Comments on: DVD Releases for November 11th, 2008 http://www.moviezeal.com/dvd-releases-for-november-10th-2008/ The official podcast of MovieZeal.com, where film is always best discussed under the gentle influence of fine wine (as fine as $10 will get you). Each week Evan, Heather, and Luke pick a theme, discuss a theatrical release based on that theme, pop the cork and drink a wine that fits said theme, and finally subject one another to The Gauntlet, where forcing others to watch painful films nets you fabulous prizes. There is not anything else on the internets like it (literally).

Really for dance fans only, but there are some interesting cultural nuggets as it follows b-boy crews from Paris to Seoul to Las Vegas. And I just have to comment here so I don’t accidentally win a copy of Southland Tales..;-P I actually forgot about Planet B-Boy – more so because there have been so many great docs this year, not because it’s bad.

Spagetti western meets Samurai film meets a splatter of English literature. Weirdness. Miike is a strange director, and he is a hit or miss kind of guy. I would rank this film below Audition but way better than God's Puzzle, or Izo. All the stuff with Quentin was tacked on after the film was pretty much complete. I have been told the role for QT was wrote specifically for him. If that is true, it would make sense as all QT part are in a really strange Kabuki theatre backdrop style. They had probably got rid of the sets. Loved Sukiyaki Western Django. Spagetti western meets Samurai film meets a splatter of English literature. Weirdness.

I thought it was great fun, but I know there have been a lot of complaints from Miike lovers. Lots of people of harped on the script and dialogue, but I really dug the whole super-cheesy-wooden feel of it, like Miike was trying to channel a badly dubbed martial arts flick.

Maybe him and I just differ b/c I can't imagine how this movie is tons of fun!
