TOP 10 Documentary Film Reviews: Wild China (a mini series) THE BEAUTY OF CHINA

Image via WikipediaImage via WikipediaSo... Netflix kept recommending this film (saying that I would LOVE it) and I kept ignoring it... until today.

Now WOW, OMG, (all the expletives you can think of!)... it is by far one of the most amazing cinematically beautiful films I have ever seen.

And, oh yeah. It's educational.

For the first time in my life, I WANT - NEED (!) to visit China... the beauty, the grandeur, the landscape... the people.

The CLASSIC CREATURE FEATURE "Bugged"

Image by ~Brenda-Starr~ via FlickrIt's hard for me to believe that this movie was created as late as 1997. I thought perhaps a 70's B-Film and here's why.

One of the things I found most amusing about this film is the reverse-racism. Not your typical Hollywood tinsel as (almost) everyone is black... except for a "token" white person here and, rarely, there.

Makes you aware just how racist Hollywood really is.

But this is my favorite kind of film.
The first time you see the created
monster, you will laugh your arse off.

Only disappointment, really, is that there is a scene that is a transparent (but humorous) knock-off of the original "FLY" movie. At least it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Favorite Line: "Over to the left, dear."
