Saw Prince of Persia on Friday. It was good, though I was kinda getting tired of all the slow motion.

Also, saw the Scott Pilgrim trailer. MAN I AM EXCITE FOR THIS MOVIE

I...What?

Is it bad that when the lampshade attacked her I was going omnomnom in my head?

That is completely different and I am very sorry.
Even though it's Korean, it still applies and I agree with you. I read the summary of The Uninvited, sounded bland in comparison to A Tale of Two Sisters. Lacked a lot of the intricacies and subtleties of the Korean film.

The only Japanese horror film I've seen that hasn't been talked is Suicide Club. It was enjoyable, and had the standard "symbolism within symbolism" that I see in a lot of Japanese films. (Yo dawg.) Was not camp at all.

Some Americans you talk to will say that Hollywood horror movies are terrible. All they consist of these days are terrible remakes, reboots, and unnecessary sequels with some minor "twist" to pull in fans of the original movie the others spawned from. Those who say these horror movies are genuinely good are typically the kind of people who go to a theatre for a cheap thrill and don't look too deeply into what they're watching. Only Japanese horror remake I've heard from friends who are avid movie-goers was decent was The Grudge, and the original Japanese director directed it which may or may not have anything to do with that. (Critical reviews still say it was pretty terrible.)

Generally I tend to enjoy the originals, simply because, like Tabarnaco's teacher said, Hollywood takes the idea and reformats it so it will appeal to American audiences. Not to mention that even if an adaptation tries to be faithful, a lot of things can get lost in translation. I'd rather sit through the original concept than waste my time viewing someone's reinterpretation.

High five for Suicide Club. I love that movie.

I saw Get Him to the Greek yesterday.

I liked it, but I think watching it gave me a contact high.

aaaaaaaaaah I duuno why but we were talking about animated movies or something on skype around midnight and sheila brought up little nemo and I remembered the game so I went and watched it.

Jesus christ, it was amazing. I think it's one of my new favorites.

I've never seen Little Nemo when I was a kid, so I started watching it on the interbutts.

So far, it's really awesome. I love the art style, it's a bit like western animation traditions but there's still a Japanese feel to it, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.

Dory kinda reminds me of an anime character.

HOLY MOTHER OF BADASS

Go see this movie immediately.

Well, it was actually made in Japan, then later released in the U.S., derp derp.

Don't worry, I wouldn't have known that either if I hadn't seen it in the description on a Youtube video and subsequently looked it up on Wikipedia.

Apparently Hiyao Miyazaki worked on it for a while, then split for some vague artistic differences reason.

So I went to watch Prince of Persia.
My opinion on this is... I don't know. I really don't. The pictures are beautiful, but everything else is mediocre at best. The story was so plain ffffffff-
I mean, I did go in there with the mentality that I won't expect much, but I got even less :I
Oh well, atleast the entry was free since we had gift tickets. I think if we actually paid for the movie, I would've been angry.

Agreed, I enjoyed it.

More than Prince of Persia which I saw last week, it seemed to drag on at times, where the A-team is pretty much the same length but kept a better pace.

So, Transformers 3 is going to feature Shockwave, but not Megan Fox.

Whoo.

I read when they did TF1 that they were planning on having Unicron in the third movie.

Unicron and Shockwave would be the only reason I'd ever watch TF3 now, though. And only just for them. I've lost all faith in Bay and this movie franchise. At least Megan Fox won't be in the last one, which might make it a bit more bearable. Now they just need to get rid of Shia Lebeouf and I might consider of paying to see it.

AWKWARD ZOMBIE

That was delicious!
