King Kong
What a strange film....
Coming away I have this sense of enjoyment. I felt it was worth my time, but there are all these after thoughts...
Like What the hell is Jack Black staring off at?
Then We all know King Kong was mainly CG, but why did everything else have to look like and intro to a video game?

Keep it Simple Please!
how great are the japanese!!!
I have been playing katamari damacy now for a while. its wonderful so simple so fun it is the simple wonder of the gaming world.
Basiclly we have becomes such consumers we have lost sight of the stars. Now the crap we have collected here on earth is being roled up and sent back to the sky so we can see the stars once more. Very deep, maybe even a bit read into this discription.
A game for the whole family. I just wish there was a better two player mode. I was so excited to hear they were going to bring the game out for the PSP. but then I realized it might not be so fun because the player mechanics just arent there. You have two analog joystick in the PS2 game and on the PSP there is only one. The rumor was started by walmart... a glitch? maybe...
Katamari 2 is coming out sometime. Wonder if they will work on the 2 player mode?

Long time no write
Well I think there is lots to write but I guess I will start with Sin City ohhh, I an not too sure. yeah wow cool but there was a lot of things about the film that bothered me. The image quality is very good in relationship to some of the characters but the attempt good as it was was no Frank Miller. Even though I enjoy Brian Michael Bendis more. if you are interested look at the Comic article one Fortune and Glory. JINX one of his book is a great style likeness with that Of frank Miller, but I think there was more story. It was on the road to being a movie, yet never made it. since then this came out?
I am a fan of Rodriguez. But this was just ok. I would have loved to see the whole movie filtered to look like the comic.
Looking around at the site made a bad link. Remember www.sincitythemovie.com not just www.sincity.com or you'll be surprised! hahahaha.
Robert Rodriguez set out to make Sin City the most fastidiously accurate comic-book adaptation ever. In that sense he has succeeded admirably. The film is an almost perfect replica of Frank Miller's groundbreaking series -- from the black-and-white cinematography to the digital sets just this side of surreal. The cast is the uncompromising embodiment of Miller's hard-boiled characters: gumshoes, gun molls, hatchet men, and dirty cops, all clashing and wheeling amid the mean streets of the title metropolis. The dialogue is lifted directly from the page, in most cases unchanged. Every shot has one of Miller's frames as its genesis; Rodriguez even flashes a few originals onscreen during the credits, to give us a solid point of reference. In a thousand different ways, Sin City hearkens to the two-tone graphics that spawned it, straying as little as possible from the initial creative vision.
The trouble is that accuracy isn't the same thing as quality. There are inherent differences between the mediums that Sin City never thinks to address, causing hairline fractures in its superficially perfect facade. While the best parts of the comic are reproduced, so too are the flaws -- the one-note personalities, the recycled plot devices, the self-indulgent "deader they die" clichés -- which Rodriguez's technique exacerbates like a pimple under a magnifying glass. The results are mixed in the extreme: visually stunning, but also empty and strangely silly at times. We cheer for the actors, but blanch at what they say; we marvel at the images, but snarl when they flash by so quickly. All of it can be traced back to Rodriguez's stated thesis, to which Sin City is faithful all the way to its grave.
Consider the process of reading a comic book. It's an individual experience, controlled by the reader who decides how long to spend lingering on each panel. Miller's gorgeous extreme-contrast imagery is well-suited to such contemplation, evoking details through cunning suggestions that take awhile to sink in. The movie, however, doesn't move at our pace. It moves at Rodriguez's pace, regulated by the flashy rhythms of his edits. Though he endeavors to reproduce the panel-by-panel feel of the books, the demands of cinema force him to keep it moving in order to maintain the energy. Instead of immersing ourselves in the material, we simply skim across it, gleaning only the surface details before moving on to the next razzle-dazzle visual. Eventually, frustration begins to set in.
