Kurt Thomas is the master of Gymkata (a mixture of martial arts and competition gymnastics and its directed by the guy who made Enter the Dragon. I got a million bad/good ones that I love, this one was just top of mind today.

Totally unoriginal story, abismal acting, but my gosh, some of the best martial arts choreography i’ve ever seen. every fighter has a different fighting style, which is clarified in the credits. It’s a great time if you wanna see non-stop action, no cgi. i love it

An incredible, genre-defying film from Johnnie To that uses Judo as the philosophical foundation for its story of three people looking for more out of life. You see them thrown to the ground repeatedly in its 95 mins, but more than anything, it's a film about the importance of getting back up. Over, and over, and over.
It features a deftly hidden twist and a couple incredibly dynamic sequences (the arcade scene and the night club centerpiece) that I had to rewind and watch again. Outstanding cinematography and inventive choreography in almost every scene, whether it's 4 conversations woven together at once or a 1-on-1 Judo match in the tall grass.

Terrible acting, cheesy 80s montages, absolutely 0 plot…but a buff Belgian guy is doing the splits for half the movie.

Even if you end up having to go somewhere else, there still will be culture to get involved in, people to meet, things to learn, realizations to be made. All of that is still right there for you and it will be open in a way you won't even realize until you've done like a year or two. So it's truly still exciting times. As long as you feel generally good about the place you ultimately choose, your time is coming.

Completely missed this performance, just harpsichord and Bjork alone transforming a club song is crazy.
