hey,

Cherie 0/5
What a fucking piece of fucking shit. But you can see Cherie Chung's tit. Patrick Tam has made better movies.

Mark....this was underrated in your book?

She’s in the terrible Korean Bruckheimer equivalent Shiri.

You what?

Shiri is barely anything at all like any of Bruckheimer's produced films. Bruckheimer does soppy sentimentality (i.e - Pearl Habour), it's definitely deeper and better acted in Shiri than anything Bruckheimer is capable of producing. The action is way more intense too.

Shiri is one of the best action films ever made. I'd love it to be released on HD!

Indeed, Shiri was very good.

hey,

like half a second before she blows out a candle to make the room go dark. You also see Tony Leung's ass and Chor Yuen's man tits. Cinema.

Hmmm, which Tony? *goes to check on imdb*

You see a lot of Tony L in Lust, Caution. Excellent film btw.

I'd rather see that Tony Leung's backsides.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 03 Feb 2008, 03:00

Check out Lust, Caution then. For someone who is 45 his physique is very impressive.

Sweeney Todd - 8 out of 10

Flipping fantastic. Depp and Burton are so talented. Bonham Carter is decent too. Yes Depp's singing is better but so what. The little boy was good too.

Personally I would've rated it 15. Only two scenes have what I'd say are disturbing violence. The blood (of which there is oodles) becomes almost laughable, you can't take it seriously. Some people were actually laughing.

The Kingdom 3/5

ok political actioner set in saudi arabia. a bit talky till it gets to the big action set piece.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 04 Feb 2008, 18:49

I hear the action is tops, the politics ham fisted. Hollywood should avoid politics in Action movies!

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 04 Feb 2008, 19:17

tbh it's not really an action film more a procedural with some kick ass climactic action. looked nice in HD.I got the combo reasonable over at dvdforumss.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 04 Feb 2008, 19:37

So it's more a drama?

4 fbi agents and their saudi guide investigate the bombing of american interests in Saudi.and that's what 75% of the film is about, investigating .

"The Kingdom" is just another Hollywood that has "from-Americans-for-Americans" written all over it. Their superficial sympathy with Arab people is disgusting. It's as if they need to explain to the American audience, that Arabs are human beings as well. So while the intention might be a good one, it is still disgusting that such ethics are taught by an action film.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 04 Feb 2008, 20:39

Have you seen it LD?

I suspect you're right.

i just watched the movie for what it was, didn't give a shit about the politics behind it tbh.

Personally I find it hard to do that when it's such an integral part of the film. Instead of a small part of it.

Politics and action should rarely mix.

most political thrillers have action in them

Of course I've seen it. I would never leave such a statement about a film I haven't even seen.