More distressing is the way that Miller's shortcomings are reproduced along with his strengths. Sin City is divided into three parts, each adapting a complete story from the comics. "The Hard Goodbye" is a tale of revenge as street-tough Marv (Mickey Rourke) seeks out the killers of a hooker (Jamie King) who showed him a moment of kindness. "The Big Fat Kill" follows the fugitive Dwight (Clive Owen), also trying to protect the ladies of the night, this time from a potential mob takeover. Finally, "That Yellow Bastard" gives us a world-weary cop (Bruce Willis) who endures the loss of everything he holds dear to protect a young exotic dancer (Jessica Alba) from a corrupt senator's sociopathic son (Nick Stahl). The differences between the three stories lie in the details -- they're all variations on the same basic theme, as most of Miller's work is. But taken together, their similarities grow eerily repetitive, suggesting not so much the scope of the comics as their inevitable repetition.
Dialogue becomes another recurring problem, which is particularly troublesome since it all comes straight from Miller's text. But again, reading words in your head differs from hearing them spoken aloud; brought before the cold light of day, they elicit more giggles than gasps. Though the script possesses a Chandler-esque rhythm that becomes comforting after awhile, it's hard to take it seriously when lines like "My warrior woman, my Valkyrie, you'll always be mine" are delivered with a stony gravitas. The performances seem geared toward heightening the artifice: deliberately stilted and rendered in staccato bursts. As hypertext, it has some success in pointing out its own superficiality, but the loving reverence shown by Rodriguez and Miller (who share directing credit) struggles against humor that sometimes veers into the unintentional.
It's all the more dispiriting for the fact that parts of Sin City are truly brilliant. Paper thin though it may be, there's still undeniable power onscreen. Scars and bandages stand out in glowing white, while faces appear positively luminous beneath the deliberately artificial skyline. Rourke and Willis are well-suited to this ultra-noir world, and Elijah Wood makes a striking presence as a mute serial killer. The film is bookended by a sharp pair of vignettes featuring Josh Hartnett, and peppered with moments where the marriage of vision and theme becomes close to irresistible. Sadism, brutality, and rampant machismo are here as well, but as fans of Miller can attest, their over-the-top qualities are part of the appeal. And yet for all that, Sin City is never as deep, as exciting, or even as fun as it wants us to think. Other comic adaptations (Sam Raimi's Spider-Man comes to mind) were able to transcend their funny-pages origins while paying deep and abiding homage to them. For Rodriguez, loyalty is the altar upon which everything is sacrificed. The results are daring and ambitious, to be sure, but ultimately nothing more than a Xerox copy. I'm sure that Miller is quite pleased with Sin City. To my unending sadness, I just wasn't so easily seduced.

Constantine
Based on the DC/Vertigo comic book Hellblazer and written by Kevin Brodbin, Mark Bomback and Frank Capello, Constantine tells the story of irreverent supernatural detective John Constantine (Keanu Reeves), who has literally been to hell and back. When Constantine teams up with skeptical policewoman Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister (also played by Weisz), their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldy events, the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost.
read more comment ripped from IMDB...
Constantine was the Roman emperor who recognized Christianity and made if possible for the Church to move from the underground into the public arena. He did it out of convenience, thinking that it would be easier to work with the Christian church than try to fight it. He lived most of his life as a ruthless leader who gave the orders to kill even members of his family. Constantine accomplished much good in his life, even though he had what most would say were impure motives.
But the Roman Constantine is not the same as the same-named title character of the new film, "Constantine," from DC-Vertigo Comics and Warner Brothers Pictures. Or is he? John Constantine, from the comic novels "Hellblazer," is doomed to hell when he dies. His situation may be hopeless, but he operates as if he could buy his way into heaven by doing enough good by removing enough evil from the world. He's a chain-smoking, hard-drinking, rude and uncaring man who is the hero of our film.
Angela Dodson is a pure-hearted, loving sister who is seeking the truth to her twin sister, Isabel's, death. It would seem she has nothing but the best motives, but conflicted people and incongruous motives are what make this movie interesting.
