Fili’s world

“Don’t you think fiLi has completely gone mad? he doesn’t watch normal movies any more…”.

On my 10th grade I did my Cinmateq subscription and I’ve been a movie addict ever since. For me, there’s nothing like the sensation of watching a film.

I don’t know about normal, but I do admit that my taste in movies has changed a bit to a slightly different course just before heading out to Asia, and so - in the past year and a half or so - I especially enjoy watching Asian films.

Every now and again a friend of mine would ask for recommendations of Asian films and I would usually say although I haven’t seen that many yet s/he should try XYZ.

Lately, I’ve come across Mei11’s wonderful Chinese movie listing of the “Everything Chinese” Israeli forum, and I’m slowly trying to fill in the gap with the movies mentioned.

Not that I can recall all of the movies that I saw, but I’ll start a list in this post of the ones I can, and maybe add some info later on.
