Took me back to the good ol' days of martial arts...

When I was in Thailand, I went to the Thai Boxing arena in Bangkok to watch a few hours of... well, Thai boxing. It was both fascinating and horrifying to watch. No one was killed that night (thankfully), but there was a lot of blood and more than a few broken bones. Interesting for the experience, but I don't think I'd go watch again - kinda gave me the shivers.

It's great seeing the rebirth of martial arts films. Stephen Chow's bizzare, funny and stylistic Shaolin Soccer and his upcoming Kung-Fu Hustle, along with Zhang Yimou's Hero and House Of Flying Daggers make for exciting times. I watch as many Asian " action " films as possible, and modern actors that I love are Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai and especially Michelle Yeoh and Beat Takeshi Kitano ( check-out Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman ).

I can't wait to see Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior.
