Pfiddle. Wedding Crashers had me laughing on and off during the film. It's what I paid for and its what I got. I'd give it a **** star rating.

I bet you didn't do that much laughing when they left the wedding to go to that waterfront residence.

I'd give it two and a half stars if I knew how.

There were times when he carried the film on his own.

Ive just watched 'House of the flying daggers'

Verdict: Absolutely Fantastic!! As good as 'Crouching tiger hidden dragon' with fight scenes to match 'Hero'. With all the big budget crxp that has appered this year, it was truly relieving to watch such and beautifully made piece of cinema. The visuals are mouth dropping and storyline when compered to the two above mentioned eastern films was very easy to follow.

The bamboo scene was awe inspiring!!

WINNER

I read in Empire that they are going to make a western version. I guess some producer gets a kick out of sheer human misery and the other thing.

they keep fecking up the re-makes though - check out the bobbins horror remakes for example

what we gonna have, a michael bay directed thriller starring ben affleck, john travolta and jessica simpson

dunno about anyone else but for a good asian film i can cope with the subtitles and it takes nowt off some great films

Soldier_Of_The_White_Army · Post by **Soldier_Of_The_White_Army** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 9:38 am

Id rather have subtitles then dubbing thats for sure.

Spot on, so much better, you get the emotion even if you don't understand.

Anyone seen "Enter The Fist"? I havent seen all of it, but its really funny the way it makes fun of Japenese fighting films. Even has really bad dubbing! On purpose!

It's the US version of the Wicker Man that worries me, starring Nicolas Cage.

ICHI THE KILLER!

picked up a film in Thailand called Casshern. Its a Jap anime-live action-Manga type thing with mucho-wierdness

Watching the 'Army Of Darkness' on Sky movies.

Terrible special effects

Outragous acting

village idiot written script

dangerously bad directing

ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE!!!

I dont care what anyone says. This film rocks, the reason? Bruce Campbell. Ive not laughed this hard in a long time, he alone carried the whole film as he did the first two. Of course this is nothing near the first two, concentrating on lowering its rating and condeming itself to the straight to DVD collection. Yet I cant help but love the character 'Ash'. He has the antics of Jim Carrey and takes more punishment then Arny, Sly,Gibson and Vin Diesol combined. Personaly I dont care how bad it is, its still B movie brilliance.
