"Mother" was directed by Bong Joon-ho, who did "The Host", which I absolutely hated. I must admit... I hated this film too. Almost everything about it is annoying.

"Ocean Waves" aims for nothing more than to capture a boy's infatuation with a girl, wrapped in a slightly more mature narration from the boy himself, as he looks back on the events, clearly wiser from the experience.

Jackie Chan made a name for himself doing crazy stunts. Without the aid of visual effects or stunts-doubles he regularly puts his own life on the line to get the shot, which pays off in a major way in an action film like this.

The Americans have made their share of remakes based on Asian films, so it seems only fair the Asians should return the favor and have a crack at a Hollywood film. "Connected", the Asian version of the 2004 action movie "Cellular", is by no means the first Hong Kong remake, but it is one of the best.

I really wish "Dragon Heat" had been a good film. I wanted to like it SO much. The cast is cool, and much respect to Michael Biehn for taking a gamble and heading to Hong Kong to shoot a film.
