Hollywood has failed us. Instead of movies they've given us marketing campaigns. Horror movies are boring, action movies are loud and irritating, romances are tired, comedies are stale. Why can't we just see a good movie anymore? Wait! What's that on the horizon?
Films from Asian countries flying to our rescue like giant, friendly birds. They have come to bring us peace and love! And water buffalo! And singing terrorists! And giant, rocket-propelled, atomic turtles! Wiggling their booty in Hollywood's face, shaking their tailfeathers and daring you - the hungry, the bored, the oppressed - to catch up with them.
These are the blockbusters that Hollywood forgot to make this year. And there's only one place in New York to find them.... ASIAN FILMS ARE GO!!!
Someone else can show the art movies, Subway Cinema wants to clear the landing pads for the blockbusters, and here they come. Korean, Thai, Chinese, and Japanese audiences want the same thing from their movies that we do: entertainment. And thousands of them flocked to these movies.
Each of the flicks in the festival is a propulsive pop masterpiece, designed to seek out your pleasure centers and stimulate them without mercy.
