D-War (Soundtrack) by Steve Jablonsky |
Tales of Earthsea
(DVD) |
 Now
only $12.99!
Written and directed by comedian-turned-filmmaker Shim Hyung Rae,
sci-fi action blockbuster D-War drew 2.95 million moviergoers in its
first week of release alone, breaking The Host's previous record.
D-War's stunning special effects and action has been bringing in the
viewers, and the film is more than set to enter the top ten pantheon
of highest-grossing Korean films to complement its title of most
expensive Korean film ever made. D-War draws from a Korean legend, but
the film itself is shot in the States and features a Hollywood cast of
Jason Behr, Amanda Brooks, Robert Forster, and Aimee Garcia. Behr
stars as L.A. TV reporter Ethan Kendrick who is faced with the
formidable task of facing a mythical serpent dragon that has awakened
to threaten humankind. D-War opens in the U.S. in September 2007, but
until then here's the soundtrack, featuring the film's score and the
mood-setting patriotic Korean folk song Arirang. |
 Enter

the legendary Miyazaki Hayao. Complex and compelling, Tales from
Earthsea presents a sweeping, fantastical story about a young prince's
journey through darkness and redemption. This edition
includes the feature film in Japanese or English audio with Japanese
and English subtitles. It also comes with a disc of extras including
trailers and special feature "The Birth of "Therru's Song". |

musical contribution he made to the highly acclaimed Lord of the Rings
movie series returns with all-new melodies.

 MBC's
hugely popular Jumong is the first of a wave of Korean
historical dramas dealing with the Goguryeo Dynasty
(approximately 37 BC-AD 668). Written by veteran Choi Wan Gyu (Hur
Jun, Sang Do, and All In) and Jung Hyung Soo (Damo), Jumong is
one of Korea's most impressive and popular historical dramas. It

Battle Royale 2 (Soundtrack) by Masamichi Amano |
A Battle of Wits |
 Set
three years following the events portrayed in 'Battle Royale', one of
the survivors, Shuya Nanahara, has become a notorious anti-government
terrorist. Leading the group 'Wild Seven' he has declared war on the
adults who enforce the BR Act. To counteract this the government
creates a new act, one that forces a group of Junior High School
students to act as an anti-terrorist force and hunt down Nanahara in
72 hours or face death. Once again the score is composed by
MASAMICHI AMANO. |
 
Andy Lau portrays a superhero in ancient China - not the kind of
heroes that possess great martial arts skills frequently
appearing in this genre, but a man who fights tough battles with
great intelligence. Director Jacob Cheung, renowned for making
contemporary-set movies such as The Kid (with Leslie
Cheung), presents his first period epic A Battle of Wits
which pleases movie fans with the magnificent, realistic war
scenes and its thought-provoking content. Adapted from a popular
Japanese manga titled Bokko, A Battle of Wits
features Korean veteran Ahn Sung Ki and handsome Super Junior
member Choi Si Won. Cast also includes Taiwanese singer Nicky
Wu, Fan Bingbing from A Chinese Tall Story, and Mainland
actor Wang Zhiwen. |

Tales of Earthsea (Gedo Senki) Soundtrack |
Love and Honor |
 Tamiya
Terashima scores this epic anime feature with powerful action pieces
and emotional themes. He continues the Japanese tradition of
powerful anime soundtracks. Enter a dark, magical world of
dragons and sorcery in Studio Ghibli's blockbuster animated epic Tales
from Earthsea. Adapted from Ursula K. Le Guin's beloved children's
fantasy book series, Tales from Earthsea marks the phenomenal
directorial debut of Miyazaki Goro, the son of the legendary Miyazaki
Hayao. |
 Renowned
director Yamada Yoji brings his acclaimed samurai trilogy to a
beautiful close with Love and Honor (a.k.a. Bushi no
Ichibun). Like Twilight Samurai and Hidden Blade,
Love and Honor is based on the works of Fujisawa Shuhei,
and the story follows a familiar arc, portraying a samurai's
struggle for honor in the face of harrowing challenges. While
his previous two films were helmed by screen veterans Sanada
Hiroyuki and Nagase Masatoshi, for Love and Honor Yamada
chose pop icon Kimura Takuya as the film's star. The casting
initially drew skepticism as, though Kimura had appeared in many
television dramas, he had little film experience. Kimura,
however, made the role his own, delivering a career-defining
performance. Under Yamada's assured hand, the rich aesthetics
and restrained acting give way to an increasingly emotional and
intense story that culminates with a gripping sword duel.
Winning both at box office and with critics, Love and Honor
just might be the best of the trilogy. |

A Word about Yesasia.com
A reliable online outlet for movies and music from Asia |
Dear
Friend,
I have received a number of emails
asking about Tracksounds new affiliate, YESASIA.COM, and so I wanted to take a
moment to share a bit about my own consumer-experience with the company.
I have personally purchased a
number of items from YESASIA over the last year and each purchase has
gone flawlessly. YESASIA.COM has a great selection of
music and movies that is not easy to find (if available at all) in the
West.
I have been watching Jet Li's
FEARLESS in my cozy little home theater for months...while the
film has only just made its theatrical release in the USA.
I have been enjoying BASIL POLEDOURIS' score for THE TOUCH for
a number weeks as well...and in wonderful 5.1 Dolby Digital. I
also recently purchased SOUL OF THE ULTIMATE NATION and
BRAVE STORY.
Seeing the need that YESASIA.COM
has met for me personally, it seemed natural to present their unique
products here at Tracksounds, so people like you could enjoy the same
benefits:
1) Secure shopping through
VERISIGN
2) Charged only when item
ships
4)
Familiar Amazon layout
5) MANY ITEMS
QUALIFY FOR FREE SHIPPING!
So not only is Tracksounds an
affiliate of YESASIA, but I'm also a customer. Take a moment to
look around their site and give them a try. I believe you'll be
pleased.
