I saw it this weekend and didn't like it much. I wasn't too impressed with the acting, and some of the effects were sort of cheesy. In a way it was a bit fun, but overall I found it more boring. At least in my opinion not worth submission for an oscar.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I recently saw the great yokai war which was a pretty fun movie and had a few laughs. Great movie for kids.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Glad I saw the original first.

Yeah, i saw that the other day. I really wish hollywood would stay away from already great asian films. I wonder what the remakes of Old Boy, My Sassy Girl, Windstruck, and Daisy will be like.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
