DVD Reviews of God of Cookery
DVD Review: totally absurd
Summary: 5 Stars
Had to buy this movie after seeing it at a friend's a while ago. Absolutely ridiculous, and you'll appreciate it more if you're familiar with Iron Chef. The English subtitles are pretty bad but that only adds to the appeal.DVD Review: Hilarious. Need I say more?
Summary: 5 Stars
Me and my friends stumbled upon this movie, and watched it without really knowing anything about it. We were all pleasantly surprised to discover that it is one of the most hilarious movies ever written. Many people say you have to understand Chinese culture to understand this movie, but I don't know much about Chinese culture and still found myself laughing throughout the enitre movie. While I have to admit, the subtitles aren't always up to par (they repeatedly use the word "satin" instead of "Satan" and there was one sentence that was so bad I had no clue what it was supposed to mean), but that doesn't take away from the glory that is this movie! If you want to see a really fun spoof that actually will make you laugh out loud, I highly recommend this!DVD Review: Sorrowful Rice
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow!
A uniquely funny and poignant film.
So unique that I cannot classify it.
Both a comedy and a tragedy
and so much more.
And amazingly beautiful to look at.
I would have appreciated it more,
if that is possible,
had I understood more of Chinese
philosophy and culture.
The English subtitles,
which were necessary for me,
were very poorly done.
The dialog is probably
far superior than that of
the subtitles unless
the only mistakes
were spelling and grammar.
A film of this quality,
a true classic, deserves to
be translated well for
English readers.
DVD Review: Very funny show
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this movie based on a reccomendation by Alton Brown and I'm glad I did. Steven Chaiu is one of the funniest film makers coming out of China right now. It does contain a bit of cultural humor so if you don't know much about Chinese culture you might not get a lot of it. It's a bit silly by American standards. All this aside I watch this over and over again. Very funny movie!DVD Review: Bouncing shrimp balls
Summary: 5 Stars
Stephen Chow made his main American breakout with Kung Fu Hustle, another good film, but prior to that he had a long career in cinema. God of Cookery is hillarious in a simlar way as Kung Fu Hustle, but it has the bizzare cutness that it didnt which Chow made a name on. Think of an Iron Chef episode and mix that with Shaolin Socccer style fighting (another golden Chow Gem) and you have Cookery. it is a Rags to riches type story as many Chow films are, but it isnt the typical one. A tongue in cheek movie with good dialogue and an amusing love interest this film is good even on sequential viewings. I was introduced to this about 5 years ago or more (less? been a while) and I still watch it on occasion and laugh. It is ok for the kids too though there is some "harsh language" in terms of swearing but not in too bad of a way. Go ahead and get it, you know you want too.
