Cool. Give us a review when you get chance, Pemu...
Reviews have been mixed here in the States...
Will do. I didn't watch the movie that night, instead I went to watch a bunch of the 70's movies from Bud Spencer and Terence Hill Cutie Honey (a silly sailor moon like) and Wonderful Life I shall watch. I'm taking a little break from jdrama (watched all the completed dramas I have, hehe).

i'm pretty sure you'll like cutie honey, especially sato erico in the outfit. otherthan that, it's fairly like SM live. _________________
Finished Wonderful Life in the morning, took me 4 installments to finish, a 4x 30 min installment, 3 days, hehe. The movie was either boring or I just happened to watch it at late nights Nonetheless, a very slow paced movie, not exactly my taste.

I'll appreciate the more even higher if nudity exists in the scenes
Hehe, in my wildest dreams
I hear the movie is pretty entertainin but as the end looms, the whole thing goes bizarre, correct?

I can't dance...
Don't ask me.
But I can watch movies.
A while ago I mentioned that I had "Doppelganger" on order from netflix.
Well, it finally arrived... and I have to admit... I don't have much good to say about it.
Okay, Koji Yakusho is in it. And he's just flat out a movie star.
Right. So much for the good I have to say about this movie.
I was fairly interested in it half way through because I couldn't figure out where it was going, or what the writer/director was trying to say. What story he was trying to tell.
By the end I still couldn't figure it out, and I was annoyed with the ending, so I turned to the DVD commentary... listened to the interview with director Kiuoshi Kurosawa... and I came away saying, "you gotta be kidding."
This thing is set up like a horror movie. I looks like a horror movie, is paced like a horror movie... he thought it looked too much like a horror movie... and somewhere into the first few weeks of shooting... he decided he wanted to make it into a feel good comedy about the uplifting of the human spirit. (I got those words from the director.)
Kind of tough to do when you as a director don't have a sense of humor, don't have the first clue how to make a comedy... and oh yeah, there were all those murders. All those scenes where characters beat each other to death with either hammers or wrenches. Yeah, funny stuff.
Stupid movie. Poorly conceived. Moronic ending. And enough holes in the story to drive a fleet of trucks through.
I'm being too subtle again.
Doppelganger is a very bad movie. _________________

Oh, I also watched the rerelease of Toshiro Mifune's "Incident at Blood Pass"
I figured it was a can't miss. Mifune was playing Yojimbo again, and Katsu Shintaro was in it (though not playing Zatoichi).
Good movie, ruined by a lousy ending.
The movie had all this great stuff going for it. It was well fimed, it had terrific actors, playing interesting characters. And there seemed to be a complex story working.
And then, it was almost like the writer quit before handing in the ending, or they ran out of time, or money... because the ending was... abrupt, to say the least. And more than a little unsatisfying.[/i] _________________

otherthan that, it's fairly like SM live.
