Movies! Movies! Movies! (Non-Japanese)

finished watching Rush Hour 3.. it was a decent movie.. nice action.. not a good plot though but Jackie Chan still kickin ass.. and Tucker still have MORE TALKS.. lol.. but i was dissapointed at Hiroyuki Sanada.. his role is not that convincing.. well i dont blame him.. it's all the directors fault.. damn you Bret Ratner!! eventhough his role is not that good. the way he delivers it was great!.. :applaud:

next stop.. The Bourne Ultimatum.. ive seen the trailer and i was like.. :shocked: :shocked:

WOW!!!.. cant wait.. ive just bought my advance ticket :victory:

I'm so seeing Bourne ultimatum this week (ends the trilogy).

As for the movie that everyone in the internet community from ARG sites to just movie forums, 1-18-08.(yes thats the name thus far, it has no name, just a release date)

Is already in the books for being the most searched and talked about teaser ever. Is a big viral video with 100's of videos and theories being released every week, not to mention sites. Till this day all we know is the thing is a living creature. The site keeps updating every week and adds 1 photo which always have hidden clues.

Just google up 1-18-08 and welcome to the crazy phenomenon it has become.

Not surprised, really... It's a crapass role for him, I think.

If you want to see him in a good, no, great role, check out Twilight Samurai (Tasogare Seibei)... An excellent movie. :thumbsup:

The movie's got a really good story... And it's well-acted, which is why it won a bunch of Japanese Academy Awards...

I think iot was even nominated for a U.S. Academy Award, but it didn't win.

Rush Hour 3 beats Bourne to box office title

Hapless martial arts hero Jackie Chan knocked amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne out of the top spot at the box office this weekend.

"Rush Hour 3," the buddy film starring Chan and Chris Tucker that comes six years after the duo's last romp, grossed $50.2 million in its first weekend at U.S. and Canadian theaters.

"The Bourne Ultimatum," the third installment of the espionage action series starring Matt Damon as a one-time CIA hit man searching for his past, took in $33.7 million in its second weekend playing in North American theaters, a 51 percent drop, according to studio estimates on Sunday.

Animated feature "The Simpsons Movie" dropped 56 percent in its third weekend to $11.1 million, but pot-bellied anti-hero Homer Simpson still came out on top of two newcomers.

In their first weekends, "Stardust," a fantasy film starring Claire Danes, grossed $9.0 million at number four on the charts, and "Daddy Day Camp" took in $3.6 million and debuted at number 10.

The long delay since the last "Rush Hour," was seen as a challenge for Tucker and Chan. "Rush Hour 2" set a record August opening of $67.4 million in 2001, which held until last week, when "The Bourne Ultimatum" took in $69.3 million.

"Rush Hour 3" was released by New Line Cinema, a unit of Time Warner Inc. "The Bourne Ultimatum" was released by Universal Pictures, a unit of General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal Inc.

"The Simpsons Movie" was released by 20th Century Fox, a unit of News Corp., "Daddy Day Camp" was released by TriStar Pictures, a unit of Sony Corp., while "Stardust" was released by Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom Inc.

The title pretty much says it all... :bleh:

No thanks.

I'd get more enjoyment burning my $10 with a lighter.

Jason Statham.

I just saw an incredibly moving documentary about the life of a homeless Japanese-American artist who survived internment during WWII.

If they show this documentary on your local PBS station I recommend you watching it.

The documentary is also screening in theaters on a limited basis.
