The next three days, amazing film easily one of the best i've seen the last couple of years.
What are the "significant related events?" I'm rusty on the affair.
Watched Red last night and found it very entertaining. I like John Malkovich and he played a great paranoid. It was interesting to see Helen Mirren in the role she played too. Highly recommended if you like those types of movies.
Uncle Boonmee who can recall his past lives - 5.5/10
What a huge letdown. I wanted to like this and my expectations were not that high. Found the movie fairly thought-provoking, but what ruined it is that most of it was way over my head. I didn't give it a low score for that! Even if that's the case, I should have still been able to enjoy it. I have all the patience in the world, but so many scenes felt pointless and dragged on too long. If you're buddhist or better yet a Buddhist monk, this will be just your thing! Hey, I know quite a bit about Buddhism, but I still missed out on a lot of this. It's really hard for me to watch a scene with a man dressed up in a monkey costume. Or there is that sex scene with a talking Catfish (not as bad as it sounds and it wasn't a real fish).
I guess the biggest plus is that it's nice to look at during some scenes and I like the mood of the entire movie. Probably one of those movies you'll love or hate.
Here's a trailer:
Try "Running on Karma". A HK flick with Andy Lau. A bunch of buddhist ideology from start to finish.
