Happy Face 29 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 These Japanese films you all watch....are they just full of long, drawn-out fight scenes or do they actually have decent stories? Fight scenes in films are about as interesting as car chases in films to me. 164989[/snapback] I'm far from knowlegable so I'm happy to be corrected but from what I can gather, there's 3 centres's of Asian film:- Hong Kong tends to be more action oriented. More spectacle. The Hollywood of the East. Japan has more of a classic heratige than a thriving business at the moment. Kurosawa, Ozu, Kobayashi, Mizoguchi etc. Very slow and brooding. What action there is, is realistic and in short bursts. At the moment their best export is the cartoons of Hayao Miyazaki, the slower yakuza films of Takeshi Kitano or the bizarre mind-fucks of Takashi Miike. I think the most exciting area at the moment is South Korea. Kim Ki-duk, Chan-wook Park and that. A younger generation of director coming through.

Gemmill 35507 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Just finished watching Infernal Affairs. It was decent enough. Although I found myself wondering what it would have been like had it been English speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead mans chest Very entertaining, much like the first, many laugh out loud moments, well set up for a third movie, good lighthearted fun.

Kid Dynamite 6084 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Boyes was selling the Indiana Jones Trilogy on VHS today for £2.99. So il probably fall asleep watching the lost ark tonight. Theres something about videos that is still special to me. reminds me of being a kid. watching the goonies or flight of the navigator on DVD doesnt have the same effect without the grainy screen and whirring video sound. I dont think il ever chuck my video collection, hopefully it will be as sacred as vinyl one day!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 hide and seek but of fun like, although I wish bobby deniro would stop overacting these days! its so unbecoming on a man of his stature! 166398[/snapback] Canny film but the "twist"was a obvious considering the cast. There also seemed to be glaring error in that when her off Cocktail came into the house Bobby was asleep in his study then all of a sudden he was in the cupboard! Be Cool. Not a patch on Get Shorty but I can't bring myself to dislike anything I've seen with Vince Vaughn in. The Rock was also good in it. I also started watching They Live last night too but I passed out about five minutes in. I hadn't realised John Carpenter directed it so I will be definitely be looking out for it next time it's on.

He just seemed to be being underused so I just assumed it must be him. I'm not usually very good at getting things this but I think it must of been because I didn't get involved in the film that much. Btw if anyone hasn't seen this film don't read what I am writing because I am totally fucking up the ending for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus 0 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Just watched the proposition. very good film - incredibly gorey in places for what is more or less a western ( but set in australia). guy pearce seems to get better and better in every film. if anyone hasnt seen ravenous with pearce and robert carlisle, get it. brilliant stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6084 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Nearly downloaded clerks 2. Cant wait. I remember seeing clerks when i was like 13, and thinking it was the coolest film ever. Then after the likes of dogma and jay and silent bob every fucker started watching his films and he became cool. Which in a strange kind of way made him uncool. Its the same with bands, you find one you love, but arent very popular, and you feel special, like youre in on some special secret. And then a month later Alan Robson is saying how cool they are on nightowls and it isnt the same again. I remember how awesome i felt when i first got my ipod. For months I never saw another person with one, and people would always sneak a look to see what it was, and then *BOOM* every student in town got one for xmas!!!

Tooj 17 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Ended up watching Dodgeball and then the classic that is True Romance round wor lasses house tonight as they were on Sky Movies.
