Kill Bill, Himalaya, Tai Chi Master

I should have updated this blog recently as I have watched now quite a few movies. These include Himalaya. It was Manoj who told me about this movie when we were discussing about Nepal and then we decided to rent this movie. It wasn't available at Hollywood but we found it easily at Family Video.

Himalaya is a story set in the beautiful Dolpo region of Nepal. The story is about a Chief who suspects the most loved guy "Karma" of his village to have killed his son. Karma has good heart, loves his daughter and even the chief. But the chief is so much angry with Karma that he even persuades his other son to join him and belittle Karma. The end is good and the movie has some of the most stunning landscape. Its a visual treat and since I watched it on a 61 inch television, I swear it was mind blowing. A must watch movie for anyone who loves story and want to watch some awesome scenery.

Kill Bill
The first time I watched Kill Bill 1 (in bits and pieces) at University hall and I wasn't impressed. But this time I watched both the movies back to back, courtsey Jennifer's DVD. If you love action this is a movie to watch. The action is superb and the wire fu is definitely a treat. Uma Thruman is awesome. Besides the action scence if you pay attention to the music then its pretty neat. Different scences have different music which enhances the mood and scence appreciably. The Kill Bill 2 is not so much action as part 1. I liked the trainning part with Chinese master is fun. I will defnitely remember the 5 point technique. While the first part is pretty fast its only when you see the second part you can appreciate the full movie as the second part tells you the whole story.

Tai Chi Masters
I loved this movie and believe it had one of the best action. Really fast. Jet li is awesome. Like most Hong Kong martial art movies it has comedy and action together. I don't recall any moment where I was bored in this movie. Fantastic movie.
