"Save Your Breath...You will need it to talk to the Devil."

Alright, as many of you know I am way into the Martial Arts. Recently, I have started collecting some serious old School Kung Fu Flicks. They are the bomb! Carol is probably really fed up by now watching all of these. 

I grew up watching these with my brother and my dad. Probably one of the greatest was The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. But man, there were a lot that I did not get to watch so I am catching up. I think my dream is to one day make an awesome contemporary martial arts film. Anyway, I don't really enjoy watching them English Dubbed because it is just silly to me. In English, the translations are known for being extremely silly. For example in Avenging Eagle the evil kung fu master is about to kill one of his opponents and laughs at him with this Great Line,  "...you are not gonna kill me that's for sure...save your breath because you will need it to talk to the devil..." and like that he kills him. Make sure you start it at 8:05 minutes into the clip. Since I have Kung Fu fever I will post some great clips from time to time.  

Any ways here are my favorites right now in no particular order except the first one. 

1. The 36th Chamber of Shaolin

2. Heroes of the East 

3. 5 Element Ninjas

4. 7 Grand Masters

5. Ninja Checkmate aka Mystery of Chess Boxing

6. Magic Blade 

7.  King Boxer aka 5 Fingers of Death

8. Avenging Eagle

9. The Master aka 3 Evil Masters

10. 5 Deadly Venoms

Nerd Coming Out this Weekend

The one summer movie I really want to see is Star Trek. Jimmy went and saw Wolverine last weekend and I told him I wasn't interested because I'm holding out for Star Trek this weekend. No I'm not a Trekkie, but I am a big fan of Sylar from Heroes and J.J. Abrams creator of Alias and Lost.

I'm also looking forward to the new Harry Potter, but not too excited about the new Transformers or Terminator. I just watched the first Terminator last week, and still need to watch the second one. Maybe then I'll understand all this doomsday robot stuff.

What summer movie are you looking forward too? Does anyone want to be a Trekkie with me, maybe we could dress up and be cool like this.
