I have The Eye 2 and Jiang Hu. Haven't seen them yet though.

By the way, I'm ordering all movies through netflix.com

Young And Dangerous 6: Born To Be King was ok.
Dragon Inn looks too old, but I'll watch it sometime.
Shower is coming next week :)

Born to be King doesn't really have much action. It's more like... Infernal Affairs/ Running Out Of Time -- in other words, no real gun fights. Enjoyable to watch nonetheless.

I'm getting A Man Called Hero tonight...

- One Nite in Mongkok [ Cecilia Cheung, Daniel Wu, Alex Fong ]

quite good, suspenseful, overall very good performances...except cecilia cheung

- Enter the Phoenix [ Eason Chan, Daniel Wu, Stephen Fung ]

sometimes funny, often not. visual nicely filmed.

- Moving Targets [ Nicholas Tse, Edison Chen, Simon Yam ]

rather cheap cop-triad-stuff. little action, but bloody

- Love Battlefield [ Raymond Wong, Eason Chan, Niki Chow ]

intense, and over-sentimental, but nevertheless haunting thriller / love-drama with a very good performance by eason chan

recommended
