alright, i gotta give 2046 anywhere between 8.5-9.5. Can't decide the exact rating. It's a story of love, rejection and obsession accompanied by great cinematography and acting. Not for mainstream joe as it will be kind of boring for them.

I love the original soundtrack too.

It needs patience and would be enjoyed by only those who are deeply into Asian cinema. Others wouldn't. By the way, the movie is related to the previous movie In the Mood for Love and the script would make more sense if one has watched it first. The best part for me was the OST.

@Faun Did you change your avatar temporarily to Android from this movie before everyone demanded the original one back?

It's a little hard to digest movie. I kept wondering why things couldn't go the merry way. Delayed reaction from android, not liking the protagonist, finally, loving someone else already. It tells a story in metaphors and then some incidents in real life. Nothing extraordinary over the top but the execution, cinematography, acting and soundtrack made it one of the finest movie like an old wine which you always dreamed of.

Yeah, avatar was Faye Wong (who sand Final Fantasy song 'eyes on me'). I know there is a related previous movie.

I actually didn't like the way movie ended but then there is no substitute in love and longing for the past.

What you didn't understand ? Which version you watched ? Korean or the remake ?

It's a simple movie if you watch it through the end.

Falling overnight - This was on the lines of Before Sunrise and London Paris Newyork, but with a bit more realistic appeal and more touching. Actress was cute. I am glad I watched this. Nobody seem to bother about it on imdb or anywhere else.

The Untouchables (1987) - great heart touching movie with a good story ( though there's no twist in this ) .. this deserves a 9/10.

Lost in speed
Watched Expendables 2, yesterday. To me, Its full of Booms & Blasts with a little story of vengeance.
I would rate as 8/10

Especially liked the part,
- where 'Chuck Norris' walks among the debris fall (with the music of TG,TB&TU) and introduce himself as "Lone Wolf" + "King Cobra" part :lol:
- where 'Arnold's return while drilling the mine with 'I am back' + Willis's sarcastic humor of "This time i will be back".
- Jean's astounding kick while killing Liam.
- Lundgren's calculations of blowing the 'Phosphate mine', + the humor followed by.

But missed the some-what abrupt ending of 'Jet Li'.
Wonder if TE3 features Rajini, Big B in a cameo role :lol:
