New York Asian Film Festival 2005. Good mix of Asian flicks to see at the theaters this summer instead of downloaded versions on my dinky computer monitors. (Even though I have the 20" widescreen, nothing compare to the theater experience.) Yeah, don't forget your shrimp chips.

My picks:

• Godzilla Final War
• Tetsujin-28
• One Night in Mongkok
• Marebito

I left out the rest of the good Korean flicks since I already saw them with my DVDs, etc. The offering is better than this year's Hollywood summer blockbusters. (Fantastic Four? A trainwreck!)
