I watched "House of Flying Daggers" yesterday. Pretty good. Great visuals, every shot was so vibrant and colourful. As in earlier movies of the same genre like Hero or "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", the martial arts scenes were exaggerated but they were lyrical and blended well with the visual poetry. I kept wondering when will Indian movies reach this standard. I mean the Chinese movie industry is not much older than Indian industry, and Bollywood churns out hundreds of movies every year. But very few of them could compare in technical standard with Hollywood or Chinese movies. Maybe its the money involved or maybe its the problem with Indian audience, the Indian directors are giving what they want.

Bollywood is the biggest piece of junk.
Malayalam, and Bengali movies are the best.
Tamil industry kollywood is better than bollywood.
Bollywood is only about sex most of the times.
