Hear Max, Mike; Movies
With “Directors in Short Pants.”
Kurosawa’s first.

Flow like a winding river.
Bumpy drowns in it.

  1. Jackie Chan in “first strike” has some amazing martial arts and stunt work, the ladder scene is legendary but “crouching tiger hidden dragon” I really loved. I had seen Michelle Yeoh in earlier films in Chinatown and “…Hidden dragon” was a giant step up with a larger budget and amazing, if not ridiculous, wire work that is just magical. Michelle Teoh could fight a loaf of bread and I would watch it!
