Just wanted to share some foreign films that I managed to see over the holidays.
1) Sepet (a truly Malaysian film): It is one of the few successful Independent Films from Malaysia to have made it in the International Film Festivals circle (I think winner of the Tokyo Film Festival). Anyone from South East Asia (especially Singapore and Malaysia) would love this movie. Those of you who are not, it is still a great movie to catch to see how life really is in Malaysia.

2) The Myth: Another Jackie Chan movie but unique in that it has casts from China, Hong Kong, Korea and India. Also, Jackie Chan moving away from his Buster Keaton type role into a more serious role...and probably his first crack at a little romance in his movies.

Any other good foreign films you have watched lately?
