just watched 'gohatto'.. a bunch of stars staring on this movie but the storyline is not too strong enough to make me enjoyed watching this movie.. second, this movie touch some issues with gays... eww

manners 07-26-2008 03:32 PM

A good Japanese movie is "Hanabi"

It is a little sad, though but is very well done.

Takeshi Kitano is in it.

I haven't seen it but why did it suck?

forgotenmemory 07-27-2008 03:56 PM

I forgot the name of the birdlike creatures that try to capture Eragon in the begining of the book, but in the movie, they jsut look like weird creatures made out of worms or something. And they die halfway in the movie! >:o They haven't even died in the book. And the plot was moving along too fast, which is probably why they might not make a sequal movie, that and that it didn't get alot of boxoffice succes.

And i don't know anything else, it jsut didn't seem to be nearly as good as the book.

EDIT: Oh, and you know the werecat? It wasn't even indroduced >_> And the city or town where the werecat lived in didn't even look like it was in the book. Uhhh, and they didn't have that catheral fight scene from the book.

Everyone I know told me how bad they thought it was. Either that or it was too much like a kiddie movie.
I guess I should watch it just to see how bad it really is. I mean now that it isn't even hyped up for me, if I come out thinking it's bad, it will really have to suck.

My best movie would be "Labyrinth" with David Bowie.. And I know it's weird, but I like movies with cult status ... LOL...

And my worst movie would be Matrix Reloaded + Matrix Revolutions.. They should just have stopped with the first one, 'cause that's a great movie..

~Don't hate me, I know I have a weird movie taste...

Can't hate you for your opinion but.. the 2nd and 3rd Matrix was just the story seen from a "non matrix residents" perspective. They both have some amazingness in there.. especially stuff like the Freeway scene.

Borat and Dumb & Dumber are amazing xDDD

ivi0nk3y 07-28-2008 01:12 PM

I do think Borat is stupid and gets some cheap laughs.. mainly from the fact that people like to laugh at people who get pissed off.

Dumb & Dumber though is classic!

"I'm from Austria.."

"Austria?! Haha.. G'day m8! LEts put anutha Shrimp ON tha BaRbie"

It is bad, but still, you should still watch it if you like the book :D
