...Jung Woo Suk likes nothing better than to sit down with some cool Japanese animation or a new Japanese-made video game. Jung, who graduated from a top university in Seoul last year, now runs a website for a computer magazine. But whenever he has spare time, he sits down with his PlayStation or his computer and plays video games -- Dragonquest 7, Black Matrix Cross and Super Robot War are among his favorites. When he feels like watching some animation, one of his top choices is a series by a Japanese team called Gonzo. It was shown on television...
...wonder El Mariachi, Rodriguez has become an eye-candy dynamo; a gleeful purveyor of pulp so jammed with spicy flavor that it seems ready to rupture on screen at any moment. With the propulsive mayhem of his neo-Spaghetti Western Desperado, Rodriguez established himself as a caffeine-saturated John Woo incarnate, filling the screen with delectable orgies of balletic gunplay and the inspired bedlam of guitar-case rocket launchers. Rodriguez's tongue-in-cheek, violence-as-cartoon mentality was pushed to an even higher level in the Tarantino-scripted vampire caper From Dusk Till Dawn, which, in its own eternally...
...gunshot is like a jolt of adrenaline. The special-effects laden spectacle of Spy Kids, on the other hand, cannot fall back on the natural buzz of stylish violence (and those who think it doesn't exist should become better acquainted with the work of Sam Peckinpah and John Woo) and appears that much more clunky as a result.

...fasteners such as nuts, bolts and screws - the very products ABC makes. But the old-line manufacturers balked. In fact, Dicke's father was among Matchbid's foremost opponents, arguing that the Internet could destroy his business by increasing price transparency and driving down margins. Dicke tried everything to woo his father, including giving him a year's free membership in the exchange for his 70th birthday last September. "He couldn't convince his father - this was the message that was in the market," says Geibel. "Customers didn't trust...
Nowhere more so than in South Korea. The country's censors banned homosexuality on screen in any form until 1998, despite allowing hot-action het-sex and an alarming amount of rape. For the hottest het-sex in Asia see Korean debutante Jung Ji-woo's Happy End - which won awards at last year's Cannes - with bonking that bests French director Jean-Jacques Beineix's Betty Blue for realistic moan-groan quotient and full-body bump and grind. Today, it seems, Korean directors can do just about anything. 1999's Yellow Hair was a sex shebang with orgies...
