dragon tiger gate

i do not care what the critics has to say about this movie but i absolutely love it! who cares if the movie has a weak storyline? the fighting scenes were good. cinematography was good. effects were good too. some might argue that the effects were exaggerated. but hey, it's based on a comic book, all effects in comic books are exaggerated anyway.

of course the reason i watched this movie in the first place is because of donnie yan. i absolutely love donnie yan. i mean, what is there not to like about him? he speaks fluent english. he adores his wife and daughter. he plays the piano. he looks damn good. and he is a trained martial artist.

and i have a lot of respect for martial artist having been in the art myself for 12 years of my life. whenever i see these martial artist-turned-actor on screen, i'm always amazed with their stunts, their perfect kicks, their perfect stance... somehow it makes me miss my training days. anyways, let's not go down memory lane.

dragon tiger gate will be in my permanent collection of dvd soon. can't wait to get my hands on the dvd for safe keeping.
