The Butterfly

Yes, that is the American style of writing the date. It is for my own housekeeping as the date doesn’t appear on my phone and I like to see when I wrote a certain review. After 600 reviews I tend to lose track of when I watched something.

As I recall they did give an estimate of how far they were in the future but I don’t remember when that reveal came about. I hope you enjoy the rest of it.

Definitely falls into the guilty pleasure but not too guilty. I mentioned the edits could be abrupt but given the short time, they told a lot of story.

It’s a mystery! 😁

But the more profound question may be—how did the Meg end up on the snow covered mountains? Not one but several giant sharks? 😄

I don’t know why but Hopping Vampires crack me up. And Hoppy was mostly played for laughs. This movie was bizarre but had its funny and creepy moments. It was the slow ones that are like death in a kung fu movie.

And despite how gifted and talented she is, she’s 35 and those kind of roles will become less available. And amazing roles for women in film don’t come around often enough as it is-in any country.

TROP will always be one of my favorites of hers. Parallel Worlds isn't bad although I don't understand their mythology. The role seems to fit her well. We won't talk about The Warrior's Gate. 😄 Now that was a ridiculous white savior movie.

I like that all three women have a different physicality. He certainly saw talent with Ni Ni. This was an excellent role to introduce her to the world.

Dear goodness she was gorgeous in this film.

The story is slow to begin with and then kicks it into high gear. Like nearly all ZYM films it is gorgeous to look at. This is my second time to watch it.

Thank you! 😊

After the comment below I deleted most of the reasons. Even though I did it with humor thought maybe I’d been too mean. I never got personal it’s all about how I view their job performance. Maybe I’ll put the comments back in sometime. 😁 person below lives in their own world. I’m honestly surprised when anyone from MDL finds this list. Cannot imagine any actor searching through the thousand of members of MDL and then down to the bottom of my lists and getting their feelings hurt because some random woman doesn’t like their acting 😄

There are some that have been in trouble for pervy behavior. But mostly it’s the screechers, baby talkers, hair actors, planks of wood, or had so much facial work done they can no longer show emotion. A lot of them are very popular, they just don’t do it for me. I’m a big believer in vive la difference! ❤️

The country of origin is USA so it cannot be added. Much like Minari

This is a joint China-USA film. MDL has numerous films that are joint projects and are included as long as one of them is a country in our DB. 🦈 💕

Me, too! 🥲

Team Godzilla all the way! Unless Mothra is around. 🦋🩷

I’ve watched all the Godzilla films I could find. Thankfully, Japan has a new one coming out in November!

Too bad the pairing wasn’t great, but glad to hear it was entertaining. Would love to watch it sometime for Ni Ni.

Hmm…I hope it’s supposed to be a shorter drama. Not sure this one could be dragged out into 50 episodes. Having said that I would like to have seen more (any) character development and a drama could do that. All of the characters were enigmas and the Yu family never said a word.

I’ve watched several versions including Jet Li’s remake that takes place after this one. This movie was fun but I liked King Hu’s Touch of Zen and Come Drink with Me better.

Thank you so much for your kind words!
