RT on DVD: Street Fighter, Transmorphers 2, and Uwe Boll's Tunnel Rats!
Tokyo! --
74%
Fans of Michel Gondry (The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Be Kind Rewind) should give this triptych anthology a view not only for the director's take on relationships in modern day Japan (in his short film Interior Design), but also for an introduction to his star, Japanese writer and actress Ayako Fujitani (whose father is action star Steven Seagal). French critic and filmmaker Leos Carax contributes the short Merde, about a sewer-dwelling monster who becomes a media sensation, while Joon-Ho Bong rounds out the film with his story Shaking Tokyo, about one of the city's "hikikomori," or shut-ins, who dares to leave his home for the first time in years, for love.

But, there has got to be someone in hollywood who wants to kick the **** out of him(Michael Bay?). P.S.- Can't wait for Kane and Lynch. Stay away Uwe Boll! (Reply to this) |

man in the water writes: on Jun 29 2009 10:19 PM Really doesn't look like a good week. No, I will not give the Razzie winning film a shot. However I can highy recommend Two Lovers to anyone. I caught it in theatres and very much enjoyed it. It is a realistic romance. Very good film. Highly recommended. Other than that nothing I have interest in (Reply to this) |

Jen Yamato writes: on Jun 30 2009 09:46 AM I know it's a bad week for good movies, but there's something about having: - new Uwe Boll - Street (4%) Fighter - Transmorphers 2 (did you see that CG robot?) - Fred Durst directing a movie - new Renny Harlin - and a 00% Hal Ashby movie. I find this week in DVD highly amusing. Then again, I'm sort of fascinated with bad movies. JEN OUT! (Reply to this) |

GST writes: on Jun 30 2009 09:52 AM I might see Street Fighter just for laughs... I love terrible cheesy movies, which makes me want to see Transmorphers as well (which I'm sure is still better than the material its ripping off. I mean, at least its funny, even if it is unintentional, which I actually don't think it is, but yeah...). However, Tokyo! and Two Lovers sound great, especially Tokyo! because I'm a total Japanophile (and no, that doesn't mean I just love anime and sushi, I pretty much am fascinated with everything from/about Japan besides those two things), I'm looking at you Jen. (Yamato is Japanese, right? I already feel creepy enough, but if I'm wrong... yikes). I really do love how RT bashes many of these films then shamelessly self promotes exclusive clips and such. (and no. I'm not being sarcastic, I really do like it!)Speaking of shameless self promotion, here's my [crappy and useless] twitter account! Go (Reply to this) |
