So there’s a bunch of stuff. I am also considering getting into the sci-fi genres a little more after seeing how much I loved Firefly but don’t know what one I should get into (battlestar galactica, star trek, etc.) Thanks for all your suggestions!!
Thanks for all the suggestions!!

Scrubs – Hate it. idk why but i do.
Prison Break & 24 – I’ll definitely consider those two
Glee – I watch it with the girlfriend. little lame but whatever.
Bruno – forgot about that one ill watch it soon
Two and a half men – i’ve seen a couple, I guess i could give it or take it
Blind Side – I’ve only heard good things, i’ll pick it up for a date night

Funny Face – I’ve watched every movie you suggested but I would rate all of them 5 stars. you def know my tastes :-)
Well with the exception of that 70′s show. another one i could give or take

Criminal Minds – after looking at other peoples questions for what shows to watch this one and lie to me usually popped up together, might give those a go.

Ruth – I saw madea’s family reunion and wasn’t a fan so since then I’ve kind of shied away from tyler perry’s work. Maybe I should give him a second chance. The good Shepard I thought was extremely slow (same with Benjamin button)

hot undercover boss

Please tell me the name of the movie?

Question
in which someone is playing an FBI agent. He is on the FBI’s side & also on the mafia’s side at the same time. He is basically in the middle. The mafia is secretly videotaping him & sees him shoot his best friend. Or they think they saw him do it but it turns out he didn’t. He has been deep undercover for so long that the FBI doesn’t know who’s side he really is on. On top of that, he falls in love with the head mafia boss’s daughter. But she doesn’t know he’s FBI. At the end, he finally tells her he’s FBI and helps her to escape to the other side of Europe and then he goes on living his life. This film was shot somewhere in Europe-it looks like maybe Yugoslavia. But I have yet to find out a name for it. This is NOT Running Scared. We’re still trying to find out the name but nothing has been right yet. Please don’t link me to Brad Pitt movies – it’s NOT on that list. I’m not sure if it was him or not now.

3.The girl wasn’t a Mafia daughter…she was an undercover agent herself
4.He didn’t pretend to shoot his best friend…he shot a Russian cop…with a “blood bullet”.

Why don’t some people like John Woo?

Question
There are some people who say that John Woo is a bad director. But they are wrong. They judge him on his films that he made in America. They most likely don’t bother to research or watch his Hong-Kong films which are better that his American films. His best American film in my opinion is “Face/Off”. But I don’t like the rest of his American films. Blame Hollywood for milking away his talent and inspiration. He is currently in Hong Kong making good films again like “Red Cliff”. If you haven’t seen his Hong Kong films, here’s a list of some of them:

“A Better Tomorrow” (1986) – Starring Chow Yun-Fat, Ti Lung, and Leslie Cheung. Plot: A reforming ex-gangster tries to reconcile with his estranged policeman brother, but the ties to his former gang are difficult to break. This movie revolutionized Hong Kong cinema, made Chow Yun-Fat and John Woo famous, and created the Heroic Bloodshed genre which is a genre of Hong Kong action cinema revolving around stylized action sequences and dramatic themes such as brotherhood, duty, honor, redemption and violence. It also spawned two sequels which are good but not better than the first.

“The Killer” (1989) Starring Chow Yun-Fat, Danny Lee, and Sally Yeh. Plot: A disillusioned assassin accepts one last hit in hopes of using his earnings to restore vision to a singer he accidentally blinded, only to be double-crossed by his boss. This movie is very melodramatic yet extraordinary with it’s violent gunplay and it’s dove symbolism.

“Bullet in the Head” (1990) Starring Tony Leung, Jacky Cheung, and Waise Lee. Plot: When three close friends escape from Hong Kong to war-time Saigon to start a criminal’s life, they all go through a harrowing experience which totally shatters their lives and their friendship forever. This film is very emotional, powerful, and sorrowful. It’s considered to be John Woo’s best film.

“Hard-Boiled” (1992) Starring Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung. Plot: A tough-as-nails cop teams up with an undercover agent to shut down a sinister mobster and his crew. This movie doesn’t have a lot of drama but it has a lot of nonstop and fantastic action. It has some of the best action scenes ever filmed. This made John Woo very popular in the west and has influenced a lot of Hollywood films such as “The Matrix” and video games like “Max Payne”.

Again as I said before, his Hong Kong films are better than his American flicks. So try to watch these films because it will change your mind and opinion on Woo. John Woo is a genius. He creates a bond between action and drama. He creates the unforgettable action sequences and the story/character driven action that we see in his films. He inspired many and change the face of action. Even if you don’t watch action movies, you’ll still love John Woo’s films because of the story and drama that’s implemented in the film. John Woo is my favorite director and he is a legend.

I actually enjoyed Face Off one of the few really good performances I’ve seen Nick Cage give.

I tried to watch Hard Boiled but simply could not stomach the violence.

Answered by Robert S
I have no idea.
‘ The Killer’ is one of my favorite movies of all time. I think maybe, Woo gives a reason for this dislike in his commentary for ‘The Killer.’ He makes it very clear he didn’t like the way Hollywood operated when he was working for the studios. He was quite disappointed that so much time was wasted in meetings. It was funny when he pointed out that the first few months of production is spent in meetings with people who only wanted to prove they could do it. He said he could have made a complete movie in Hong Kong in the time American movie makers waste on meetings. Also he was surprised that the ‘star’ actors have so much control over how a movie is made, such as having a say in who is cast in a movie, final word on the ecript, etc. In Hong Kong only the director has that power and he found that a chore to get used to. He was unhappy making movies for the American studios. His efforts were continually undermined by people who had power over the making of the movie that he didn’t feel was necessary.
Very enlightening commentary from him, even though he was very polite in expressing these opinions.

  4. Ruth says:

    if ur lookin for some comedy shows, i recommend you watch house of payne on tbs every wednesday ay 10 pm also meet the browns, and the king of queens as well as everybody hates raymond…but if u want drama, go to the tnt channel and watch shows like memphis beat. watch my own worst enemy on hulu as well.

    as a matter of movies, you need to watch:

    the talented mr ripley
    the good shepard
    spanglish
    prince of persia
    the hurt locker
    madea’s family reunion
    tyler perry’s i can do bad all by myself
    tyler perry’s diary of a mad black woman
    madea goes to jail

    these movies are somewhat comical, dramatic, but very powerful and can be influential if you really pay attention

    great movies, but i must warn you, you might be alittle freaked out and at spanglish, these people are psychiotic. LOL!

    enjoy ur summer! :) and tell me wat u think of the shows :)

    H.A.G.S.!
