Updates: New Acquisitions [3rd Week, March 2011]

     Sometimes, I get lucky, but there are times when I get super lucky!  Guess what?  I snagged an Infernal Affairs and My Boyfriend is Type B dvds for Php 99 each! Yay! Banzai! Yahoo!

     So far, I've watched Postmen in the Mountains (China), Love You 10000 Years (Taiwan) and My Boyfriend is Type B.  Watch out for my observations sometime soon.

     On another note, there are pirated dvds in Ho Chi Minh City, in particular, at Saigon Square for VND 10,000 per movie. Box sets of tv series are available, too.  Didn't buy any.

    

Updates - New Acquisitions

    

     Recently, I've been buying DVDs of every sort.  They're on sale everywhere at the malls.  For the price of Php 99.00 (around USD 2.00), I bought myself a DVD of Cruel Intentions, Chocolat, and to my utter surprise, Cowboy Bebop!  Imagine, I have a classic anime in my hands for just Php 99.00!  Lucky!

     I was also able to score DVDs of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Kung Fu Hustle (my second copy), Drunken Master and some comedy films like Superbad and I Love You Man, for a higher price, less than Php 200.00 (around USD 5.00).

     I've seen most of them at one point in my life or the other, but owning a DVD is really special.  I can watch the movies again and again.

     And I noticed that lately, I've been watching one too many Chinese-language movies, so most probably, you'd read a couple of reviews for those films.  I've seen the Red Cliff, but it's the clipped-into-one-movie-english-dubbed version, and I've watched the Curse of the Golden Flower, and re-watched for the nth time the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and the Drunken Master.  The last one, I've known it since I was a kid and I'd try to mimic the dubbed voice of Jackie Chan, "Master! Teach me kung-fu!"  Heehee.

     So, there.  I'd post a review before the week ends.  Promise.
