Very well done!The film cuts between the present time & flashbacks in a unique way. & what a great story! It's not even sort of Bollywood-ish, but they give a Bollywood nod during the credits.

Ley Lines (Japan, 1999)
***SPOILER ALERT***I haven't seen the other two films in this trilogy, but I'm not sure if I want to.
This story featured the escapades of three young, stupid, reckless Chinese men & a prostitute that left all of them mangled & eventually dead.
According to my brother, another of this director's films, Ichi the Killer, was the inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill.

Encounters at the End of the World (2007)
I saw this as part of a double feature presented by Backyard Cinema, an event hosted by the Phoenix Independent, Foreign & ArtHouse Film Club. We were outside in very chilly weather, so it was a true sensory experience!Werner Herzog directed & narrated this film about nothing in an Antarctic town. His commentary is sarcastic, impatient, & down-right pissy throughout the movie. The scenery was awesome, though, especially the underwater shots.

The King of Kong (2007)
I saw this as part of a double feature presented by Backyard Cinema, an event hosted by the Phoenix Independent, Foreign & ArtHouse Film Club.The film makers did a great job of building up the rivalry, no small feat considering the subject matter. I'm just amazed that anyone could spend so much time on one video game.
