Returner is Takashi Yamazakis movie
and tells story girl from future goes back to past to save world
from Alien invasion

Last Samurai is Edward  Twicks movie tells story about
time when japan wanted get newer but Samurais Repelled against them

[SadisticSid]

Somehow I think the latter has somewhat more majority appeal.

I saw The Last Samurai a week or two ago. Sorry to have to disagree with you, but it was utter crap. It was too melodramatic and fake, and Tom Cruise has an ego the size of the universe.

Apparently, the director has never heard of the word subtelty.

You talk about subtetly ( I'm sure that's not the right sp but who cares ) after such a post? Man.

[Rictor]

Yes, but I'm not tasked with faithfully portraying a complicated historical situation while at the same time trying to develop deep, believable characters who show a tab bit more complexity than Conan the Barbarian.

Man, my teachers warned me about using run-on sentences, but I just didn't listen.

What I mean is that the three films are effectively the same, just change the country and the leading character.
It was good to watch but uninspiring.

I just watched Fight Club, now there's a movie.

fookin' a.

Though I did consider Braveheart and Gladiator to be far worthier films than this. I got the DVD of the Last Samurai, and one of the extras was about the history of the time period. Tom Cruise sure looked like he knew about the time, the people and all that. And I watched this before the movie, so I thought "hey, you know, he might actually pull it off, he does seem to have done his homework".

By the end of the film, my entire family was laughing, and some had left. I guess history just can't compete with Tom Cruise's ego.

[color=66ff00]Best Matrix fight scene IMHO is the one between Neo and Seraph. Now that was fighting.

[jdjtcagle]

indeed

[Rictor]

Nah, its the Neo-Smith fight in the subway at the end of the first Matrix. I'm reluctant to say 100 Smiths, cause I'm sort of a purist :D

[adwight]

I liked the Last Samurai.  The part that really got me was when the horses were charging at the gatling guns, shows you the brutality of war.

[Rictor]

oh come on, you couldn't actually have believed that. It so obviously designed to induce a certain emotion. Sappy to the extreme. If they wanted to make you cry or something, they should have made it believable so you could actually feel for the characters. Like the end of Big Fish, now that was "real."

FULL METAL JACKET!!

Last Samurai is Dances with Wolves + Samurai and - wolves.

Last Samurai rocked like few cheesy hollywood flicks have ever rocked.

Now, tell me more about Returner. Its on On-Occasion--er On-Demand--and I'm curious to know more about it before I drop 1.99 on it.