Interesting questions surrounding the death of Jesus Christ, the existence of demons on Earth, the ultimate destination of our soul when we die and even the perfect lack of all evil in angels are woven into a screen adaptation of a character and story with a cult following. It seems as though this ambiguity regarding good and evil may exist in film as well as real life. In "Constantine," it is not good verses evil -- but rather it is good and evil taking turns messing things up and making them better. In life the rule seems to be strangely similar. John Constantine's ability to do good without pure motives may give hope to the rest of us who regularly do things for all the wrong reasons.
The visuals and the sound presentation in this film are wonderful. Philippe Rousselot's cinematography and Brian Tyler and Klaus Badelt's energetic soundtrack are masterful. The acting, however, is only adequate. Keanu Reaves has long since learned how to play Keanu Reaves. He continues with what he knows best. Shia LaBeouf, after a similar role in "I, Robot," is becoming quite an accomplished "plucky sidekick" too. But the standout in this film is the emotional and endearing performance by Rachel Weisz as Angela Dodson. The movie is one worth seeing aside from her presence, but Weisz's performance take it from a "see it if you like action movies" recommendation to a "see it to admire Rachel Weisz's performance" endorsement.

Whisper of the Heart
Whisper of the Heart is a quiet, realistic film from Studio Ghibli, more in the style of Only Yesterday than the studio's action packed fantasies like Laputa. There is not much in the way of plot to the movie, it's more of a character study as we watch the main characters interact and grow with each other.
The story centers on Shizuku TSUKISHIMA, a 14 year old growing up in the suburbs of modern Toyko. She is bookworm who wants to write when she grows up. Over her summer break she discovers that all the library books she has been reading have been checked out before her by someone named Seiji AMASAWA. Through a series of semi-magical accidents, she meets Seiji and finds out he is another student at her junior high. He wants to be a violin maker and is going to try for an apprenticeship in Italy. Struck by the example of someone working so hard to fullfil his dream, Shizuku sets herself a challenge to write a real story. This will prove to herself and the rest that she can achieve her dreams of being a writer. We only see a little bit of the story she writes, while the movie focuses on the typical adolescent struggles to prove that one has some talent or ability that make one a worthwhile or lovable person. In that sense, it is probably closer in themes and spirit to Kiki than any other Ghibli film.
This is one of the few Ghibli films not directed by either Miyazaki or Takahata. Instead this was directed by Yoshifumi KONDO and was partially done to showcase the new generation of animators coming up at Studio Ghibli. Miyazaki did have a hand in the movie by writing the screenplay (based on a shojo manga by Aoi HIIRAGI) and the storyboards and serving as executive producer.
Only the short (two minutes total) fantasy sequences where Shizuku is imagining her story were directed by Miyazaki. The artist who did the incredibly intricate backgrounds for these sequences was Naohisa INOUE. He was an established artist who invited Miyazaki to come to a gallery show of his fantasy artwork. His work has been influenced by Miyazaki's movies and he puts flying island in the sky that he calls "laputas". Miyazaki was impressed enough to buy one of his pieces for the Studio Ghibli offices, then later asked him to come work with them on the movie.
Ghibli (and Miyazaki and Takahata) had been criticized for only making movies which idealized the idea of country life and the countryside (inaka). So one of the reasons for choosing this story was as a reply to this criticism; to show they could make a movie set only in the urban and suburban life of modern Tokyo, yet still preserve the Ghibli sense of magic and joy in the story. Ironically, (as Ryo pointed out on the Miyazaki mailing list), the "new town" that Shizuku lives in is the one which was built on top of the tanukis' forest from Ponpoko. The opening panarama of the new city at night in Whispers is the same as the closing scene in Ponpoko.
Ryo also pointed out that part of the motivation for this movie was that Miyazaki "felt that children living in the modern day Japan need their own story" as opposed to the nostalgic movies like Totoro which look back to an idyllic country life. In Miyazaki's own words (translated by Ryo) "'For Shizuku, who grew up in the newly founded residential area in the city, the green earth or mountain momma has little to do with her. After many struggles, she reaches the conclusion that for her, this scenery with convenience stores and fast food restaurants is her 'home', and she has no choice but to live here with her feet down to earth."
