I never watched the show in the 1990's so I was surprised to learn that Sonny Sharrock did the music to Space Ghost. Here's a 12 minute clip with Thurston Moore as the guest. Seen on WFMU's blog.

2000 A.D. (Hong Kong, 2000)
Directed by Gordan Chan (Fist Of Legend), this big budget espionage film co-produced by Singapore's Raintree Films, takes about 30 minutes for the action to start but then you have a high powered rifle sniper, bloody shootouts, car chases, and fights on top of skyscrapers. Many Hong Kong and Singaporean stars are in the film. Aaron Kwok, Francis Ng, Daniel Wu, Ray Lui and Andrew Lin round out the Hong Kong stars. The sniper is played by Ken Lo, who is famous for being Jackie Chan's bodyguard and final opponent in Drunken Master 2 (Legend Of The Drunken Master in the US). Definitely worth watch, Francis Ng gives a great performance as weary Hong Kong police detective. The netflix streaming has easy to read yellow English subtitles. Normally I put a link to the film's trailer but this time I'm linking to the sniper action scene. It does spoil a character's death.

Dating A Vampire (Hong Kong, 2006)
Hong Kong version of Fright Night, only not so good. Netflix recently added a ton of Hong Kong movies to their streaming service and most of them are not that good. I had the chance to buy many of them when they first came out on dvd or vhs and passed on them, but since they are streaming it only costs me my time. I picked Dating A Vampire because it is directed by Clarence Fok (or Ford) and features Yuen Wah and Andy On so I hoped there would be some decent action. There wasn't much, but the movie was not so bad. Recommended for Hong Kong fanatics only.

Black Lightning (Russia, 2009)
Black Lightning is a remake of Spiderman except instead of the hero getting bit by a radioactive spider, he gets a flying car. The special effects are pretty decent. Co directed by Dimitriy Kiselev and Aleksandr Voytinskiy. It is produced by Timur Bekmambetov, the director of Nightwatch and Wanted.

No Mercy (South Korea, 2010)
One of the amazing things about South Korean cinema is how many great movies are made by first time directors. Kim Hyeong-Joon's No Mercy is a great crime drama with an involving plot that I don't want to give anything away about. It stars Sol Kyung-Gu as a University Professor who helps the police force with autopsies and forensic evidence. Just as he is about to retire (you always know something bad is going to happen when a cop or someone related to law enforcement nears retirement) he drawn into one last case. While the autopsies are not bloody, they are pretty graphic. Netflix has it streaming. Here is the unsub trailer (so you don't understand the spoilers unless you speak Korean). For those of you with out Netflix, the movie is up on youtube.
