The things you find in the foreign movie isle of your local Hollywood Video

Browsing the foreign movie isle in the HV ended up being quite an experience, and not just because at some point, a man in a tuxedo and two women in evening dresses wandered through. I ended up getting "Bitter Sugar" (a movie about Cuba), "God of Cookery" (a Stephen Chow flick) and what looks like deliciously over the top angstiness that is "Hong Kong 1941." But while finding any of these, I came across Amazonia which boldly proclaimed the words of some obscure reviewer on the cover, something about how good an exploitation flick it was. On the back, it has words like "devirginized." Exciting.

"God of Cookery" is an awesome name.
On the back, it has words like "devirginized."
Awww, now I want to know what else was on the back.

Nothing good. It was all about this girl seeking revenge on a tribe that devirginized her :P

Meep be warned about God of Cookery! I have friends who love it but there is grossness within.

My favourite of Stephen Chow is still Shaolin Soccer but maybe I'm from a different planet when it comes to humour. :)

I don't mind the grossness. Loved Shaolin Soccer btw :)

The 'Thriller' dance sequence had me in hysterics. It was such a strange little movie. Whenever I try to describe that to people, they give me a really strange look. :)
