I thought Azumi was cool...didja like it?
Felt like a manga.
Have yet to see #2, but I'll probably buy both in a double pack.
That girl is hot, man...

I just saw Scarface for the first time.
I had a friend who insisted I see it, literally getting on my ass with a "how could you not have seen this by now?!?" so since I just borrowed the game from him too, I figured I'd give it a look.
In all honesty considering how many people have talked this movie up, I just didn't think it was that great...it was ok, it was watchable, but nothing outstanding whatsoever in my opinion, I could probably do without ever seeing this one again.

I get why my friend liked it, or at least I suspect I do...first having seen a film like that at about the age of 13 would have you convinced it was pretty hot shit on account of the swearing and violence, maybe?

For me, it just seemed generic. The characters were just unlikable to me.
It was not "bad" by any stretch, just not the classic I've heard it made out to be...especially considering the other works of the writer and director.

I think Scarface grows on you with a few viewings. I saw it for the first time when I was about 13 and have gorwn to appreciate it more over the years. A few scenes really stand out but it is long winded. Along with Mean Streets it really set the pace for modern crime/gangster flicks. What's the game like?

Its a blast. Definitely better than Versus, which I thought was Kitamura's magnum opus. Some of the action sequences are absolutely mindblowing and top-notch. And Aya is a hottie!
I ve heard good things about pt 2, so definitely keeping an eye out for it. Its a must-buy for sure.

This Is Spinal Tap (1984)

I'll admit...this was not what I was expecting at all. But once I got used to the undeniably unique sense of humor, I thought it was fantastic. A great mix of subtlety and in-your-face comedy, with an amazing cast - made even more impressive by the fact that most of it was improvised. That's talent.

You should watch the Howard Hawks original. It's definitely my favorite gangster movie.
