julianw Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 Kung Fu Hustle Meh. It was okay. Wasn't really that funny. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But you are reading subtitles or worse, watching a dubbed version. Even people watched the film in Mandarin thought it was way funnier in Cantonese since Chow's delivery in Cantonese is his bread and butter.
astr0creep Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Da Vinci Code T'was ok. Very similar to the book, no real surprises. Pacing is stable and slow. Gandalf was excellent as usual. For fans of the book only imo. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Krookie Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 wedding crashers Not the first time I've seen it, but still funny.
Kor Qel Droma Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) North by Northwest - Great old time flick. Great pick, Kelverin. I watched Cool Hand Luke again today. Dragline and his Lucille. LOL. edit: and Surreptishus, were you impressed with the plane crash scene in Superman Returns? Edited July 17, 2006 by Kor Qel Droma Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Surreptishus Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Yes, who didn't like the plane sequence? That was quintessential Superman. As for Lois, why did she take off her belt? Doesn't she know you're supposed to get into the crash position? Duh! I need to see this film again. This time at IMAX.
Tigranes Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Has anybody seen Gondry's Science of Sleep (Le science des reves) or The Valet (Veber, La Doublure)? It's film festival time in NZ and I'm wondering if I should bother with them. I like Gondry and The Closet was fun (Veber), but the reviews aren't so glittering for the latter and Gondry may be a little too avant for the people I"m watching with.

Eclecticist Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 North by Northwest is one of my all time favourites. Can't get enough of Grant.

Gfted1 Posted July 17, 2006 Author Posted July 17, 2006 Domino Average at best. Kiera Knightly needs to never ever try to act the tough girl again but all was forgiven with her nudity. Mickey Rourk and Watkins are gold as usual but I found the plot just a little too over-the-top. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

Saw the subtitled version, liked it better. Maybe you should teach me Cantonese so I can enjoy the movie to its fullest.

Mickey Rourk and Watkins are gold as usual but I found the plot just a little too over-the-top. Isn't it a true story? Well at the beginning the credits say; "Based on a true story.......sort of" And at the end the narrator (Kiera) says "and I wont tell you which parts were true", so make of it what you will. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Pidesco Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 I saw Squid And The Whale today. It's pretty good, though mostly for the acting. The story and directing are just ok. Has anyone seen Me And You And Everyone We Know or Klimt? If so, what did you think about them? "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Baley Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Me And You And Everyone We Know <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hear that be the worst movie in the history of cinema (yes, worse than Godard, Tati and Resnais put together) and a pathetic broad's crowning achievement. I suggest you read the plot outline and then rent, um, have you seen Visitor Q, A Short Film About Killing or Baisers vol

See if it piques their interest at all.
thepixiesrock Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 It's peaked my interest! Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
Draken Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Kung Fu Hustle owned. I watched Waiting for Guffman. "You people are bastard people, that's why! I'm going to go home and bite my pillow is what I'm going to do!" Seriously, only like, three people can touch my body

Even people watched the film in Mandarin thought it was way funnier in Cantonese since Chow's delivery in Cantonese is his bread and butter. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Kung Fu Hustle is definitely a top contender for my favourite movie of all time. Absolutely love that movie so much, despite the fact that it may be dubbed and I might not actually have seen the true humour behind the story, etc, I still love everything about it. Maybe the only thing I didn't like was the part where they all of a sudden turn into superman and start running ridiculously fast. Meh.
