[BlueFire]

I want to see it.. :D

[Perfect Stu]

I'll prolly rent it when it comes out on DVD...

[The Germanator]

No, but I did see an unbelievable movie today called "Spirited Away" in english...it came out in Japan last year and transalated this year. Anyway, it's wonderful, I suggest ya'll see it if you can find it.

[jeepnut]

No, haven't seen it. Don't like those types of movies, gives me nightmares.

[gekko]

I want to. But haven't yet :(

[BlueFire]

I saw it. I thought it was pretty good. Liked it better than Manhunter (same movie, came out in 1980's), because it also had Hopkins in it. Not as gory as I would've liked it to be, but I still found it to be good.

Yeah! I saw the trailers for that and it looks for interesting. It's under the name Disney but they must just be the company helping to promote it here in the States. I'll have to go see it. If you'd like to see the cool trailer, click here (http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/spirited_away.html) .

Red Dragon is a f***ing disgrace. It's nowhere near as good as Manhunter, and it has a few variations in the story line.

Oh, and the sound track in Manhunter was bloody awsome, yet for some bloody reason, they've put it out of print. :mad:

Oh and Germy, since you're on the subject of good japanese films, have you seen a renowned japanese horror called 'The Ring'?

[Happydude]

i wanna see that movie along with The Tuxedo...my friend is in that movie:)


background though...so you probably won't even notice him:rolleyes:

[BlueFire]

Can anyone tell me what 'The Ring' is about? :confused:

Too bad The Tuxedo has Jackie Chan using wirework to enhance his moves. When I heard that, I vowed to never see the movie under any circumstances. Which lame brain decided to make a movie in which Jackie Chan doesn't actually do all the neat flips and things? True, he's getting old, but I'm sure it wasn't his decision to do that.

I heard that Jackie Chan actually sings in that movie. I think that alone is worth the price of admission...or maybe a rental.

Hmm, I've heard of it, but never seen it. I'll look into it though.

Edit: Oh, I just realized that they are making that new movie called "The Ring", but was there also a Japanese version called "Ringu"? Personally, I'd rather see the Japanese one, if it has subtitles that is.

[Dragon-Fly]

ya, i'd like to see RED Dragon, it looks interesting, I also heard it's really good. The tuxedo, isn't that great, and if you wanna laugh, look at the french title of The tuxedo.

LMao

I saw Red Dragon on Friday night, and I must say, it was one hell of a movie. I haven't seen Silence of the Lambs or Hannibal, so I guess I cannot really compare the movies.... And I have not seen Manhunter either, which I heard was better that Red Dragon. But I think that the acting was great in tthis movie, but there should have been some more blood and guts.

I havn't seen any of the movies from the series, but I've heard stuff aboot them, o'course, and to me if a movie like that can still be very entertaining and all without a bunch of gore, that's even better...

Like how if horror movies can still be scary, but don't use cheap pop-out scares...

And stuff... :unsure:

Come to think of it, I don't see how blood and gore would actually improve anything with any movie... except I guess one of those realistic war movies or something...

Not that I anything against gore... :sneaky:

Go rent First Strike if that's your thing. Jackie Chan sings in that movie, too. He does his own singing in a lot of his movies, and he knows it's funny to watch.

Then again, I'm the guy who thought the Yoda fight wasn't worth the price of admission all by itself (in my opinion, the rest of the movie barely compensated for my $7.50).

Nope, not that, I'm talking about the japanese one.

One HELL OF A MOVIE!

[Perfect Stu]

I don't see how this movie could possibly be better than the Silence of the Lambs...damn that was good

[BlueFire]

I saw the movie last night with my friend. I loved it. It's a great part of the Hannibal Lector series.

I felt pity for the blind girl though... Heh :p

[DarkMaster]

has anyone seen The Ring? just came out yesterday i believe

[Blade Runner]

woohoo! movie talk. ok, this is what i have to say....

I saw red dragon on the thurday before it came out, i was testing out my new cable modem:p

Red Dragon is a f***ing disgrace. It's nowhere near as good as Manhunter, and it has a few variations in the story line.

What are you talking about? Variations in story line? You are acting like red dragon was a remake of manhunter there. Its not. Anyways Red Dragon still follows the book a lot closer than manhunter does. I thought red dragon was great, much better than hannibal (don't blame ridley, it was the book, it was no good to start with!). It was a lot more like silence. It reminded me of kiss the girls too. Brett ratner did a great job considering thats his first serious movie with those calibur of actors (his next movie is superman btw). THe acting was great, I especially liked ralph fiennes. The movie kind of made you feel sorry for him, like all good movies of that genre do or should. It was not a disgrace.

I saw the ring yesterday. I liked it. I didn't really like it cause of the story, but more because of the...um...cinematography i guess you would call it. The camera angles and the colors were beautiful.

Btw, the ring is about this vhs tape that if ppl watch its rumored that they die in 7 days so this girl tries to find out if its true. Its based on a japanese movie that came out in 98 that was based on a book series....

Um...ridley scott has got a movie coming up with russell crowe about tripoli. look forward to that. tom hanks is doing a movie with the coens soon, that will be sweet. and of course look for spielbergs catch me if you can with tom hanks this dec....

[fingersman]

I heard the ring got good reviews...I think I'll go watch it, when ever it gets down here.

[DarkMaster]

i went to see Red Dragon last night, and I must say it was a very good movie. I like the fact that you know who the killer is all throughout the movie compared to those cheap slasher flicks where you find out who the killer is at the end. Anthony Hopkins did a spectacular job, the guy who played the killer (i belive his last name is Fienes) was also very good. the guy who played Will was great too, i cant help but think i've seen him before (was he in Silence of the Lambs?).

and for those of you who are intertested in The Ring, i've found a little movie for you. Its the whole freaky VHS that the people in the movie watch. Can you watch it and live?
