Merry Christmas... Here's a badass trailer for THE WARLORDS with Jet Li, Andy Lau & Takeshi Kaneshiro!!!
Hey folks, Harry here at the crazy geek household awaiting the rest of the Knowles clan to descend upon the disgusting display of avarice that we relish so! And the gifts aplenty begin with this trailer that Apple so wonderfully posted as a present for all of us! MAGNET will be releasing this in short order this 2010 - and that is something we should all be thrilled about. It looks very very good! Here ya go:
See big bronze cannons go boom!!!

Ah, Li loves kicking folks.
-
It's a good war film, but it's dark and melodramatic, and while there are some good action sequences in it, it's not an action film. It's about as much of an action film as Saving Private Ryan is an action film. I'd recommend it, but you should know what you're getting into before you see it.
-
I bought this movie about 2 years ago.. It was badass though!
-
like Fearless/Ip Man good? or just ok?
-
...only, instead of gun battles, they fight with swords, and sometimes cannons. There are some really good action sequences, but it's a war film...and not fun like Ip Man.
-
Lets keep this an all Jewish thread!
-
I have many Jewish topics to discuss- first on the agenda is Pastrami vs. Corned Beef- what's your preferred brined meat? I say Pastrami.
-
...that came up with this one?
-
...epic sword movie erogenous zone.I'm not spotting much cheese either...and I'd be willing to put up with a little cheese...
-
Fearless. Man, I hate that movie movie.
-
S O L D!!!
-
I've owned this import for over a year. It's very epic. The battle scenes are huge and great. Totally recommend it.
-
Pastrami all the way boychik!
Ok, your turn. What is your favorite type of Kugel? Egg or potato? -
But I'll eat any and all kugel, to be honest. Next issue: Favorite tribe of Israel? I'm a Cohen, so I vote Levi.
-
great movie though
-
It is definitely Epic like those films (IP MAN IS FANTASTIC!).. But it has a completely different feel. I believe it is one of Jet Li's best performances ever! I don't want to ruin anything by saying too much..
-
...I grew up BibleThumper...the kind that reveres your people and wishes you best of luck and godspeed with your upcoming starring role in the End Times.I think I should get to hang out with you guys...and I think my memory is good enough to challenge either of you to a Christmas Pentateuch Trivia Smackdown.
-
I'm going out to pick up my Chinese food order now, when I come back, I want you to tone down the thumping. Merry Christmas to you and your family, bro!
-
Pretty good. Some impressive earlier battle scenes. visually stunning. This chineses really know how to make epic movies look epic. The second half of the story turns into a story of romantic drama and betrayal. Supposedly based on real events, though heavily stylized and fictionalized. On a trivia note, the mvoei is set during a particullary brutal civil war, the Taiping Rebellion, which some think caused more deaths then the whole of the WWII. Might very well be an exageration, but the lower estimates put the death toll in around the 20 millions.
-
It will be a christmas vs yule deathmatch.
-
...it never took. My mom is still in mourning for my eternal soul. Ancient history. The main thing is that when I read a Chaim Potok novel I can identify with the hero 100%...so that's good.
-
But you still have the tiniest dicks of any race and no amount of epic posturing or economic attack will change that.
Plus...the second your movies get a trailer they get released for downloading or streaming. Your economy is its own worst enemy but I guess some day maybe you'll be able to tell an epic story about that and how it all goes to shit? -
I bought this on blu last year.. (hkflix or dddhouse.com probably). It's good, but not stunning like I expected. Wasn't a keeper, I sold it on ebay. Keep your expectations in check and you'll enjoy it.
-
Possibly Jet Li's best work.
-
Rather, this is a war movie, with some (a lot) of non-explosive weapon combat. Li has done a ton of movies that center around the Shaolin Temple or dedicated martial artists. I'd bet he no longer wants to train as hard as he did for some of those. Doesn't mean he won't USE martial arts in a film. Probably just that it's no longer fun half-killing himself to look perfect.
-
I love a good Kugel too, either egg or potato.
I go with the tribe of Binyamin.
Question: Hebrew school or not for your kids?
I went to Hebrew school. -
I don't have kids yet, but I'm not particularly religious. I do want them to know the history of our people- that's important to me. But the dogma of a faith doesn't appeal to me personally. If my kids reach an age and say "I am religious" I won't discourage them either. I will observe holidays with them, to teach them the historical context, but I wouldn't limit that to just Judaism either. I would want my kids to be as religiously and culturally educated as possible.
-
...and not particularly good.

I can understand that Yack, it is not for everyone
by hey_kobe_tell_me_how_my_ass_tastes
I don't have any kids yet, but I do plan on sending them to Hebrew School. But like anything else, just have to find the right one.
-
Got an ok looking all-regions version on dvd and I loved it. The story is impressively off-kilter. Can't wait to catch this in theaters.
-
But it was still a decent tale of brotherly betrayal. All about where the loyalties lie. Its somewhat ironic about all the bad blood keeping it excessively staggered in its release.

That's one of the best he has done in recent years. I love that movie movie
-
With the 3 big names in this movie you would figure a decent movie would come out....don't keep your hopes up, it stinks.
