Ying xiong (2002)
Lacked Passion
Overall this was a good movie and I am glad to have seen it. But it just seemed to miss something. Namely passion. The 'fight' scenes were nicely choreographed and very beautiful but also very long and drawn out. They lacked a sense of urgency, I never felt that the 'hero' was in danger nor did I care.
I found myself slowly falling asleep during the fight scenes, but then waking up during the conversations. Usually it is the opposite for me! And it was subtitled! The story itself was fine, but nothing out of the ordinary.
6 of 10.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
I Can't Believe I Watched the Whole Thing
Gag!
This movie came out when I was 10 years old - my folks never took me to see it, and I'd always wondered why. Now I know. This is a self indulging movie, filled with obsessive characters, and cheap dialogue. It is the chick flick of sci-fi movies.
Very sappy.
Heist (2001)
I just don't get Mamet
I had a hard time sitting through this one. David Mamet gets nods for his use of rhythmic dialogue. The dialogue in Heist is what turned me off. I felt the actors were limited to simply delivering lines: Deliver a line, wait for a line. And so on....
I was not drawn in. The characters were meaningless. The story held nothing new.
The Book of Pooh (2001)
This is Pooh?
The only thing about the Book of Pooh that resemble Milne's series is the looks of the characters. None of the personalities are transferred over to the puppets. Instead of the classic relationships such as Rabbit vs. Tigger we are given sappy, cute, supportive clones. All of this translates to an unwatchable perversion of the classic series. No, this is not Pooh.
