Do you ever have a hard time remembering something and it starts to drive you batty? At times like these I am glad I’m a librarian, because if I sit down and think a little bit I will be able to use my librarian powers to figure out the answer. This afternoon I was wracking my brain, trying to remember the title of a recently released Chinese martial arts movie that hasn’t come out in the US yet, was directed by a fairly well-known director, and the English title had either one or two words in it. I read about it on a web site, but I couldn’t remember where. I used the imdb power search to look for movies from 2000-2005, with China as the country of origin, looking for either action or adventure as a genre and excluding TV shows or TV movies. I pulled up a really long list of results, but I think I found the movie I was trying to remember, Seven Swords. Here’s the French trailer. Why hasn’t it been released in the U.S yet?

In going through the list, I stumbled across the title, Shaolin VS Evil Dead. Doesn’t that also sound great?
