Which one?

mehro · 21st August 2007, 17:48

The one by Kitano

Spoonatov · 21st August 2007, 17:48

Yes.

Check out Dolls, Sonatine and Hana-Bi, too.

olesmyhero · 21st August 2007, 17:51

Yes, it is good.

Spoonatov · 21st August 2007, 17:57

How come you're watching so many films, Ole?

That said, it's got possibly the fittest woman I've ever seen in it.

I liked Barry Lyndon

Azumi 2. Not as good as Azumi. The action isn't as well handled, and some of the characters are over the top. There are certainly worse ways to spend almost 2 hours. It's an average action flick.

Spoonatov · 22nd August 2007, 11:36

Finished off Azumi. Was good. Won't win a prize for the greatest film ever made. . .but as an action flick goes, it was enjoyable. Suppose just what I need after watching El Topo and The Holy Mountain.

reelworld · 22nd August 2007, 11:54

Watched Ratatouille the other day.
What a delightful movie. Brad Bird increasingly become one of my favorite directors. Top notch animation again by Pixar, good story about love, friendship family and chasing your dreams without the message being shoved down our throats.
A very good flick to watched it with your family.

redmanc · 22nd August 2007, 13:38

I was just looking over IMDB and found a new film coming out with Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman called 'The Invasion' seems its a remake of the Body Snatchers, Donald Sutherlands 1978 remake was amazing, even for an old film. I dont expect this to match it but im gonna watch it nevertheless, getting it now

I like the look of this. Wil check it out, no doubt.

Anyway, cuntos. What should I watch tonight?

Fudoh: The New Generation
Deadly Outlaws: Rekka
Andrei Rublov
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
Rififi

?

Wibble · 22nd August 2007, 14:49

I saw the first and last 5 minutes of the latest Mr Bean movie recently. If you thought the first one was shit then you are in for an unpkleasant suprise. Even my 8 year old (surely the key demographic) found it unfunny and boring. -5/10

uae · 22nd August 2007, 14:52

yes, bean was rather crap. Annoying more than anything else.

Spammy · 22nd August 2007, 15:29

mehro, watched Zatoichi yet?

Which one? The Beat Takeshi remake or some of the originals?

They're all good, but as I said before I have a soft spot for Samurai movies.

Mehro, you should watch Beat Takeshi's Samurai movie 'Taboo'...it's right up your..ahem..alley. Ahh, Takeshi only acts in the movie, he is not the director...either way I'm sure you'll love it...

mehro · 22nd August 2007, 17:49

Takeshi's, Doc. I'll check out Taboo.

Takeshi's is a good one. I liked it very much.

Taboo is a good flick, though it will probably rub you the wrong way. Worth it though, it's not often you can cringe like that.

Dark Blue World

British-Czech co-production about Czechoslovakian fighter pilots who go to England to join the RAF to fight the Nazis. The plot centres on the trials of two best friends and fighter pilots who both fall in love with the same English woman. The narrative unfolds in flashback form, with the present being set in the Czechoslovakian jail in which the main character is being detained by the communist government in 1950.

The highlight of the film would have to be scenes featuring aerial combat between the British and German planes. Not only is it easy on the eye, but it also does a good job of conveying the tactical movements instead of just showing random planes pinging bullets at each other. Also an excellent soundtrack, and the director manages a shifting narrative with good effect while delivering multiple layers of story. Well worth watching.

8/10

Spoonatov · 22nd August 2007, 19:09

Hiroshi Inagaki's work any good?

I will have to check this out.

olesmyhero · 23rd August 2007, 16:17

Big Nothing. Average at best comedy heist film. The soundtrack is pretty good, but the movie falls into many cliches.

Spoonatov · 23rd August 2007, 16:21

Deadly Outlaw Rekka. Not a patch on Rainy Doy, but a decent film nonetheless. More style of substance, though.

Spoonatov · 23rd August 2007, 18:20

Cincs. Fateless, any good? (Hungarian one)

Salvation · 23rd August 2007, 18:21

I think I too might download MR's movie

Been a while since I've seen a good war movie

Spoonatov · 23rd August 2007, 18:24

You'll probably hate it, Salv. Citing weak character development and not enough gay scenes or something.

Salvation · 23rd August 2007, 18:26

No, that's Saving Private Ryan and I've stated my unhappiness at it before...

mehro · 23rd August 2007, 18:29

I listed 4 great war movies the other day. I can't believe not one of you idiots has seen it yet.

Spoonatov · 23rd August 2007, 18:31

Which ones were they then?

I've seen Come and See and Ivan's Childhood, lately.
