Stephen Chow has done it again. An epic fantasy martial arts movie with a few laughs and twists, but most of all, excellent special effects and memorable characters.

Re: Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

The Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan has always struck me as one of cinema's poets. With this movie, however, he looks like one of cinema's novelists, one of its thriller-writers, or even one of its daytime-soap storyliners. In his previous works, Distant (2002) and Climates (2006), the emphasis was on mood and moment, with expansive and contemplative scenes, melancholy drifting sequences and beautiful renditions of landscape. Those were, moreover, personal films, using friends and family and hometown locations: he and his wife Ebru Ceylan (also the co-writer on this movie) fascinatingly themselves took the male and female leads in Climates, playing a couple whose relationship is painfully disintegrating.

This is Norwegian revenge thriller may move and steady, meandering pace, but it has such a sharp sense of pitch-black.Initially, the film is quite powerfully dramatic. Stark, alternately wonderful and horrible images pass across the screen and best cinematography.,

Re: Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

Presented as more of a sequel to the short story by W.W. Jacobs rather than as a straight up re-telling, director Brett Simmons has hit a solid double with The Monkey’s Paw which features some good performances & ambiance but doesn’t seem to want to go for the extra base when it comes to scares.

Being a fan of Nuri Bilge Ceylan...."Once Upon a Time in Anatolia" & "Three Monkeys"


A simple story from Turkish Director Nuri Bilge Ceylan: a man tries to cope with his life in the dismal conditions of an Istanbul winter. He's successful, but unhappy. Beautifully shot. Simplistic in story. Great performances by the cast. Amazing cinematographer each and every frames he did very well.,

Re: Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

The film is based on a true story of a group of 71 undertrained and under armed, outgunned student-soldiers of South Korea during the Korean War, who were mostly killed on August 11, 1950, during the Battle of P’ohang-dong. For 11 hours, they defended P’ohang-dong girls’ middle school, a strategic point for safeguarding the Nakdong River, from an attack by overwhelming North Korean forces, the 766th Unit.


These 71 teenagers, most of whom had never shot a gun before, managed to hold out against the advancing North Korean army for 11 hours. Their heroic defense of the area was actually a turning point in the Korean War. 71: Into the Fire tells the story of these student-soldiers over the course of that fateful day.
