262"26 #BlackMask my god, Karen Mok. Jet & King Sir's canto dub 😂. Convoluted plot but big swing & has its charms. The amount of action Sean Lau gets is surprising & welcomed, despite Jet Li being here as the lead. Takes a while to get to his action. Momentum is sluggish.

261'26 #RunningOutofTime2 Benz Hui goes all in for incompetency. Heavily accented eng is such a distraction. Ekin seems to be having loads of fun. Plot is much looser this round but the charm of the ensemble makes it worthwhile. Nothing can beat the bike scene 💯.

Holy shit dir en grey had a new album come out this April Omg I need to get my hands on it

#Landman S1 that was a quick watch. I guess my fav genre is rich people facing their daily problems & it just keeps getting worst & worst 😂. Decent enough ensemble. Interesting plot points. Most of the time I'm just here for them the cast to monologue & lie with such confidence.

260"26 #RunningOutofTime Benz Hui is so good playimg bumbling idiot characters. Too bad Yoyo Mung is hardly in this. The two Laus have solid chemistry here. Waise Lee is in this playing some maybe badass. Tonally, it's all over the place which it's in a genre itself of HK.

This is the stuff that irks me. Running out of time. Arrow release. He actually says "Was it a girl or a boy?" "It was a man." Like why not just sub the actual dialogue? Hate it when they paraphrase. I don't care if it's "not important" dialogue.

259"26 #RubbersLover what a wild time. Some semblance of plot. This totally delivers in the gongshow trainwreck screamathon department. So much liquids from things to bodily kinds. Exceptional physical performance from this ensemble. Great use of liminal tight spaces.

Unfortunately, with my wife being essentially forced into retirement our financial situation has gone from bad to worse. we are still waiting on a number of checks & reimbursements but have past due bills & expenses we can no longer burden our families with & need help. (Thread)

258"26 #ForbiddenCityCop haven't seen this in forever but man, 31 yr old Carina Lau is best actress😂. The modern script gags is such a good time. Rip these eng subs on this hk disc tho but much grain. The wuxia vs science is an interesting plot. Lau Yee Tat's deadpan is 💯.

257"26 #ReplacementKillers the action is the saving grace for this. Haven't seen in forever but goddamn the acting/directing is so meh that no one was compelling. The action is just decent enough despite some nice shots. It's a waste of Chow Yun Fat. Felt like budget tv special.

256"26 #MissingLink haven't seen since "19. Celeb voice cast is a distraction. Phenomenal stop motion. There's so much subtle detail movements that adds so much to it. I actually cant reconcile that this isn't simply just 3d animation, tho sometimes the tactileness is lesser.

New one on the board 2026 #SpiderManBrandNewDay

255"26 #SpiderManBrandNewDay a solid time all around, from the action, to the jokes, to the emotional core. Solid chemistry from this ensemble. Can't wait to see more of the MCU post secret wars. Webbing action was a great time, can definitely see some video game inspired moves.

254"26 #JapaneseGodfather3 need more Ohtani Naoko. A lot of talking heads but so much tension in backstabbing & sly tactical moves, this is all such a solid time. Sugawara is back in a new role but still knocks it out of the back. What a journey for Sakura, Oishi, & Ichinomiya.

so it's actually happening #shadowsedge2 with Larry Yang back as director and of course with JC and Tony Leung and also Zhang Zi Feng, Ci Sha, and Jun. Seems to be a bigger baddie than Tony Leung in the shadows. credit: hendersonpictures

#Foundation s1 after years of stop & go, finally was able to complete s1. Just wow. First 5 episodes of the masses & world building was impressive. Latter half, more focused on plot points & reminded me of The Expanse. Lee Pace is so guud & dual leads Lou Llobell/Leah Harvey 💯

Plain archive is releasing a 4k joint of #theoldwomanwithaknife Imagine it has eng subs oh man One can dream I know theybdont do eng subs....

253"26 #JapaneseGodfather2 way more talking heads this round & with a foil for Saburi in the form of underused Mifune. This one speaks to more of the lineage of families & their yakuza vs politics transition of time. Sugawara returns in a different role with more Matsukata drama

252"26 #JapaneseGodfather huge cast, get your notebook ready. Sugawara & Chiba delivers the frontlines of the saga. Saburi, Tsuruta, Narita, & co delivers on the management side of things. A lot of talking heads but still with enough action & death threats. Godfather homage 💯

251"26 #HerPrivateHell NWR is back finally. I couldn't care less about anyone or anything in his movies, he makes a new one, I go watch, simple. The atmosphere & vibes are the jam & Charles Melton was there for it. Glad to see Havana Rose Liu a third time this yr. Nishijima 😆.

250"26 #UnbearableWeightofMassiveTalent not what I expected but guess it needed this plot for commercialization. Would've been fine if it was just the 2 of them talking shits. Cage is Nic Fucking Cage & hes such a delight. Pascal is a solid foil & has decent chemistry. Fun times.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 📲

249"26 #BlackTightKillers like a Saturday morning cartoon with its spy, action, bad guys elements (helicopter!). The variety & amount of action is impressive. Simple plot with the ninja ensemble & silliness being a fun time. Kobayashi Akira is a solid leading man.

#TeachYouALesson legit glad this moved the real life effect needle in the education system. Kim Moo Yul is all the vibes teaching everyone the lessons they need. The ensemble is pretty fun. Exceptional acting from the shithead students, parents, teachers, I hate so many of them.

248"26 #AestheticsofaBullet mono audio off this radiance disc drives me insane. Watase Tsunehiko does a great job playing someone with such an inflated ego. This plot is a great one in the genre as it deals with the shady tactics of their wars. Movie itself is straightforward tho

247"26 #GhostKiller rewatch Mimoto Masanori vs Kawampto Naohiro is just so good. The sheer speed of the fight is like dance choreo but yet it feels grounded & naturalistic & never feels like it's choreo. Can feel the 105 mins as it shifts from fights to plot/people talking.

246"26 #TheOdyssey 70mm rd3, my ears were ringing. Elliot Page & Hamish Patel highlight this round, really great foiling to Damon. 70mm is still great but miss the imax factor. Brain still does gymnastics that some stuff isnt just straight up cg, tho wish Scylla was more designed

245"26 #UnderworldBeauty the radiance release looks very nice, b/w is captured so well. The plot is straightforward though its 87 mins feels way longer as it trods through its phases. Romanticized yakuza vibes throughout but juxtaposed so well with Akiko & her outlook.

Soi Cheang (twilight warriors walled in) newest joint is a mainland production #PengHu aka The Belief (on imdb) with Jackson Yee, Du Jiang, Wang Xueqi, and even Hu Jun(cant wait to see how much screentime he gets). Out this week on July 25 in China. Credit: hendersonpictures
