I loved it, but seeing it on a 3D screen is a big part of the appeal.

Yeah, I've seen a number of movies in IMAX theaters, but this one was probably the one the most benefited from it. It was rather amazing. And I'm not normally a fan of the 3D fad; on the contrary.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Merantau (2009).

QuoteGareth Evans and Iko Uwais' first foray into the wild and wooly world of martial arts cinema may wind up known to history principally for how it laid the groundwork for The Raid, but their Merantau is not just important for what it taught the two men: it is a vividly memorable success on its own terms.

Acts of killing, part III

B+

The Raid 2: Berandal

QuoteFinally responding to all those complaints that Merantau and The Raid simply had too much human feeling, Gareth Evans has removed as much as he could from The Raid 2.  With that caveat, however major, this sequel is everything you could have hoped for, contributing powerfully to what is already shaping up to be a truly excellent year in film.

Pacific Rim: Oh my  :huh:



Next time, read the box better.

Dude, that movie was bad.

Maybe the Assburger gen liked it.

The recent spree of Languishites watching Pacific Rim proves the show biz axiom that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

I only caught  it because  was on HBO this last weekend.

Anyone remember a late 90s show called Cupid?  Rewatching it, loving it.
