MOVIES OF THE SOUTH SEAS

Numerous adventure movies featuring the SouthSeas and the islands of the Pacific have been produced over the years, and a rare few done by some countries found in the Pacific or nearby Asian countries.....but the usual 'Hollywood interpretation' of: sandy beaches, shipwrecks,beautiful maidens(clad or unclad), buried or sunken treasures, pearls, pirates, mutinies, typhoons, sharks, cannibals, giant squids, etc. have prove successful over the years.....nearly every star or actress has done something in this genre but a lot of films are ignored or forgotten that deserve to be seen and appreciated.....whether boring, entertaining, or thrilling.... JOHN WAYNE, incidentally, remains the number one actor and one of the earlier ones, to have made such films, outdoing many others in numbers.....his output on films is amazing but the public still remains somewhat ignorant of his early works,including some of the westerns which are now being recycled and repackaged, probably making more money now that he is dead than when he was alive...everyone in the world,it would seem, knows of John Wayne who is attributed by many as 'winning WWII singlehandedly' and so on..

ASIAN MOVIES & ASIAN MARTIAL ARTS MOVIES

I have decided to include other Asian movies, especially those of martial arts here....and may separate certain categories, like ninjas, samurai,etc. to other blogs depending on my materials in my collections which are apt to be rather numerous and the time I really want and feel necessary to devote to this 'self-assumed task" that I impose on myself among the many that I do....

FILIPINO MOVIES & PHILIPPINE FILMS

FILIPINO MOVIES ARE THOSE MADE BY FILIPINOS FOR THE PHILIPPINES, WHILE PHILIPPINE MOVIES ARE THOSE MADE BY FOREIGN COMPANIES, ACTORS,ETC. FOR FOREIGN CONSUMPTIONS USUALLY. More on this later.
