Dumbed down inferior ripoff of Apocalypto
I don't know if this movie's makers expressed it IS a remake of Mel Gibson's Apocalypto (2006) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472043/ or not. Since I don't see any mentions of it in here at IMDb ; I'll assume it's a rip-off, a bad one at that. Let me know if this is a legit remake. I would have hesitated to say that so firmly if the Jaguar scene is not replaced with real crappy CG tiger scene. Except Mayan sacrifices scenes at the beginning and the protagonist's faith at the end, it is basically same movie, except this one is far more inferior. Save yourself some time and watch Apocalypto even if you have already seen it. You will thank me for it.
Ima, ai ni yukimasu (2004)
tries too much too be sentimental....
While I gave 'Nobody Knows' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408664/ a perfect 10, I give this 6 because it tries too much too be sentimental and manipulate audience. Nobody Know was one of the saddest movies while the movie dose not too much tries to manipulate situations and characters. It just tells the story flat-out. And what a sad story!!! This flick just tries too much. And it show. Seeing thru director's intention while watching a movie is not a good thing. Maybe young girls may fall it, thanks heaven, not me! Like all other Japanese films, it's long movie, sometime painfully. Is there a law in Japan that Japanese films have to be long???

Remind me of 8mm and Eyes Wide Shut
Remind me of Nicholas Cage's 8mm about smurf films and Stanley Kubrik's wild and last Eyes Wide Shut(mind my spelling if some are wrong). Other than that, too complicated and obsessed for sex, nude, violence, to comprehend what it's trying to say, like many other Japanese flicks. Maybe it's not about understanding what the movie is trying to say, but just movie as it is. Well, at least the actress is pretty, seems a little old for all that bold numerous nude shots. I wonder how much she, the character, suffered 'and' enjoyed the whole ordeal. She DID enjoyed it, I think!!! I probably will not watch it again nor buy a DVD. But, it was good strange flick. I enjoy change of scenery time to time. Ciao^^
Get Shorty (1995)
John Travolta is so cool & the director is so genious in this film...I'd rank this as one of the best cool movie in my LIFE!!!
John Travolta's acting as a cool guy is so cool, I started to like John after this film. I actually HATED him seeing disastrous flicks like 'Three guys and a baby' 'Look who's talking'
The director is so genius in this film. This is the best work for director Barry Sonnenfeld so far. I didn't much care for 'MIB' and stuff.
I'd rank this as one of the best cool movie in my LIFE!!!
I hear a sequel is coming out!!!! I hope two things. One, the sequel is as good as the original. Two, a better DVD of Get Shorty.