One of the key elements of the movie is the old John Denver song Country Roads. The movie opens with Olivia Newton-John singing it (her version was a hit in Japan in the 1970s), and throughout the movie Shizuku struggles to write new Japanese lyrics to the song. At one point she does a parody of it called Concrete Roads which describes her city life. Ironically, her spoof is closer to her real life than the cliched images of country life that she keeps trying to use. The movie closes with her new version of the song, but now it is more about her life and her experiences growing up than about country life. Shizuku has finally begun to find her voice as a writer.
Family oriented production studios rarely get the recognition they deserve but Studio Ghibli definitely should. They have been putting out amazing works like Nausicaa, Laputa and Totoro that have not found their equal a decade after their release. They have literally blown away the animation world with their sensational winds. Included in this team are Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, Yoshifumi Kondo and a few others.
1. Nausicaa: The Valley of Wind (1984)
Nausicaa the princess of a small nation, lives in a world devastated by a holocaust called the Seven Days of Fire. She tries to stop other warring nations from destroying themselves and from destroying the only means by which their world can be saved from the spread of polluted wastelands.
2. Laputa: Castle in the Sky (1986)
Pazu rescues an unconscious girl descending from the night sky with a glowing pendant around her neck. He helps the girl, Sheeta, to escape from the air pirates and the military who are obsessed with Laputa, a legendary kingdom on a floating island in the sky with which Sheeta is suspected of being connected.
3. My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
Totoro is a forest spirit that little Mei, and later her older sister Satsuki, encounter in a giant camphor tree near their new home in the countryside. Although their father, a university professor, is with them when they move, their mother is in the hospital, recovering from some unnamed illness. When Mei hears that her mother's condition may be worsening, she resolves to visit her all by herself. When everyone realizes she's missing, only Totoro knows how to find her!
4. Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
Alternately known as Tombstone for Fireflies, Grave is a very somber film about the struggle of two children to survive during World War II. Seita and his younger sister Setsuko are left to fend for themselves when their mother passes away from severe burns inflicted by the American fire-bombing of their town. Their father is serving in the Japanese navy, but the children have not heard from him in a long time, so Seita and Setsuko try staying with a distant relative. However, Seita doesn't get along well with this relative and decides to leave, taking Setsuko with him, to live on their own.
5. Kiki's Delivery Service (1989)
Kiki is a 13-year old witch. When a witch turns 13, it is traditional for her to move away from home to spend a year in another city or town where there is no witch already living, so that she can learn to be independant and practice her trade. This is Kiki's story of the beginning of her year away from home. She and her black cat Jiji run into a little trouble at first, but they soon make friends in their new city by the sea.
6. Only Yesterday (1991)
Only Yesterday revolves around Taeko, a single woman working a desk job in Tokyo in 1982, taking a vacation in the countryside with the family of her sister in-law. During her vacation, Taeko finds herself looking back at her time as a young schoolgirl growing up in 1966. The film flips back and forth between the two time periods with a lot of nostalgia and beautiful country scenery as Taeko sorts out her flashbacks and tries to make some tough decisions about her future.
7. Porco Rosso (1992)
Porco Rosso (the Japanese title Kurenai no Buta literally means The Crimson Pig) was first planned as a 30-45 minutes in-flight movie on Japan Airlines. It's been described as a movie which tired businessmen on international flights can enjoy even with their minds dulled due to lack of oxygen. As Miyazaki's imagination took off, it became a feature-length movie about an Italian Air Force pilot who left the service due to the rise of fascism. He became a bounty hunter, assuming the name Porco Rosso.
8. Ocean Waves (1993)
Ocean Waves is the official English title (from Japan) for a film more commonly known as I Can Hear the Sea (the literal meaning of the Japanese title). Set in Kochi (on the island of Shikoku), Umi tells the story of a love triangle that develops between two good friends and the new girl in school who transferred from Tokyo. The new girl, Rikako, is at first arrogant and distant, but eventually makes friends.
