That’s not some­thing I nor­mally say, for a vari­ety of reas­ons, and I only say it now because, well, I looked at the above trail­er for the about-to-start New York Asian Film Festival and thought, “Damn that looks like fun; how do I get in on that?” And then I remembered that I’m on this year’s jury. Hah!

Juries being what they are, I can say no more…yet. But I’m really honored and stoked to be doing this, and this year’s lineup looks…really pretty neat. You can find out more about the fest here

  • I love Asian Cinema and that, indeed, looks freakin’ awesome 🙂

    I’ve seen “House” and that is one weird trippy movie. It’s got teen­age Japanese boobies, Horror gore, trippy music and hijinks straight out of the Sid and Marty Krofft’s can­on. Just so strange.
    Man, that fest­iv­al looks like a blast!

  • I saw “The Warlords” which I wrote about, and “20th Century Boys” which now has me hop­ing I see the second part. While you’re there ask them how come there are no Thai movies.

    I can­’t WAIT for “The Forbidden Door”, “Written By”, “Plastic City”, and of course, “House”.
    Hope to see you lurk­ing ’round the IFC.
