I love Vanilla Sky. I own the DVD. To each their own. But they do share similarities in that the characters are dealing with a sort of memory regression or erasing, thus my comparsion. 

Was pretty insulting in terms of artistic side of film making. In fact the ending felt incredibly out place.

Imagine if in a Fellini movie there was a scene at the end where a character (basically doing a commentary or voice over except inside the film) explains everything that just happened as to dumb it down to the worst possible level and destroy any kind of intepretation.

It seems like they had the movie done except for the last 10 minutes, where some test audience or studio exec said "What the hell is going on?! This movie will never see a release unless you put some kind of explanation in here!"

A very disappointing movie, especially coming from Crowe who has always done excellent work. 

AFAIK, it was a shot for shot remake of Open Your Eyes (spanish film) so the ending as well as the rest of the film was taken from that.

But yes, it did definitely suck. 

Pixar rocks. The chacters were three dimensional and the plot was entertaining and avoided cliches. Pixar's usual sense of humor is in there. Also includes a cartoon short before the feature sure to make you go wtf. Oh yeah, and the end credits are super stylin'.

I think mappers need watch this movie twice. Once for the enjoyment of the movie, and a second time paying attention to the set design. The world Pixar crafted comes alive and every single location feels like a real place. It's not just detail but variety while maintaining a consistency. Disney can buy a renderer as good as anyone else's, but I think designing the world is one place they'll never match Pixar. 

dec 26th is a long time away. 

personally I find the acting far inferior to the original, and maybe even a little insulting, in that they took an excellent spanish film and copied it, replacing the actors with hollywood stars, and upping the budget. You can almost see the studio execs planning it out; setting the movie in a more expensive location and closing off times square, getting much more expensive cars than in the original, etc, and thinking that'd make a better film.

Still, i'm surprised anyone could have such a negative opinion of this, it's not a great movie, but its certainly not bad. I'd definitely recommend 'Open Your Eyes' though. 

:P

In the Mood for Love - Wow, this was a really good film, with brilliant music and visuals. I now have to check out mr stuff by Wong Kar Wai.

Key Largo - I think someone suggested this before, maybe pjw, anyway I didnt care for it too much. The script was average and didnt really give Bogart or Bacall too much to work with like The Big Sleep did.

Harry Potter 3 - Having not read the books, I enjoyed the first film and didnt care much at all for the second. Saw this because of the change of director and it definitely brings a beter mood and visual style to the franchise. There are some really cool touches in this film. But, the narrative is an absolute mess and I didnt end really end up liking this all that much. 

Yeah, that was me. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but yeah, you're certainly correct that it isn't in the same league as The Big Sleep or Casablance or whatever. 

Fucking sucks my fucking thick member. Good day. 

not bad, reasonably funny film that's let down by a crap ending. Also, the main lead's performance (he's on a show called Scrubs) is medicore, could have been a really good film with a better actor.

Natalie Portman on the other hand shows off a bit of the talent she showed in her pre Star Wars days. 

I'm a big Wong Kar Wai fan, love tha atmosphere he gets in his movies, and I really like the actors he works with (Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung and co.) In the Mood for Love is most certainly his best film...
I'd recommend seeing Chungking Express if you liked it, and if you also liked that one, you'll probably enjoy his others.

I was a bit dissapointed by his newest film, 2046, it kinda felt like he was just trying to do more of ITMFL. It has some very good scenes tho, and great acting. 

thanks, I'll try those out first. The atmosphere was what impressed me too, the combination of visuals and music was almost perfect.

I was reading up on some of his stuff and it seemed that all his films before ITMFL were of a different style? Is that true? Also, have you seen Fallen Angels, what's that like?

I just put the following on order :

2046
chungking express
house of flying daggers
oldboy 

Hmm, all of his films are actually quite similar where film making is concerned, the visual style itself changes though.
Fallen Angels is pretty good, guess its like some artsy HK action film...

By the way, if you want more visualy stunning asian cinema, I'd recommend you check out stuff from the vietnamese director Anh Hung Tran (movies like Cyclo, or his most popular, The Scent of Green Papaya) or chinese mainland director Hsiao-hsien Hou (I watched Goodbye South, Goodbye recently and quite liked it.)
But be warned that I enjoy films even if the plot is rather uninteresting, as long as the visuals are good. =)

Oh and Oldboy is awesome, be prepared to be slightly disgusted tho. =) 

...I enjoy films even if the plot is rather uninteresting, as long as the visuals are good. =)

Porn? 

Sorry to disapoint you RPG, that isn't what I meant by good visuals. =) 

are you asexual? 

I'll see what I can get my hands on. 

come back to us :( 

But I thought I'd post them anyway.

One character is a technician called "Pinky" who has a cybernetic wheelchair thanks to a bad teleporting accident. Pinky later mutates into something remotely resembling a creature from Doom 3.

Well at least they know how to make a good comedy. 

Just watched it, thanks to a recommendation seen in this thread :) WOW, it was *DAMN GOOD*. A first movie in quite a while that has managed to bring a tear to my eye. I am a fan of the genre, but this once really excels in many areas. The fights/jumps/etc aren't as over the top as in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Nice enviroments and camerawork and boy does Hollywood have a thing or two to learn from the Chinese about shooting passionate kisses.
