I just saw Quantum of Solace.
Multiple car, boat, plane and foot chases, numerous fist/knife/axe/steel pipe fights, hot women and a decent plot of espionage and doubt. Definitely a fun movie.

Awesome movie, Steppenwolf!!
I loved the part that all those human-figures start singing and dressing the girl.
Anyway, I've just watched Norbit ... I can hardly eat my supper,after that.

I'm watching Transporter 2.
The action scenes are a lil' bit better than the first one.

Do take into account that the entire thing was hand drawn. The animations are outstanding. That alone it really is the best visual achievement in anime. These days there is so much CGI and computer use.
Also if you've read the Manga it helps. They don't go as deep into microphysics in the movie so you can't understand what is happening as well as if you read the books.

Being decently hand drawn doesn't make an anime good. I would rather spork my eyes out than ever see the original Vampire Hunter D movie again o.O
Really not interested in reading the manga, hasn't sparked my interest enough to go buy it when there's lots of other manga I woud rather get.

Frame by Frame though? Akira is more fluid than most disney films.
Suit yourself. I think you're missing out. Its very layered and engaging science fiction.

Kobayashi's "Kwaidan." Recommended it before. Definitely worth watching twice. It is a series of vignettes of Japanese ghost stories. The special effects are amazing considering the film was made back in the 1960's, before digital effects.

Saving Private Ryan
Shitty. I thought the D-Day sequence people seem to like was mediocre, which is why it's the best part of the film. All of the interesting parts of that scene, the shellshock sequence, the frantic camerawork, are all systematically pissed on by Spielberg's obligatory inclusion of "AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!"s and "Oh noooooooo!"s and extreme close-ups of bloody hands that are all so ridiculously melodramatic that they play more like a satire of war films. There's a part where intestines are bubbling out of some guy's stomach (well, they're meant to be intestines but the props really aren't that great considering the massive budget) and he's going "Mommy! Mommy!" Had it been in Tropic Thunder, unaltered, it wouldn't have seemed a bit out of place. My current English teacher who's also a Film Studies teacher said that this film is perfect; this leads me to believe that she was watching a different film with a Saving Private Ryan sticker on it.

The Great Gatsby.
Robert Redford was a pretty good Gatsby, but Mia Farrow was completely inadequate as Daisy. Yes, she's supposed to be shallow, but there was nothing endearing about her shallowness. You kinda wonder why he ever fell for her in the first place. Also it was too long. I fell asleep.

Dark Knight
Mr. Bale IS the new Batman . This movie is a must see for everyone who loves the myth and wonder if it's possible to actualize it to modern times , but I must warn you : This new Gotham has nothing to do with the classic one ... I miss the darkness and the mistery of the good old dark city . Too much bright lights ...
Needless to speak about Joker : This guy made the role of his life , he'll stay forever as "THE" Joker .
The brave one
Now , we have a character's portrait delicately well done . It's one of those movies which would atract a lot more attention when the main character were a guy . Nothing can go wrong with Jodie Foster playing the victim . Excelent plot . A lot of moral questions . Exciting until the end .

Good sombre show.

El Topo
Holy Mountain
Watched them both back to back today. The older I get the more sense these films make. They really are a mystic experience. Jodorowsky truly has his finger on the pulse of reality.

Them - a film by Richard Grandpierre. Quite worrying/terrifying in equal measures it was based on a true story.
The Missing - a film by Ron Howard. Excellent thriller set in New Mexico
