:-D awesome. I'm watching it RIGHT NOW. Vol2 kicked ass as well. I have a 3-time rule going for me. I can't say whether or not I really didn't like a movie until the third time. I didn't even like Reservoir Dogs until the third time I saw it. 0 Replies | Report Abuse |

Yojimbo kind of disappointed me, too. But Kurasawa just doesn't do it for me in general for some reason. Mifune is a badass, though. 0 Replies | Report Abuse 
Seven Samurai is much better, IMHO. Try that out. Mifune is a younger badass. Then watch The Magnificent Seven and you'll see how much was lifted from Samurai, even though its a good Western. For some reason I got more out of the supporting characters in Donnie Darko. They make the film for me. 0 Replies | Report Abuse 
How is it that you own 5 of the man's films but have only watched one of them? 1 Replies | Report Abuse
Most of my films are blind-buys, so it takes me a while to watch them all. I'm slowly starting to watch more films and I'll be watching the rest of my Kurosawa films in the near future. 0 Replies | Report Abuse 
I too own 4 of Kurosawa's films, yet I've only seen Seven Samurai. They all came in one package and I haven't had time to watch all of 'em (perhaps cuz they're usually too long). So, I just gotta be in the right mood to watch this classic movie. 0 Replies | Report Abuse

Ack, I remember seeing this for the first time on cable around 3 a.m., fever ridden and utterly confused. I did not fare much better upon my second, healthy viewing. I'd not have rated it so high, if only because I was left with a less than satisfactory conclusion.

Who was after her? - No actual person (besides the detectives looking for her [Betty/Diane] when we see she put out the "hit" on Rita/Camilla Rhodes at the end of the film, though we actually see the "hit" take place in the first scene of the film; basically, the beginning is the end); it was all symbolism of her past haunting her.

How do you view the characters of Josh(the guy Rebecca and Enid like to torture) and Norman (the guy who is waiting for the bus)? I think these are the two deficiencies of the film. Josh is a minor character like Enid's father and Maxine, but he doesn't fit in the background well enough. He deserved some exposition. As for Norman, he is only a metaphor, not even a character. Just an actor playing a symbol. I think the bus ending could have been done without such obvious symbolism. 1 Replies | Report Abuse
Without them, the film wouldn't have worked well as a whole. I think that if Zwigoff would have placed more emphasis on each character, it would have sent its main characters (Enid, Rebecca, and Seymour) into the realm of "meh, who cares?" Focusing too much on secondary characters is something that many films make the mistake of doing. I can't imagine having it end any other way. There have been several different interpretations of this film in general, but I highly doubt that an alternate en 0 Replies | Report Abuse |

I think that anyone with a fundamental appreciation for Asian culture in general will almost automatically recognize the "impactful content". I'm not sure it can be something pointed out, but just the overall simplicity portrayed in many Asian films is what strikes me as a breath of fresh air amidst all the action-packed, dialogue cluttered films we see in mainstream America. 1 Replies | Report Abuse
heh heh...it seems I made up a word (impactful) in response to your doing the same (impactual), but it all worked out! So, you find simplicity to be impactamundous, in other words. As far as Asian culture goes, I don't know if there was so much that another culture could not identify, when you use other films as a benchmark, but I suppose that goes to the individual. Zen belief, dedication to art, metaphors of the sword, love of country, sacrifice for ideal...is that what you mean? 1 Replies | Report Abuse

it's Moodysson's best I had to download it, and watch it in Russian with Swedish subtitles, but it was still my favorite film of 2003. 1 Replies | Report Abuse
It sounds like a film I'd enjoy, so I'll definitely keep my eye out for it.
You rated Jacob's Ladder 4/10 and said you wanted to see Lilja 4-Ever? I cry. 0 Replies | Report Abuse
Good to see you have got Kitano's [i]Zatoichi[/i]. My favourite film last year [/fanboy]. And [i]Sonatine[/i] is not for everyone, so here's hoping you'll enjoy it. [i]Attack the Gas Station[/i], 6/10? It was a lot of fun, admit it. 1 Replies | Report Abuse

Wow, mere days after writing my slobbering review of Infernal Affairs, you give it a 4. I'm hurt for some reason. 1 Replies | Report Abuse
You'll probably be hurt once again with my [i]Million Dollar Baby[/i] rating [if and when I actually find time to write a review]. Initially I had thoughts of giving it borderline rotten and now it's barely fresh. 1 Replies | Report Abuse
Well, if you give Annie Hall a 9, it's obvious that we have vastly different tastes in movies. 1 Replies | Report Abuse

Well just in case you didn't know, Army of Darkness is Evil Dead 3. And Bubba Ho-Tep ruled.

Thank you Captain Obvious. *edits entry* [i]Bubba Ho-Tep[/i] was pure "meh" material aside from Campbell's performance.

Bubba... is more difficult to enjoy than the Evil Dead movies. I liked the documentary that included Bruce on the DVD as much as anything else. Singin' in the Rain is one of a select few musicals in my collection. Its a Happy movie!

Ok, first, Angelina Jolie is so hot that rating Taking Lives 1/10 is just wrong. And Bubba Ho-Tep kicks ass, you silly gimp.

West Side Story is my favorite musical. But it?s ok, you?re entitled to deviate from my opinion. For now. And I though Buppa Ho-Tep was entertaining but nothing special as well.

So Taking Lives wasn't that great, but a 1/10?! Come on! I watched it last night. It wasn't that bad. Your mini review of Bubba Hotep was dead on, but I gave it 6/10 'cause Bruce's performance deserves a tomato!

I thought I was actually being highly generous with the half star (Angelina saved it from a zero star rating). Upon reading your review for it, I agree, you need to watch a lot more....and I mean a significant amount more....thrillers because you obviously are easily entertained by mainstream cliché "thrillers" that basically fall into the category of "you've seen one, you've seen them all". ;)

If you liked "Singin' in the Rain," you should definitely check out Vincente Minnelli's "The Pirate." As an actor, I don't think Gene Kelly's ever been better.

I didn't think Taking Lives was that bad, I first gave it a 6, but realized there is too much wrong and gave it a 5. What did it for me was numerous plotholes and implausabilities made it to the point of just being a false world. However, I don't get your complaints on the vainity. I remember Hawke taking his shirt off maybe once at best...maybe that was the extended cut?

No, it was the regular version. But still, ugh. Okay, Angelina was much worse when it came to the vanity....*suddenly loses train of thought*....I just thought it was incredibly irritating.

The problem is I can't watch too many thrillers because I'm easily frightened. When Angelina went down in that basement I kept telling myself, "It's just a movie. It's just a movie."
