I hate to admit it, but Nic Cage was awesome in this, well everybody was. Hats off to writer Charlie Kaufman for laying his cards on the table for the world to see.

not seen this in years but remember it fondly - something about an oscillation overthruster! and peter weller is one of those great actors that is way underappreciated by most people.

Well I was looking for Evening Harder (part 2) on here as I just watched that, but as ever flixster doesnt have it yet..
I could watch Kevin Smith for hours - and indeed if you get these 2 two part dvd sets you can! Each runs for over 4 hours - and a fuckin hi-larious.
Part1 highlight being the Superman story - and Part2 has ninjas rescuing Jesus from the cross!

Apocalypto (2006,  R)
Apocalypto 1.0 Star
From the first minutes of animal killings, rape, cruel torture, beheadings, anxiety and sickening gory violence - I watched it praying for it to end.

I would have turned it off if not for a friend's high praise.

I can't stomach any kind of cruelty to animals, even if they're clearly visual effects, so I particularly despised the bashing to death of the Jaguar.

I laughed out loud at the arrival of the Spaniards at the end too, and couldn't help but be reminded of 'Predator' through several key scenes.

Azumi 4.0 Stars
Kicked arse big time, with beautiful camera work, amazing choreographed action scenes, moving characterisation and a drop dead gorgeous leading lady.

I know that the film is based on a comic, but I havent heard if its any good - does anyone know?

The final 40 minutes of the film - after Azumi's lesbian dalliance - are simply superb.

The androgynous bad guy is impressive too.

Nabbeun namja (Bad Guy) 4.0 Stars
A tough gangland leader experiences love at first sight when he encounters a young college student in a crowd. With no concern for public conduct, or the desires of the girl, he forces himself upon her and kisses her in front of her boyfriend. Totally unapologetic, the man is beaten by police and left disgraced.

Desperate to see her again, the man decides to return to the same place. Soon, the student re-appears and she and her boyfriend go on a window shopping trip. However, her desperate lack of money leads her to commit an unfortunate crime, for which her victim demands an uncompromising, pre-planned punishment: She must work as a prostitute to pay the money back. And it is the man who fell in love with her in the crowd that day that will be responsible for taking care of her

Dark, daring and brutal, this twisted tale from the director of The Isle challenges romantic ideals and breaks with conventional notions of love to deliver one of the most powerful and controversial films of recent years.
