Mikami Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 (edited) No, I have not seen them all, yet. But, I would love, too. The Tsutaiya near my home does not have all of them. Another great movie series is TOEI studios version of Miyamoto Musashi.Not to be confussed with NHK's 80's Musashi, or NHK's 2003-2004 version.See this link for a review: http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...6248988-4839556 Edited March 15, 2005 by Mikami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auvi_Joe Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 (edited) Saw this movie called "When I Close My Eyes" AKA "Love Letter" the other day.....http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113703/Fantastic movie. Actually I watched this as a follow up to another movie last week, also another very fantastic movie: "Il Mare" AKA "Siworae" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0282599/Il Mare is going to be remade in Hollypoop starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra bullock, hope they don't rename it something like "Speed- Just Slower" or something like that. Ishiyoshi said.......I have yet to watch TOEI Studio's version of Miyamoto Musashi. It sure sounds promising.Ishi, I have all 3 of Samurai's(Miyamoto Musashi) from the Criterion, is TOEI Studio's version any different from them? Love these movie and old LoneWolf and Cub series as well as ZatoIchi and Oichi movies. Edited March 28, 2005 by Auvi_Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I saw "Be Cool" on Tuesday night.Worth watching for the exceptional performances from The Rock (as Elliot the gay bodyguard) and Vince Vaughn as the low-life he is guarding. Especially The Rock.Other sterling performances from 'Cedric the Entertainer', and Andre 3000 (from Outkast).However, as a piece of cinema, it fails to gel. It is a film which might have sounded good on paper, but turns out be be less than the sum of its parts. It fails to 'be cool', if you will.Overall score - 5/10.To compare sequels - Be Cool is to Get Shorty as Oceans Twelve is to Oceans Eleven.

Auvi_Joe Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Just saw "Last Life In The Universe/Ruang rak noi nid mahasan" IMDB link last night(a couple of rewinds/repeats as well ). If you like movies like "Lost In Translation", this is going a good one for you. Tadanobu Asano (Kakihara in Ichi the Killer) did a very good job there, although his character in this movie is on the opposite spectrum than in Ichi The Killer.Christopher Doyle did the Cinematography (you may be familiar with his work in Hero) and also cameo appearance by Takashi Miike. Available on DVD, a keeper for me. Good for repeated viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishiyoshi Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hello everyone. My first post here.←Welcome KrazyIvan. I watched the "House of Flying Daggers" over the weekend. The plot, however, was weak and could use further refinement. But, the film as a whole was visually brilliant and the costumes were fantastic. Excellent cinematography!

Rob F1UK Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Two that spring imediately to mind...Garden State last night, which apart from the swearing was very impressive I thought.The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy on Monday evening, a few things changed from the book granted, but I think they worked in the context of the film, and it is viciously funny from the end of the first third forward..!

Fat Tires Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 I saw National Treasure and Everest this week. National Treasure was a surprise, I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Everest was a let down though. I expected more than just a 45min travel diary. It was moving though, I do not regret watching it at all.

Bananatree Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 "Hero" (I'm addicted to Martial Arts movies right now) as well, I am watching "Dogville" right now. It looks promising, and obscure.I also watched a DVD from a Emo/Hardcore band called "Story of the Year". It's them playing in St. Louis, the band has crazy amounts of energy. The guitarists do synchronized ninja kicks while playing guitars. It was so great me and my pals spent a good hour trying to imitate the kicks.Better that than Hero I guess. (In the sense of me and my friends imitating it, rather than the quality of the film. Hero rocked my socks.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
