Movies! Movies! Movies! (Non-Japanese)

Speaking of slow movies, anyone else really really enjoy those old japanese movies? I think they are always superbly, unintentionally hilarious! :rofl:

We have a Japanese movie thread here: http://jdorama.com/viewtopic.1753.htm

And they're not all unintentionally funny. :shakehead:

Potential spammer, I'll bet. :grumble:

Wonder if I should just send the post to limbo....

EDIT: Done.

Stumbled across this on dvd:

Honestly, it's pretty standard fish-out-of-water stuff, Murphy is just o.k. However, the Japanese cast, especially Toshiyuki Nishida (is there anything this guy can't do? ) is great! :applaud:

I have this on my drive. I have yet to see to it. Nishida is awesome.

Saw The Wolfman today with my daughter.... it was really good.

And i'm watching Hide and Seek on TV now. Dakota Fanning was only 11 when it was made - she is seriously creepy. She's an amazing actress for her age.

I love August Rush,,,

ya it's true I just watched it last night :-P

+1

good plot mixed with great songs and music. I can't recall how many times I've watched this movie :victory:

So theres a Tekken Movie coming out..So that means its going to be really bad like the DragonBall Evolution Movie and the Mortal Kombat Movies and the Street Fighter Movies and the Dead or Alive Movie AND the really bad Resident Evil Movies... :bleh:

Watched Superman II and The Terminator today.

Superman II really looked dated, especially in the effects department... Star Wars is an older movie, but doesn't seem nearly as old...

The Terminator on the other hand, is still as good and suspenseful as the first time I saw it back in 1984. :victory:

I saw Shutter Island. That movie is pretty freaky.

Not much of a DeCaprio fan, though I do have The Aviator and Catch Me If You Can...

Just finished watching Sleepless in Seattle... :victory:

Not just a good chick movie, but a really good movie overall. :applaud:

Do you think it's freaky in a good or bad way? So far the reviews I've read have been quite polarized. I'm not familiar with the Scorsese oeuvre but I've recently become interested him because I'm taking a film noir class. I wonder if Shutter Island is exemplary of his works or if I should look to another film as an entry point.

Scorcese has a vast list of films to choose from... The place to start would be his early works: Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull...
