Review(***) |
It's well-make Sc-fi ,action movie.
Sometimes wire-works disrupted to show Kun-Fu action sequence.
It was too bad. Why do they wanted to mixture of Kun-fu and wire-work?
I thought it was unnecessarily to adopt wirework as far as Jet Li's action
Anyway,he played two totally different roles not only Kun-fu style.
If you expected current image of Jet Li like "smiling babyface who always
realized why for this "fight" You might be tricked by him.
He enjoyed the dark side of Jet- Yulaw- also he made us outstake the
end of movie.
And the sunny side of Jet-Gabe-Jet approached this character like never
before.
In the movie he lost ,doubt himself many times. It's rare of type of Jet's
hero character.
Also this movie is hidden another of theme I suppose like..place
importance of human link" Probably it decide of destiny Yulaw
and Gabe in the last sequence.
By the way... if you watched it check out another version of Jet Li.
I promise you couldn't stop your laugh!!(g)
Yeah... he also enjoyed to shoot it... |

REVIEW(****) |
It was the best movie cast and crew who would be better to "being
sub" What do you mean? Kevin Costner consistent "supporting actor"
and "how to produce JFK and his family". It was very good.
It was for a long time to see such like him. He consisted "growing
other person,keep quiet". Also director of shooting A.Bardkowiak
who directed "Romeo Must Die" his directing sometimes not good however
shooting tech was good. How to adopt real film and mono film was good
There was no annoying CG, natural mixing studio set,we should be
thanksful shooting director.
The best point of this movie was casting, how does he look like S.Culp!
Everybody who are generation of JFK said "How look alike Bobbie!"
Also Mcnamara and JFK. Also they "historic concerned" about not only
costume ,interior,system.
After JFK was gone his medical prescription came appear in his house
How tough for him not only 13days,such as episode include this movie
And Com.who had to say "didn't get bombing from Cuba" in council
He is nephew of JFK. |

REVIEW(***) |
Based on the Billi Wilder's movie. There are many different
points from original.
Instead of Sabrina went to cooking school,she went to
Paris to study fastion. Speaking of that company profile
...instead of prastic company,he made slim type
liquid-crystal color TV. Then he ride concord when he
followed Sabrina.
I don't know Harrison was interested in Boggie who played
original version of Linus however he played it funny and
sweet. Julia played Sabrina well than Audrey maybe.
Her Sabrina was dramatic than Audrey's Sabrina.
We can enjoy and relax to see it.

REVIEW(*****) |
How cool Delon was!
As far as I'm concerned nobody would match him
in "hard-boiled actor"
Story plot was similar of This Gun for Hire
'42s old Alan Ladd movie (he is famous for Shane)
Jef appeared targeting place even though he already
knew there was steakout.
Delon wrapped up This Gun in his movie
Director Jean=P=Melville always mixed "death"
and "betray" in movie as story's essence.
Why? He thought Film noir is aesthetics of death.
Whenever work with Melville, Delon always paid
attention how to wear soft hat.
He told soft hat is the most important detail
tool of film noir.
My recommendation was the last scene.
He stick to his policy as a sniper who never
opened his mind and keep his mind.
Instead of tell appreciation, he appear the
Jazz bar with a gun , no bullet,misty eyes...
yeah, nobody replace Delon! |

REVIEW(****) |
Based story was written in end of '80s.
At that time,an aonther director was going to
direct this movie. Casting was decided only Mr.Rose.
Director Lusse passed over directing plan once though
eventually he directed it.
T.Maguire was casted role of Buster who was casted
K.Calkin at first.
But time went by fast,Tobey grow up to play main role Homer.
Anyway...we could find each charaster had paradoxical
personality. For example, Homer was rolemodel of
orphant children on the other hand he wanted to go out there.
Dr.Larch liked to give lecture everybody and openmind but he
worried about future of Homer.
Color tone reminded me Andrew Wyeth who came
from Maine at that time
Color tone pointed contrast of their colors.
The Apple farm was open mind on the surface but
it had dirk-side of worker's mind.
After Homer figured out it, he was able to find where
should he back, I thought.
It was too late or not,I'll leave you.

REVIEW(****) |
Probably, Anthony Quinn was born for this role.
Zorba was really daring, man without fear, hellicat,
but impossible to hate.
Probabry he know what can be done now, what is
the most important for your life.
There were some unneeded seqences (Widows and Madame
died suddenly) however there were some tips and tricks
how to life society now.
First of all, Basil ended up to hire Zorba in spite of
he didn't know who is he. Then he screw up all the time.
Basil was about to freak out Zorba's did.
But he remembered Zorba gave him how beautiful your life.
Why Zorba behave like now....
There was tips and trick hiring aiging persons.
Above all I got the meaning of "Zorba's dance".
We can't predict what would you do if you would face
crazy situations.
