I'm not going to be able to watch it, but at 8 ET tonight, the restored Metropolis will be on TCM. You better catch it.

I thought he was making a serious holocaust movie with graphic violence and tortured jews?

Nice to see him playing Hitler, though.

Film concurrently with Bloodrayne 3, with mostly the same cast and story.

[Take It Sleazy]

They aren't even changing some of the actors' costumes between movies. It's bananas.

Best part of the film was the revelation where every character was violently psychotic. The male love interest at one point got so angry he crushed a glass in his hand.

Saw Paperhouse, and it's definitely one of the better children's fantasy films I've seen. The scene of the girl taking a photo of her father, legitimately startled me.

[Dracko]

Funny you mention that, I was just reading this blog entry.

[Winona Ghost Ryder]

I haven't seen the film, but it seems like a hoax.

I just watched The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi, and I'm interested in watching more Beat Takeshi and/or Takashi Miike films. What are some of their must sees?

Thanks! The only Miike I've seen before was Happiness of the Katakuris, and I watched that several years ago.

I thought the Netflix description of Graveyard of Honor sounded really cool, and I thought about watching it on Instant Watch tonight, but Kar Wai Wong's Fallen Angels has been in my Instant Watch que longer and it's a bit shorter (I don't want to stay up too late tonight), so I started on it instead. Several of the Miike films you mentioned are on Instant Watch, but I don't think any of Beat's films are on there. It's a shame, since Zatoichi was such a cool movie.

Hana-bi, Violent Cop and Boiling Point are not available from Netflix at this time. This is nonsense garbage.

I guess I've been really getting into crime dramas recently. I had Driver come in from Netflix, not really knowing why. (I have a pretty large queue). I popped it in and immediately knew it was a Walter Hill movie. His style was slathered all over it and I loved every minute. Bruce Dern was psycho, Ryan O'neal was the another fine example of the manly ideal of stoicism that can be found in all the Walter Hill movies I've seen so far, and Isabelle Adjani was gorgeous. There's something about the cars in his movies too. Their engines make the most beautiful noises that you don't hear nowadays. It also didn't hurt that it had some of the coolest car chases I've ever seen. I think Hill is becoming my favorite director.

RE: Takashi Miike movies not mentioned yet

Visitor Q - Absolutely worth watching, it's among my favorites with Bird People in China and the Dead or Alive Trilogy

Zebraman - acts as a companion piece to Ichi the Killer as a criticism of superhero fiction

Sukiyaki Western Django - It's a pretty excellent homage to the western genre and its roots.

i thought Zebraman got kind of horribly boring towards the end and felt that Big Man Japan did a much better job with the whole thing.

on the other hand, i also enjoyed Sukiyaki, which is not really too loved.

that said, Gozu and Ichi are my absolute favorites.

[Tulpa]

Why don't people love Sukiyaki?

I haven't seen Big Man Japan, I'll check it out.

I don't love Sukiyaki, but I love the inversion of the bad guy w/ revolver/good guy with sword convention, at the climax.

I didn't realize Boredoms made the music for Ichi the Killer! I should watch it again, it was a pretty great thing.

[Tulpa]

Actually not the Boredoms, did not have EyE on vocals.

In one second I could tell that the movie was a parody because I could tell that trailer narrator guy was a comedy-type trailer narrator guy tongue-in-cheekily faking a serious-type narrator guy. One word out of his mouth.

Is that really a venom sucking joke? City Slickers, that's the inspiration for this movie?

Am now hoping Portman wins an Academy Award for Black Swan so we can at last have someone who has recently done so do press for a film in which they appear in a gratuitous metal thong.

There's nothing gratuitous about that thong.

Shrug, deep down you love Natalie Portman.

INSERT LEON JOKE HERE

[Shiren the Launderer]

watched Catfish. I enjoyed it. Watching people type away on computers in movies is usually pretty dull, so it's impressive that the filmmakers managed to make a compelling movie that relies on shots of people using their computers.

her only good film
