Saw "The House Of Flying Daggers" from the director of "Hero".
It definetally has a more interesting concept than "Hero" and maybe better movie overall.
Also "In America" which was very good and emotional - with 2 little girls that will become great actresses

Sorry to break the trend of discussion about more "serious" movies, but I saw Dodgeball yesterday. That movie is great because -
a) Rip Torn
b) People getting hit in the face
c) Ben Stiller Rules
d) Ben Stiller's Wife's Aunt worked at my dad's shop for a long time - so technically, I kind of scored.

The title tells you everything.
Next up is Versus, Soul 9 (for review), a Bettie Page film (also for review) then Gozu, and Rushmore. Finally when I've seen the Hills Have Eyes, Suicide Circle, and Naked Blood I'll have worked my way through my current DVD backlog.

That's one movie I'd really like to see. Good to hear someone's liking it, so far I've only seen it reviewed by a professional reviewer who didn't like it that much so I got a bit worried. Yimou Zhang is godly (as well as Ziyi Zhang :]~~)IOfTheStorm said:

I hope Keaueneu doesn't say "woah" in this movie. John Constantine is too busy kicking ass to step back and ponder away with such words like woah.

Hellboy: Very very good cheesy action flick, funny addition of Lovecraft related stuff in it.
The Life And Death Of Peter Sellers: I watched it with interest, yet i cant believe that Sellers was all the film said he was only.
The thread should be renamed "last film you saw" - thats what we all talk about hah

Battle Royale was excellent. They could only get away with 14 year olds killing each other and their teachers in Japan.
Hellboy was rather idiotic, but it was at least entertaining while it was on the screen. The final scenes were rather idiotic; i take it that apocalyptic octopi was a reference to Lovecraft.
I did just see the Fall of the Roman Empire on TCM, it was the movie the atrocious Gladiator was based on; needless to say it was a lot better than Gladiator, and it had a young attractive Sophia Loren, and James Mason stealing every scene he was in. They recreated the Roman forum, and thats reason enough to watch the movie.

Be still, O wand'rer!
US release dates don't mean shit anymore. People in the US need to stop buying crappy region 1 DVD players (for the same price as multi-regional - it makes ZERO sense).lurch70 said:
With that said, you've been able to get a region 0 of Battle Royale (uncut) on eBay for a couple of years now....and for less than $10. Region 0 will work on any DVD player!
I would be wary of a 'special edition' US release....I'm sure someone on the net had already drafted a comparison of it next to the uncut version. When it comes to Battle Royale (part 1), DO NOT GET THE CUT VERSION.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
It's so funny because that really is a poor movie in many many ways, but at the same time enjoyable to watch.speed said:

This is was pretty stupid...and not in a good way. The jokes were lame and outdated.
Troy
It was good. It's not the POS some think, and it's not the masterpiece others think. It was a slighty above average movie that could've been so much more. Seriously, this thing could've been similar in scope and as epic as Braveheart, if only the director would not have been scared to challenge his audience. In a nutshell, this thing was Semi-Epic Eye Candy.
I honestly think it's biggest problem was not pointing out a clear protagonist and antagonist. Seriously, who am I rooting for?
Am I rooting for Achilles? A man who simply wants to be remembered throughout the generations as a fierce warrior, but has no allegiances other than to himself.
Paris and Helen? Their love was a crock, and I didn't buy it. Helen was barely in the movie, and Paris was such a pussy I wanted him to die.
Hector? This was clearly the easiest person to root for, but when he fights Achilles, I didn't know who I wanted to win.
Greeks or Trojans? Both kings were fools full of pride, even if Agamemnon was the worst of the evils. He was clearly meant to be the movie's antagonist, but then we have the whole Hector vs Achilles vs Agamemnon vs Priam thing. And to top it off, we're suppose to hate Agamemnon and the Greeks (of which Achilles is one), and they throw Odysseus (hero of The Odyssey) in there, which makes it harder for me to hate the Greeks.
That whole thing kinda confused me and, in the end, I didn't give a damn who lived or died, though the one person that should've died the most, ended up living which pissed me off.
As far as the other stuff, the visuals were OK, but you can't do much with a beach, which is where 90% of the movie takes place.

I thought this was the best thing about the movie ... that everyone was somewhat human.
The Ebert review does have a problem with this however ... noting that Achilles is too much psychologically conflicted, whereas in the book .. he is basically a brute warrior.
