My Cheesiness on Asian Male Actors

Recently i just watched Ninja Assassin, it's pretty great for a hollywood movie starred by asian lead actors. And i thought, is this kind of a trend we'll looking at? are they're gonna be another good role like this for asian leading actors?. In the mean time, i have a confession to make, i never seem to reveal that i secretly had a crush on asian male actors, i guess i'm cheesy after all...here's the list...

1. Sung Kang

He played one of the coolest character, Han, in Fast and Furious : Tokyo Drift, after that i can't stop watching his movies and few of them are Sundance Film Festival material, such as Better Luck Tomorrow, The Motel, and Finishing the Game. Not just an actor he also a Restaurateur, he own an asian fusion restaurant, Saketini, in LA and he's a blogger too.

2. Ananda Everingham

He's from Laotian and Australian parents. People might know him from The Shutter, movie that i will never watch, but when i watch him in The Leap Years, my jaw dropping to the floor (sorry, over reacted) when i seen him acting as Jeremy Harvey, the object of a woman's love proposal.

3. Daniel Henney

He's the Agent Zero from X Men's Origins: Wolverine. He's a model. He's half Korean. He's good looking. He's like the asian male version of Giselle Bundchen. That's it. I said it all.

4. John Cho

He's just a party guy in American Pie, then as a student who got killed at Better Luck Tomorrow and evolved into Hikaru Sulu on Startrek. Trekkie wave to John Cho.






I didn't feel like picking 5 male so i stop at 4...which means i still looking around for amazing looking asian male out there...^_^

The Last Samurai seems comedic to me....

I have this weird habit of watching movie reruns, if i already watch it i'll be glad to watch it again.

Two days ago, it's The Last Samurai that i watch again, i remember watching this movie when i still in college, since i'm in japanese language major watching this movie seems important. And i remember how my friends cry when Ken Watanabe's character died (i didn't cry,since i have an issue for not being sensitive), it was a very sad scene but the thing that really bug me is i can't really believe why Tom Cruise is the Last Samurai. It seems very comedic to me, because i've learn that japanese have a very big pride about their nation and it's just unbelievable that they let this western short guy to lead and actually stay with the wife of a japanese samurai that he killed.

And i'm glad that this movie didn't get really big in Oscar and the only one that get the nomination is Ken Watanabe. This movie pretty much depicted how the western see us all asians and i hope it changed pretty soon. But in the end it's all about Hollwood and money, imagine if no Tom Cruise in this movie, i don't think it will get Oscar nod.
