Downloading, but I'll purchase soon enough if it's any good.

Interested to know what you think seeing as you're quite into comics. Its easily in the top 5 films I've seen so far this year.

Angel Unchained

An even lower budget version of Billy Jack meets Easy Rider.

As awful as it sounds- but a bit of fun. The romantic interest is Tyne Daly ferchrissake.

JSA: Joint Security Area: Here's a film with a clear and present message. Opened my eyes to the tension that exists between the North and South Koreas. Check this one out.
The Chinese Connection: I wasnt too huge a fan of this one, perhaps its was the god awful transfer and the fact that a guy with a deep voice dudbed Bruce Lee, he even attempted to dub his Kung Fu noises, which sounded really stupid and nearly killed the film.

Was that the first time you have seen precinct 13? The score is great, I have it on my ipod along with a bunch of other John Carpenter music, but when the precinct stuff comes on when I walking home late at night, it's just awesome.

The Warriors (1979)

I was expecting some more actions at the end but liked it overall. Gang fights were pretty fun to watch.:)

>>: B

The Stendhal Syndrome (1996)

A regular, decent psychological thriller from Argento.

>>: B-

Transformers 2. I know it's been getting a lot of shit, but I enjoyed it. Much better than the first one in terms of plot and development. Much worse in terms of gratuitous Megan Fox scenes.

Here ya go

The comic was well before "my time" as a comics enthusiast, but I picked up the tpb about 3 years ago and read it in almost one sitting...it was unlike anything else I'd read in comics before the "superhero" bit blurring into something of a gritty mystery, with not just one or two but MANY great characters interwoven into a sad and sombre tragedy while the story was dark, beautiful and hopeful all at the same time.

The movie actually almost got it right...there's seriously so little to nitpick about here that I'm personally amazed. Everyone played their roles well enough, the costumes and tech looked right, the city looked the same. Rorsh was, as he should be a bit terrifying.
The ending, well not the very ending, but the "ending" still hit me even when I knew it was coming.
Very good job done pulling off the look, atmosphere, and feel of the comic/story.
I think I'd actually throw 8.5 outta 10 to this one.
