Added to my list. I am on somewhat of a South Korean cinema binge. Watched "A Dirty Carnaval (Biyeolhan geor)" last night. Overall, I didn't care much for it but the fight scenes were brutal and realistically choreographed. ~rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, "Mr. Worf" wrote: > > Mov

Re: [scifinoir2] Knowles, Crowe to Star in "A Star is Born"

I support strongly both "Precious" and Tyler Perry's films. The former is painful to watch, and I get that some blacks are upset that its overall negative portrayals will reinforce the mainstream idea of what we are as a people. I get that, but it's an unfortunate truth: too many young black p

Re: [scifinoir2] Knowles, Crowe to Star in "A Star is Born"

Because it is a subtle manipulation of the audience. I think the last movie like that I saw was Eraser with Ahnald and Vanessa Williams. On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 6:47 AM, Keith Johnson wrote: > > > Why is that? > > > - Original Message - > From: "Mr. Worf" > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: movie review: A bittersweet life

I think that what is missing from American films is the sense of newness. Most of the films are shot the same way and have been pretty much the same since the 1990s. No one is trying new angles or techniques in this country. On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 4:02 AM, Kelwyn wrote: > Added to my list. I a

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: movie review: A bittersweet life

Compare the fight scenes of this and other Asian films you watch with American fight scenes. As discussed ad nauseum, I'm really despairing of so much American action fare, which is horribly choreographed. If you list Transformers, Crank, G.I. Joe, and other stuff, it's beyond ridiculous. I hon

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: movie review: A bittersweet life

Yea. The same for Bollywood as well. They use the older method and it is effective. There is a guy in some of the Bollywood movies that borrows from Jackie Chan (jumps, shimming down pipes etc.) but they rarely go overboard or do the quake cam. His name is Shah Rukh Khan. (Check out the Don) The p

Re: [scifinoir2] Knowles, Crowe to Star in "A Star is Born"

But "Eraser" wasn't a romance, was it? I don't recall them getting together as a couple. And let's be clear: i'm not fighting against interracial relationships. They exist, and should not be overlooked. But do the math: from TV to film, for decades, Hollywood has either ignored black love (which

You know I did see Something new, but not in the theater. I think I was watching it with my sister and her friend a while back. It was an pretty good film.
