well now you know another person that didnt like it. 

yes, I meant to add 'before Nitin's comment, I was the only . . .'. I got distracted with visions of Kim Cattrall in an 80's puff dew in my head.

My brother made me watch it with his family a few weeks back. It is still fresh in my memory. 

Oh well. :)

It's ninjas and magic and goofy shit and Kurt Russell making smart-ass comments, and tongue-in-cheek way out to here. What's not to like? :)

I think David LoPan said it best.

rocks! Me and 4 other guys hit the clubs dressed as ninjas last night, so I've got background experience to support my opinion.

True Romance:
It's been a while since I saw this, but it was really good, christian slater in particular does a great job. Seems like it tries a little bit hard sometimes though... I know it's a Tarantino script, but it's SO Tarantino, it grates a little bit.

Raiders of the lost Ark:
Spielberg + George Lucas + Harrison Ford = Pure Entertainment
If you haven't seen the Indy films then seriously, what are you thinking? I don't know why I'm even commenting on this, other than because it makes me happy just thinking about it.
Need you sa 

you can complete the sentence yourself if you feel like it 

ve up a cellar of diseased rat-monkies for sexual relief? 

You just listen to the ol' Pork Chop Express an' take his advice on a dark and stormy night when some wild-eyed eight-foot tall maniac grabs your neck an' taps the back of your favorite head up against a barroom wall. An' he looks you crooked in the eye an' he asks if you've paid your dues. You look right back at that big sucker an' remember what Jack Burton
always says at times like that.

"Have you paid your dues, Jack"

"No, sir, I've just charged 'em." 

"The check is in the mail!" 

I'm working off an earlier draft of the script. 

...my family and I do need to gather every couple of years to watch BTILC amongst other things (Black Adder series two for instance). It brings us closer together. 

About people quoting Jack Burton? Well hell, he likes it. Then he gets all pissed off because he didn't get to say it at the time. But then he thinks about it for a bit, thinks that maybe it was like someone did him a favor, and he likes that. Then he gets tired of thinkin' about it, and goes back to the bottle of Cuervo. 

... are incredible. Great movie, went to see it with PJW and the rest of the Raven crew this afternoon. Pixar always blows you away with it's CGI wonders, but I always worry going in that due to their affiliation with Disney that the films will be too cutesy and preachy. Fortunatly, everything came off as an entertaining piece of work and never tried to drill any morals into your brain.

Only true issues with the film is that all the super characters are copy and paste rip offs and the villian's origin and motive are rather cliche. Both were things easily overlooked with all the great humor and the decent plotline.

I give the movie a Scampie TWO THUMBS UP!

Also, there was a great little short film at the beginning of the movie that was pure excellence... but that's where they did all their preachy moral stuff. Still can't beat naked sheep. 

is my favorite pixar film, though I like them all. I'm really looking forward to the Incredibles after the poor run of recent animated films (shark tale, shrek 2, ice age) 

didn't they break free from disney or something?

I saw flying daggers yesterday and I liked most of what I saw. Even if there are things in it I don't like it would be worth watching just for the incredibly beautifull opening scenes and the coolness of the male main character running around in the woods wearing his blue dress and funky cap. 

night of the hunter</> - I have to admit that the visuls were well done, some of the imagery was very striking and dreamy. But the rest of it was very hokey in every department, especially the score.

open range - typically slow but perfectly watchable kevin costner western that looks beautiful and has an absolute corker of a shootout at the end.

touch of evil - confusing, elaborate, hammy but in the end very stylish and well made noir film by Orson Welles. 

thanks for recommending Arrested Development.

I got the DVD set and it's fucking hilarious. Only about a third of the way through the season but it's the funniest show I've seen in ages.

OMFG !!!! 

That looks very awesome :D

I'll definately be seeking a subtitled copy of that out once it's availible! 

Looks very cool indeed - that a forthcoming film?? If so, someone get me to an arthouse cinema ASAP! 

GoFish, a division of DreamWorks, bought the US licensing properties and whatnot in October, so it should be out sometime in 2005. Maybe even Christmas . :D 

been on a hitchcock binge lately, thought I'd check out the rest of his works since I'd been through most of the big ones.

saboteur - crap script and crap acting, but the film gets up to average standard because of the good direction.

marnie - another psycholgical thriller attempt after Spellbound and like that one, it comes across heavily dated but probably not as much. In fact, it could have been a neat little film despite the weakish script if the leads were better actors.

frenzy - took too long to get going and none of the charcters were too appealing for me to really care for this one.

the man who knew too much - good effective thriller, but the ending was lame.

the trouble with harry - as non-hitchock as you can get. Its funny in that deadpan british kind of way but its a one ida film that doesnt really work.

foreign correspondent<i/> - good film, dated script but great set pieces that are executed very well.
