I saw it in the US and I don't know if it was released in the UK. People out here don't go to see movies very often, so they tend to release big blockbusters that they know will make a lot of money.<BR/><BR/>I've been trying to watch Youth Without Youth (Francis Ford Coppola) but I can't find it anywhere near me. I also want to see No Country for Old Men, I Am Legend and Sweeney Todd. They all come out in the next few weeks.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570689154769342186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611738229056472707.post-65814001209363358362007-12-30T18:44:00.000+11:002007-12-30T18:44:00.000+11:00So, You did watched Lust, Caution.

It seems to me there are so many plots related to Chinese culture.Jessica Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763469077445655085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611738229056472707.post-21908887881103685722007-12-30T18:11:00.000+11:002007-12-30T18:11:00.000+11:00Apparently it's been doing quite well at the box o...Apparently it's been doing quite well at the box office, in spite of its awfulness.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

Of course, I went to watch this film with watching entertainment/adventure/action film attitude. I understood I was not going to watch the best film of the year, but it failed miserably on that department as well. Recently, a lot of hollywood blockbuster films just put a lot of action seqences together, but they couldn't keep story going. Bad script. Period. For me, It bores me when they keep putting all action sequences without reasons even though those action sequences sound exciting. I don't know it's just me or what. Girl? Maybe boys will have different feeling when they watch this film.Jessica Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763469077445655085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611738229056472707.post-25527772111424210512007-12-30T04:36:00.000+11:002007-12-30T04:36:00.000+11:00I saw the trailer for this and I almost laughed ou...I saw the trailer for this and I almost laughed out loud at the complete ridiculousness of the script. It's trying to be The Da Vinci Code (but without a shred of realism) and failing.<BR/><BR/>I also saw some clips on Apple's site. They were being chased by Ed Harris in a car with barrels across the road. Lots of exciting things were happening but I wasn't excited at all. You can't put stuff like that in a movie and automatically get people excited, just like you can't have a funeral in a film and automatically make people cry. You have to earn it.<BR/><BR/>A lot of Hollywood producers don't think like that unfortunately.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570689154769342186noreply@blogger.com
