I can't believe what I just read. Someone on this planet actually likes Bulletproof Monk?! It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen in a while. Simply he fact that it had Nazis seeking some source of power already degrades it to a low level (can't come up with anything original?); but the whole story/theme of the movie was very shallow and terrible. This itself would not be so bad if only the movie did not actually take this "message" seriously instead of embedding it everywhere. I must agree with Monqui... If I ever had to watch that movie again, I would... I would...

*meditates for a long time, praising Kill Bill, then commits seppaku*

well, i am not burning effigies to the monk movie or something, i am just saying, i preferred it to CTHD .. it was not as bad as you said tho

still, it doesn't fall into the same bracket as african queen either...

if you wanna know the truth, i have a nearly 2 year old grandson, his favorite movie is "dinosaur" i have seen it almost 100 times now, watched it so much that the color is fading from it, but i watch it every single time i am home and he is here, as many times as he wishes

it has re-watch-ability especially when you throw in his joy as well ..

Oh yeah? Well, what about that fight between Peter and the invalid coupon giving chicken on Family Guy? Yeah, that's what I thought. Uma can't handle that.

Just a warning.

Don't see House of the Dead. Ever. Please. I just got back and... just... wow. Its almost better than "House of 1000 Corpses". Almost...

It was funny only because we 4 out of the 8 people in the theater. By the end, we were all cracking jokes about it with each other. So in that sense, its a good way to meet interesting new people. But the movie? Stay away. I think there was, at MAX, 1 good shot. Not one good scene, one good SHOT. And they showed the good part of it in the commercials. Blegch. [addsig]

CTHD bashing?! No no no! Its a quality film, the first Chinese movie that really struck a chord with me and I'm now a big fan of Hong Kong cinema.

Anyone here seen Hero? I know a few folks have, and this has been mentioned before, but if you haven't seen it I thoroughly recommend you do. Excellent martial arts action, a nice interesting story, and that "whoa!" factor happens quite frequently.

downloaded it days after you mentioned it, tis a nice flick ..

personally, one of my altime favorite chink flick was "anne and the king" very much in the "re-watchable" categorie

I'm with ya whole heartedly on Hero, ReNo, but I just didn't think CTHD was as great as everyone said it was. I mean, sure, it had a decent plot, looked nice, and had a very good director behind it, but I really don't think all the praise heaped upon it was fully warrented. [addsig]

Translation is sort of botched for CTHD (the subtitles are decent, but the dub is pretty bad); it's better if you speak Chinese, as the dialogue will sound much more beautiful and poetic. But of course not everyone speaks Chinese, and thus can't really feel the full impact of the film... [addsig]

I don't watched dubbed things, other than anime, which is normally dubbed pretty well. Subtitles all the way for me [addsig]

Yeah I can't imagine Ring working too well if it had been dubbed. Kinda frustrating at times trying to read and watch what's happening on the rest of the screen at the same time as you tend to miss the odd small detail but it gives a better overall experience.

Not seen Kill Bill yet, but I might try and get to the cinema this weekend. Looks pretty good
