers exploiting and holding out on her poor sick mother. The result... from the same crew behind ONG BAK is kind of fucking amazing. And this is seriously a film that I am absolutely beaming proud to have my name endorsing on the poster. Check out the imagery of this trailer...

    It was a great movie.

    by mavra chang

    The CoC has viewed and given the stamp of approval to Chocolate. It was not as over-the-top as Machine Girl(even though I thought that movie also rocked) and had a great story to go with the action.

    Movie is awesome

    by methosb

    Best fighting film in a long time. It is amazing the stunts they do. Some of the outtakes at then end have guys just falling off a roof onto concrete, hitting things on the way down. They must go through stunt men like crazy.

    Yeah, the political comments on this site sound like my son's freshman highschool classmates. Not saying they're right or wrong, just at a level of maturity where they don't really mean anything.

    So its Rain Man with martial arts? They should have gotten Hoffman to make a cameo.

    I'm going to be so glad when the next mental dis-ease comes along because I'm getting sick of everyone getting on the autism bandwagon, exploiting people with that problem. Just treat them like normal people. But on the other hand, if she's kicking ass, then I really don't know how to feel.

    by zinc_chameleon

    She's just what a lot of sci-fi, comic-book, and fantasy movies need: a real female martial artist. This is Chun Li, not Kristin Kreuk. I'll bet there are a few smart agencies bidding for her right now.

    A one-paragraph review...

    by lonegun

    ...with a brief synopsis of the film and some wildly irrelevant reference to Sarah Palin's policies toward wolf-hunting. But you assure us that this movie is both "f-ing awesome" and "f-ing amazing". Your reviewing style is getting better and better all the time, more economical and to the point. Someday, you'll have it down to two sentences: "Just saw ________. It was awesome!"

    If you're expecting "story" going in to this movie, you're gonna be let down. This movie is just all, fuck you fighting all day. The first 15 minutes suck cause no one is getting their shit kicked in, then it gets better. The acting is terrible, but I don't want to see these motherfuckers act. Let their blood and injuries do the talking!