9. Pom Poko (1994)
In Pom Poko (the Japanese title literally means Heisei-era Raccoon War Pom Poko), Tanuki (animals native to Asia which look like raccoons) living in the forest near a government construction project, are being threatened by the destruction of their habitat. Banding together and seeking help from other tribes of Tanuki, they live up to their traditionally mischievous reputation by changing their shape and trying to sabotage the construction effort. When this fails, they stage one last great illusion, hoping to alert the city folk to the natural wonders being bulldozed to make room for yet another Tokyo suburb, before it's too late...
10. On Your Mark (MTV) (1995)
This music film, directed by Miyazaki for the Japanese pop music artists Chage & Aska, is by many accounts the seed of an idea for a film in its own right.
11. Whisper of the Heart (1995)
Mimi wo Sumaseba, which literally means If You Listen Closely, tells the story of Shizuku, a junior-high school student who is struggling to find out who she is. The movie takes you on a journey through her imagination and daily life as she makes decisions that will ultimately decide her future.
12. Princess Mononoke (1997)
Set during the Muromachi Period (1333-1568) of Japan, Mononoke Hime is a story about a mystic fight between the Animal Gods of the forest and humans. On the side of the Animal Gods is San (Mononoke Hime), a human girl raised by the wolf god Moro. On the side of the humans is Lady Eboshi, building a kingdom for oppressed people by cutting down the forest for her iron-making operation. In the middle of this fierce fighting for survival, Ashitaka, an Emishi boy, struggles to find a way for both sides to co-exist. But the fighting just becomes more and more bloody and all hope seems to be lost...
13. Spirited Away
Miyazaki's newest Movie !!!

The Forgotten
Plot:A grieving mother, Telly Parada, is struggling to cope with the loss of her 9-year-old son. She is stunned when her psychiatrist and her husband tell her that she has created eight years of memories of a son she never had. But when she meets the father of one of her son's friend who is having the same experience, Telly embarks on a mission to prove her son's existence and her sanity.
Thoughts:What a weird movie I am not sure what to think about it. it is one of those movies which at first you don't like it. The next day your thinking about it alot. Well, it is one of those. I am not too sure could ever think of it as a good movie merely because it gets quite corny from the middle on. I had no idea what the movie was going to be about I imagined it to be more like Six Sense. It had it moments and thrilling too but when people started getting sucked into the sky... the movie lost me. It is a good blah rainy day movie.

AppleSEED The Movie
I was searching for some books and bumped into AppleSEED the movie in a banner on IMDB. I was quite happy to find it today and baby bought it for me, at OtakunDen
Plot:
In a utopian society created at the end of the third world war, a female warrior who has been plucked from the badlands begins to see cracks in this new facade. And what does this community have planned for the rest of humankind?
Masamune Shirow is the writer of the comic and the movie aswell he wrote Ghost In the Shell, which AppleSEED is really a prequil to Ghost in the Shell like Tank Dominion. All these comics have been made into amine. Alone with a less remembered Black Magic M-66, he hads a new amine to his collection.
Looking at reviews i found people did not really find it that great as a plot... don't really see how to change that so people should get over it... what the amine is credited for is the mixture of cell and cg anime. I believe coming from the Stand Alone Complex series, they were able to work on fine tuning the studios abilities. The Store owner said the 3-d is great, just that in sunlit screens, the characters and objects look a bit too shiny!
Hope to see it soon.

Hotel Rwanda
Saw The movie, and wow it is a hard heavy great movie! If you want to see how horrible humans can be see not only the horrors of the internal brutality, but also the hashness of western ignorance. ratings don't quantify.
If you have not seen it see it. I warn you it is hard hitting and heavy.
In 1994, tensions between the two primary tribes in Rwanda, the Hutus and the Tutsis, exploded into full out war. "Hotel Rwanda" tells the true story of Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle, "Traffic"), a resourceful Hutu manager of a posh, dignified hotel located on Belgian ground within the country, who helped over a thousand Tutsi refugees by keeping them safe inside his hotel while hell on Earth broke out all over the area.
