  They are lesbians, Harold. Denial can‘t save you.

  Cook Up a Storm 2017

  ★★★★★ Watched 03 Nov 2017

  Dramatic close up shots of cooking, the power of friendship and a disfunctional father-son-relationship. My latest guilty pleasure. Excellent

  The Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven 1961

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 30 Sep 2012

  I recommend this film to anyone who wants to try something different and familiarize themselves with Chinese culture. Its style is heavily influenced by Chinese traditional opera only without the tedious singing bit. Having watched this today for the first time in maybe a decade I find myself questioning the morale of the story (rob your neighbors if they have stuff you want, don't bow to authority, smash their house if you don't get invited to the party, make fun of everything and everyone if you're the strongest), but it's still a classic!

  Sakuran 2006

  ★★★ Added 1

  Usually I don't mind weird, but this was a bit over the edge. Also I did not find the erotic scenes were done very tastefully. It looked like porn half the time.
  Plus one star for looking pretty.
