Man, I love it when the story gets to the part where it all hits the fan.
Don't you?

I just watched a really inspiring Korean movie called "The Good, The Bad, and the Weird." It's an "Eastern" or AKA a "Sushi Western". It's very much inspired by Sergio Leoni's "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."

It's on Netflix instant view, and if you're a fan of action movies, old westerns and gunplay/violence, this movie is for you.
The action is how I like my roleplaying games; fast, fun, and cinematic. In truth, this thing was super inspiring for the Monster Commute RPG.
I don't know what the budget was, but it looks like they spent twice as much as Hollywood films. It's visually epic with lots of location shots, with huge outdoor vistas.
The characters (my favorite part) are very archetypal... they're almost symbols of characters more than real people. But for me, that's okay. In many ways, that's how the art is in Monster Commute; symbols of characters rather than realistic depictions.
I need to watch it again.