The easy comparison to make for "Hotel Rwanda" is to set it alongside "Schindler's List." Both films feature a kindly soul reaching beyond himself for the greater good, set against the backdrop of horrific genocide (one million Africans were slaughtered during this war). While "Rwanda" doesn't live to up the standards set by Spielberg's masterpiece, it does feature its terror in living color (the film is a hard, but deserved PG-13), and draws attention to a moment in African history that hasn't been dramatized with much effect before.
Writer/director Terry George has covered the Irish experience thoroughly in his films "Some Mother's Sons," and "In the Name of the Father," and he brings to "Rwanda" the same strength of focus to share untold stories to the world. "Rwanda" is an important film, sure to open the eyes of many with its taste of the Rwandan holocaust, but it also retains a powerful dramatic arc that might upset some looking for a more documentary feel to the film. This is Paul's story first and foremost, and the violent overthrow is seen through his eyes, or overheard on heated Hutu radio broadcasts. George sustains the breathless dramatic tension as we watch Paul sprint around his hotel trying to keep the Hutu army at bay, the ineffective U.N. officials (lead by a gruffer than normal Nick Nolte) on the grounds, and his own Tutsi family alive while his supplies dwindle, members of his staff turn on him, and hope slowly drips away. Brutal violence is seen outside of the hotel, but George keeps the view of atrocities spare, utilizing them only when he needs to make a persuasive point.
As Paul, Don Cheadle crafts a sublime performance that requires far more than what the actor has been giving the cinema for the last few years. This is a touching performance of frantic internal struggling and the craft of smooth talking, and it reveals that Cheadle has something more to offer the art form. He's wonderful, and the film would be lost without his presence.
Just so certain audience members don't go home and stick their heads into ovens, "Hotel Rwanda" does end on a slightly hopeful note, which the right choice for this bleak film. While it isn't the definitive word on the Rwandan holocaust, George has constructed a fine dramatic feature, and a good first step to educating the masses on this disturbing event.

Million Dollar Hotel
I saw the film when it first came out and really enjoyed it. There were so many details I forgot. I actually have seen it twice in the past few days to see some of the details better and it gets deeper and deeper. This is something to expect of Wim Wenders. Mel Gibson was great a serious psycho rather then the loony of Lethal Weapon.
The best scene is the interview between Tom Tom and Eloise and the test who's crazy.
Another amazing detail which I forgot was that Bono Wrote part of it, a true renaissance artist.
The Million Dollar Hotel is a story of friendship, betrayal and the overwhelming power of unconditional love. A gang of unique outcasts and misfits live in a downtown Los Angeles flea-pit, known locally as the "Million Dollar Hotel."
Their story is seen through the eyes of a lovesick innocent named Tom Tom (Jeremy Davies), who has fallen head over heels for the tarnished street angel Eloise (Milla Jovovich). As their relationship develops, the Million Dollar Hotel becomes the focus of a police investigation.
One of its residents, the engaging junkie Izzy, has come to a grisly end. To the amazement of his neighbors, he is revealed to have been the son of a billionaire media magnate. Every denizen of the Million Dollar Hotel falls under suspicion in the inquiry led by FBI hard-liner, Detective Skinner (Mel Gibson).

All of them
Just had a godfather Stretch one rainy day and three Godfather films. I think I remember films of old as much better then when you see them years later. I first memory of Godfather was when I was about 6 or so. My parents where going to watch it on TV... Doesn't seem bad by todays standards but years and years ago it was violence terrible for young children and on late night. The part I remember was everyone talking about wether or not they would have the Horse head scene or not. I would imagine even if memory didn't serve me correctly that part was omitted.
In anycase I have heard people say that the second part was better then the first, I am not quite sure why it was said. I think that the first holds together better. The third one though is nothing is comparison... And what is up with all the incest... I am not quite sure. I mean murder violence and carrying ons is one thing but sleeping with first cousins... so what if they have different last names, its just too wierd.
In all fareness they were good and worth that rainy day. SO if you have a day where you want to get under the covers and enjoy non stop gangsters... the trilogy is a fine choice. Get Goodfellas and Once Upon a Time in America if you want to kill yourself... maybe through in My Cousin Vinnie to break up the seriousness.
