Late to the Johnnie To party. Is exiled a good entry point to his movies? Same with Lam. I focused more on other Hong Kong guys I guess

[tucker]

Yeah, you really can dive in anywhere. He has done pretty much everything, one movie is as good as another to get started. Breaking News, Election, Vengeance, Mad Detective. Just get cooking.

Awesome.
I'll probably go chronological- ish then.
There goes my weekend

I'm always behind.
Just wanted to say: Finally rented Man of Steel. It was worse than I could have imagined.

Just rented '71 thanks to you for letting me know about it. Too bad a great film like that flew under the radar.

Person of Interests is now streaming on Netflix. I like the part (episode 3?) where the ex army guys beat up the preppy asshole bankers so I could cheer and feel vindicated. Not sure I can stick with it though...
