'Harm's Way'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
They're doing a noir remake of Enter the Dragon.
Hmmm...
Titled "Awaken the Dragon," the remake will put a noir-ish spin to the original story. It centers on an FBI agent who hunts down a rogue Shaolin monk into the dark, violent underground world of martial arts fight clubs.
If I recall, the plot of the original EtD was, BRUCE LEE rips off his shirt, and kicks some major ass, because he's BRUCE LEE. I'm not sure how that translates to a remake.

Chairman Kaga was in there too. But with his shirt on.
Really? I thought it was hysterical.
I haven't seen it yet, so I'm just reporting the early critical consensus.

Yeah, that's pretty much the point. It's like remaking Top Hat without Fred Astaire. Not. Replaceable.
I pimp Avatar to everyone who will stand still long enough to listen, and especially people who have or are buying for kids. I can't wait for the next season to start.
Avataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!! I don't think I knew you were among us Buffista Avatar fans. We are legion, it seems.
Nobody's quite loving Deniro's performance, though.
Really? IGN thinks it's practically Oscar-worthy.
I had to divorce the movie from the book in my head, but I enjoyed both of them very much.
Yes. After I read the book, which has an almost completely different third act (if the book even has any sense of traditional plot structure at all), I decided to like them both as separate entities because I really liked the movie...possibly more, in some cases.
Haven't read the book. I find this is the ideal way to see based-on-a-book movies.
Porco Rosso gets a few viewings here, too, but we have to skip the fight at the end, which is a bit too intense for our little guy.

I think that's Emmett's favorite part. Of course, he's been saying "Violence is cool!" since he was five.
I love Totoro, but it pushes some particular buttons of mine very hard, so I always spend part of the movie crying. Which is why I prefer to watch Kiki's Delivery Service more.
But they're both movies I'm planning on introducing Princess Tickybox to. Those, Monsters, Inc., and Lilo and Stitch.
Lilo and Stitch.
One of Emeline's FAVORITES.
It's okay, my dog found the chainsaw.
