I just finished watching Appleseed. It was alright. Some good eye candy in it but the plot wasn't as good as I hoped it to be. I found myself zoning out a of couple times during the action scenes . The main character, Deunan, is my avatar.

Wild Zero

Well, Mystic, I finally got around to watching Wild Zero last night. It was throughly silly, with a few laugh-out-loud moments, and some pretty crappy music. Worth watching once but then delete-able.

At least I finally understand the comedy in Mystic's old avatar ...

6/10

Just watched "Spin Kick",

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0406713/

Fun movie, I enjoyed it alot and it was pretty funny, I was laughing out loud a couple of times.

Watched 2046 the other day as well, it's one of those slow paced films which makes you think a lot, but overall I enjoyed it and the cinematography is certainly classable as "unique".

Just finished watching Il Mare. Great movie even though I don't like romantic movies. Maybe it's just the hollywood ones that suck. Oh and unfortunately, there's going to be a remake.

My Rating: 9/10!

Ok, finally got around to watching Casshern.

Verdict: ass.

The movie may have been live-action, but the plot (or lack thereof) was completely anime in nature. Absolutely no connection of events to each other. Completely random occurrences were necessary to further the inane plot.

Some interesting action but pretty dumb graphics compared to the other digital-background movies that have been released thus far (Immortel (ad vitam), Sky Captain, etc.).

I guess it's worth a watch, and the very, very ending is somewhat inspirational, but sitting through this thing more than once is too much of a price to pay for a bit of pop philosophy.

5/10

3-Iron by Kim Ki-duk ("The Isle", "Samaria", "Spring, Summer...") is what I've literally just finished watching.

Not sure what to make of it...definitely worth seeing, has the same light and airy atmosphere with a very spiritual undertone that runs through other Ki-duk movies...or is it overtone?

Anyway, it's kinda off-the-wall, chilled and a little weird. And if you're not good with subs you'll probably appreciate there being almost no dialogue for long, long stretches of the movie - it took me about 5mins of scanning to find somewhere with dialogue to check the subs were OK before watching

I thought Immortel had one of the worst blend of cgi I've ever seen. lol guess we have different taste.

I gotta say, its one of the greatest Asian war movie i have ever seen.

Just watched this and I agree it was a VERY good war movie. Some of the fight scenes/deaths looked a little bit fake, but the large amounts of blood more than made up for it. I liked the battle for power sub-plot as well, and also the kind of underlying rivalry between Yeosol and the General to protect the Princess.

IMO this movie is worthy of an 8/10, definitely worth a watch.

Gonna watch "Taegukgi" next when I get time, it looks incredible.

Sweet. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet (its a fucking long film!).

On a better note, my Infernal Affairs SE Trilogy Boxset got here today. IMO one of the best trilogys ever made.

Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged

just bought this, house of flying daggers boxset limited to 2,000 copies wasn't too badly priced (the box is bigger than it looks, i've seen proper photos) and the print on the new disc is TONS better than the version going around before. i haven't checked, but that definitely needs propering.

http://www.reviews.dvdbeaver.com/fi...yingdaggers.htm

doesn't show the differences as well as the other comparison i've seen (its the skintones that have a massive difference, see the last shot) but you can easily tell the edko print is MILES better.

also bought windstruck (same cast/crew as sassy girl but i've heard its not good now ) and world without thieves (andy lau!) so looking forward to those arriving.

also....

if using yesasia, please could you use the following link?

yeah? thats a shame, the boxset looks really nice too. i've seen a fair few infernal affiars boxsets, wanted the "criterion" one (wasn't made by criterion tho!) the most, but it was very limited and very expensive. looked superb tho.

the HOFD disc wasn't too bad on the 20" FS tv we watched it on, but on my set i wouldn't want to watch it. i'll let the guy who borrowed the dvdr keep it probably, i don't think the prints differ in any way so no point me keeping it.

i still need kill bill vol2 japanese boxset to go with my volume 1
