Zu Warriors -- 6/10
Bizarre asian movie about these warriors with superpowers fighting against a computer-generated bloody force, Insomnia. Which was funny, because I was watching it since I couldn't sleep. The special effects were entertaining and very interesting. I was annoyed throughout because the video, audio, and subtitle tracks were all off from each other and I couldn't fix it or I'd probably given it a little higher. The wire-assisted martial arts were cool, but it needed more fighting.
Seven Swords -- 7/10
I've been on an asian movie kick. This one I really dug. The story was pretty tradtional in terms of Japanese foklore... A town is going to be attacked and gets assistance from five warriors from Mount Heaven with seven swords forged by a master. This one had some awesome fight scenes. Some of the slowness in the middle (for plot development, ostensibly) was made up for by the last major fight scene. Blood was CG and a little distracting, but I'd watch it again. The laughter of the General got me going every time. Hilarious.
