Brazilian movie. a guy dyes his hair, gets made fun of and his life changes for the better/worse

The Return of Chen Zhen

 

Donnie yen is my favorite modern kung fu star. This is heavy on story, the action is awesome, could have been more of it but the I wasn't bored. Just don't go into this thinking non stop fighting.

Shit. Im in a mood for a good horror...

 

An actual horror tho. :lol:

 

my personal favorite

scared the hell outta me. they're coming out with a remake, apparently, done entirely with

CGI effects. this original had no CGI at all, and its a horror classic.

 

p.s. obviously, that poster is an artists rendition. these others were on the same site:

^^one of the better spike lee films, IMO,

if nothing else because he puts his racial

bias/paranoia on the shelf for at least a

little and exhibits his skills as a masterful

filmmaker.

 

Yeah.

Shit was typical corrupt/undercover cop movie.

Alright to watch once, but don't expect too much.

 

i did see this, im using it at a prime example of how many [mainstream] films

have been fucking up in the homestretch.

 

i thought this movie was hot off the gate. the characters might

have been pretty typical, but they were at least pretty vivid and the

production was gritty and felt real. I thought there were, potentially,

some pretty dynamic story arcs taking trajectory.. and then you got

to the 3rd act and it all just took the most linear way out. this guy

shot this guy after he shot this other guy and then another guy gets shot. what the fuck ever.

Fuckin' good movie... thought i had seen it, guess not. "quirky" is what most would call it... in the same vein as Sunshine Cleaning and Ghost World... lot's of interesting dialogue.

))<>((

Also a very good flick. interesting concept and and Shannyn Sossamon is in it, so you've got a nice dose of eye candy if you're too stupid to enjoy the movie

(for those not knowin')

this shit was fucking weird. not in a funny, strange sense, but in the sense that i could not figure out if it was meant to be taken seriously. basically used a generic crime-ring/organized crime plot and applied it to an affluent high school for a setting... i would NOT go out of my way to watch this...

I see what you are saying, but there were about 10 movies made in the past few years that were similar to this in some manner. I'm just tapped out with cop dramas. And yes, it was a terrible ending, although I do love to see angry characters exact revenge.

LOLWUT?

You're buggin'.

It was a film noir homage.

 

watched "a Prophet" the other day. thought it was awesome, but it was sorta slow which was the only downfall,but the shank scene in jail, and the murders were definitely worth the wait.

 

Life is slow.
