Raging Phoenix

What I loved most: Fight scenes with Hip Hop and breakdancing movements!

What I really hated: none

This is Thai female action star Jija Yanin's second new Thai action movie after her first debut action movie "Chocolate" last year. "Raging Phoenix" is the story about Jija Yanin as Deu, a young girl from a rock band who was dumped by her boyfriend. She was drunk one day and was almost kidnapped by a gang of gangsters. Luckily, she was saved by a young man named Sanim whose girlfriend Pie was also kidnapped by a gang of gangsters from a criminal organisation named "Jaguar Gang". When Deu wake up, she joined Sanim in a gang formed by another 3 guys named Dog, Pig and Bull whose sister and wife were also abducted and kidnapped by the "Jaguar Gang". They joined forces together and begin to train and practice "Meyraiyuth" a fighting style of drunken Muay Thai and Hip Hop breakdancing martial arts to destroy and investigate the truth of the "Jaguar Gang". This new Thai action movie is very modern and creative! The fight scenes were a combination of martial arts like Muay Thai and Drunken Fist! Hip Hop and breakdancing movements were used in the fight scenes! Some of the fight scenes were brutal, violent and dangerous too! The attackers in the beginning of the movie were wearing pants with daggers and in roller blades were very creative too! The story is also creative! The "Jaguar Gang" kidnap young girls for their body fragrance and tears to make perfume instead of money! Deu and her gang manage to destroy the "Jaguar Gang". But what I don't like is Sanim died in the end of the movie. Jija Yanin come back a year later after her previous action movie "Chocolate". Luckily she did not disappoint and let her fans to wait for another 4 years for this action movie "Raging Phoenix" compared to "Chocolate" which take 4 years to produce. Don't miss it and watch "Raging Phoenix" if you like to watch a new, modern and creative kind of Thai martial arts action movie!

Merantau Warrior

What I loved most: Best fight scenes and great action scenes!

What I really hated: The ending of the movie!

This is a new Indonesia action movie starring a new Indonesian action star Iko Uwais. "Merantau Warrior" is about Iko Uwais as Yuda, a young man from a small village in Minangkabau, West Sumatra who is a skilled practitioner of Silat Harimau is in the final preparations to begin his 'merantau,' a century's old rites of passage carried out by the community's young men which will see him leave the comforts of his village and make a name for him in the bustling city of Jakarta. He arrived and met a beautiful orphan girl named Astri and save her from becoming a victim of a European human trafficking ring and prostitution led by Ratger and his right-hand man Luc who target and abduct beautiful young girls! When Ratger was seriously injured by Yuda, he seek revenge on Astri and her younger brother Adit! Yuda risked his life to protect Astri and Adit. He fight Ratger, Luc and all the bad guys and uncover the secret of the European human trafficking ring and prostitution! The only part of the movie I dislike is the ending. Iko Uwais was killed by the bad guy Ratger at the end of the movie! But at least he manage to fight and kill Ratger and Luc in the end. This movie is excellent and very good! The fight scenes are hardcore and realistic! The action scenes are great and stunning! Iko Uwais perform Silat martial arts and fight very well in the movie! Some of the scenes are bloody and violent too! Iko Uwais is a great Indonesian action star after Thai action star Tony Jaa! I enjoy watching the movie very much! Don't miss it and watch this movie if you are a fan of martial arts and action movie just like me!

What I loved most: Bloody and violent fighting and slashing scenes!

What I really hated: none

This vampire movie is korean actress Gianna Jun Ji Hyun from 2001's korean comedy movie "My Sassy Girl" first debut Hollywood movie based on a popular Japanese anime. Gianna as Saya, a beautiful vampire hunter who was born to a human father and vampire mother and drink blood to survive. She use her samurai skills and martial arts to kill evil vampires and demons. She was send by a secret organisation on a mission to a US military base in Tokyo and befriend a army general's daughter Alice and face her greatest enemy the most evil and powerful demon Onigen. Gianna perform and fight very well in this movie. The fight and action scenes by Hongkong action director Cory Yuen are excellent! French director Chris Nahon directed the movie is great! Gianna learn to speak good English and went through 3 months of martial arts training with Cory Yuen to prepare for her role as Saya in the movie. "Blood:The Last Vampire" is a very good anime movie. I believe Gianna can make it to Hollywood by improving her English speaking and her "My Sassy Girl" fame. Don't miss the movie and watch it! Believe me you will not be disappointed!
