Chi luo tian shi (1995)
Great acting and a touching plot
I thought that Angel Heart was a great movie. It is the story of a man that was abused in jail and when he was freed, he would still have those images of jail while making love to his beautiful young, virgin wife played by the lovely Vivian Hsu. He begins to have an affair as the marriage falls apart since he cant have sex with his wife without horrible images of jail flying into his head.
I thought that the acting in this movie was very moving and believable. Fuji TV comedian Vivian Hsu was excellent in a dramatic role. Her range is very good. Her male counterpart, played by Tony Lau I believe, the same who starred in Devil Angel with Vivian was also very good as a tortured young man. Excellent movie and highly recommended.
Sonachine (1993)
Very funny action movie
One of the funniest movies I have seen in a while. All the diversions in Okinawa are hilarious and the banter between the Okinawan gangster and his new friend from Tokyo about "Tommy's" and high school baseball are hilarious. The love story is subplot too. Beat Takeshi is at his best in his mix of comedy and drama, just like his Fuji TV work. If you like Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Reservoir Dogs, or any of that type of movie, this is a great movie for you.
