Don't know any of them but they sound a bit girly.
DVDs tend to be the only thing in Japan that are as expensive as the rest of the world thinks japan is. Well home grown jap films anyway, western films are cheap as chips for some reason.

Sounds like ima ai ni yukimasu (I think it's called to be with you now?) and crying out love in the centre of the world would be up your street. I haven't seen either though.

Have you seen thre korean 'my sassy girl' ? Bit long and a bit mushy, but you might like it.

Not really into girly girly or mushy films but two of those listed are part comedy so thought I'd give them a try.

Welcome to Dongmakgol I've been wanting to get for ages. Looks like fun even if it does all sound a bit twee
 
The Squid and the Whale. I liked it a lot. It was by the guy who co-wrote The Life Aquatic (not Wes Anderson, Noah) but was less ridiculous. Still funny though, but in more of a dark way. Anyways, I definitely recommend it.
 
Inside man. A Spike Lee joint with Denzel Washington. Jodie Foster's in it too. Rather good actually for a Friday night flick just before bed.
 
Yesterday we watched The Beat That My Heart Skipped at the cinema. Worth seeing and pretty good in my opinion. A bit of a silly story - perhaps even a glorified Billy Elliot :p but entertaining enough for a Saturday afternoon at the pictures.

Hostel - not as extreme as i thought it would be, though i thought the Takashi Miike cameo was a nice touch :cool:

I love a miike cameo, check out neighbour No 13 some some miike slaughter.

I'm still looking forward to hostel
 
It took me a while to get it straight in my head that Jan wasn't lovely Alex from Goodbye Lenin . . .

The ending gave me goosebumps.

Yep! I hear that. I had to watch it two more times after that and almost cried when my bf reclaimed the DVD. I said I wanted to take it to bed with me. Jan was super cool and super sexy! I *hearted* him. I actually can't think of a film that I've seen in the last few years that I liked as much as that one.
:cool:

I really liked Goodbye Lenin as you might guess.

The Straight Story was a good 'un too.

Haven't seen either of those.
Might just do so though, as you've obviously got taste and David Lynch is one of my favourite directors.

I really want to see it but the UK DVD is such a piece of shit that I have never got round to buying it. I think the origonal german DVD has english subs but I have never got round to checking it out.

Last night I watched Lost in Traslation again.
Fucking rubbish. Bill Murry is great but that stupid bitch scarlet and that twat of a director copla fucked it all up. I would rather see bill drinking in a hotel bar for three hours. Peice of shit on a stick but is shot where I used to hang out so is quite fun to watch from that point of view and with a couple of wiskeys it passes by a lot quicker.
 
had a hk/chinese cinema weekend.

sha Po lang (spl) donnie yen vs sammo hung - perhaps the best fight sequence in hk cinema for the last 10 years. story was a tad sentimental though....

fearless - jet li flick. quite disappointing and sad finale for the wushu master.

seven swords - excellent fight scenes but too many back flashes killed the pace.
 
Watched Lord of War yesterday with my mate. Bugger me, that was good. Watched half of Night Watch, but it was rubbish and we decided to watch Jason of the Argonauts on telly instead. And Solaris.

What a lazy Sunday that was, eh?

Let me know if it's any good otherwise I'll have to delete it from my Amazon shopping basket ;)

I haven't watched it yet but because there was no trailer I watched the music vid cut from the film.

Looks a bit shit.
 
What bit/bits did you love, maybe because it is soooo bad it is lovable, just the whole thing from start to finish and what a crap ending, and as for plot where or what was it, maybe I am missing something, but it was truly awful.

I liked it all, and I love the ending. I liked it better the second time I watched it. What about when the mice are set free and one holds the door open and ushers the other though.

What was that like? Thought 'Once Were...' was amazing.

Not as violent as the first one luckily, well not towards women anyway. You see a change in Jake in the end, but I think they've left it a bit open which means they could even do a 3rd film. The characters aren't as good as the first film either, but it's still worth a watch
 
The Woodcutter. Not a bad film. Pretty brave considering the subject matter (peadophilia) and Bacon is good in it. Certainly not the cheeriest movie for a Sunday afternoon.
