Tokyo! -- 74%




Fans of Michel Gondry (The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Be Kind Rewind) should give this triptych anthology a view not only for the director's take on relationships in modern day Japan (in his short film Interior Design), but also for an introduction to his star, Japanese writer and actress Ayako Fujitani (whose father is action star Steven Seagal). French critic and filmmaker Leos Carax contributes the short Merde, about a sewer-dwelling monster who becomes a media sensation, while Joon-Ho Bong rounds out the film with his story Shaking Tokyo, about one of the city's "hikikomori," or shut-ins, who dares to leave his home for the first time in years, for love.

When "Street Fighter" isn't the worst movie of the week...something is SERIOUSLY wrong! I'm looking at you "Transmorphers 2"! I saw the first, and had to shower in holy water to get the awfulness off me.

LOL, Ledawg. I actually might give STREET FIGHTER: LEGEND OF CHUN LI a view. A friend of mine said he saw it and it was so horrible it was funny. "Nash out!"

Boll needs to jump off a cliff. He ruined Far Cry.

Why the **** has no one kicked Uwe Boll's ***. Please no more critics trying to box him. But, there has got to be someone in hollywood who wants to kick the **** out of him(Michael Bay?).

P.S.- Can't wait for Kane and Lynch. Stay away Uwe Boll!

Ah yes, Transmorphers. Made by The Asylum, the crappy movie studio that also brought you Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.

rambo-killer: I never thought I'd root for Michael Bay, but if they were forced to fight it's a no brainer.

arnedr: "Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus" is their best...that shows how good they are.

Really doesn't look like a good week. No, I will not give the Razzie winning film a shot. However I can highy recommend Two Lovers to anyone. I caught it in theatres and very much enjoyed it. It is a realistic romance. Very good film. Highly recommended. Other than that nothing I have interest in

His serious films may suck, but I thought Postal was hilarious.

Actually, M. Bay actually responded to Boll bashing him

http://www.bingegamer.net/2008/michael-bay-uwe-boll-is-a-sad-being/

He doesn't care the least. At least Bay's movies are making a ton of money despite scathing reviews.

I know it's a bad week for good movies, but there's something about having:

- new Uwe Boll
- Street (4%) Fighter
- Transmorphers 2 (did you see that CG robot?)
- Fred Durst directing a movie
- new Renny Harlin
- and a 00% Hal Ashby movie.

I find this week in DVD highly amusing. Then again, I'm sort of fascinated with bad movies.

JEN OUT!

I might see Street Fighter just for laughs... I love terrible cheesy movies, which makes me want to see Transmorphers as well (which I'm sure is still better than the material its ripping off. I mean, at least its funny, even if it is unintentional, which I actually don't think it is, but yeah...).

However, Tokyo! and Two Lovers sound great, especially Tokyo! because I'm a total Japanophile (and no, that doesn't mean I just love anime and sushi, I pretty much am fascinated with everything from/about Japan besides those two things), I'm looking at you Jen. (Yamato is Japanese, right? I already feel creepy enough, but if I'm wrong... yikes).

I really do love how RT bashes many of these films then shamelessly self promotes exclusive clips and such. (and no. I'm not being sarcastic, I really do like it!)Speaking of shameless self promotion, here's my [crappy and useless] twitter account! http://twitter.com/AronDej

Good article Jen, I LOL'd lots. (oh, and don't I use parentheses too much?)
