George D Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I never really enjoyed "Shogun" the movie but then I had read the book 4 times and I don't think the movie did it justice. I recall when I had just finished the book the first time I felt a tranquility which I hadn't expereienced before. I had the same experience of tranquilty after reading Shogun.

Nemo Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 BE-san, Have you seen it yet? Come on man... give us your enlightened break-down. I really enjoyed it. Like TL and DT, I think it's one of the best Cruise's ever, up there with Jerry McGuire(?) Have a good weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Allright... Since I joined Hollywood Video's MVP club - basically 10 bucks a month and you can have up to three movies out at any time - which is shocking because I normally run away at the first sign of "joining a club," I watched it last night. I'd give it a 6. But I was in a funky mood so I wouldn't say a 6 is final. Cruise was good but not that compelling. But then of course I'm not a big fan. My favorite fight scenes were the trainin/sparing duels. Those were pretty cool. And sorry Duane but I think you must have been stuck in one of your laughing fits when you said - "This thing makes a Jim Jarmusch film look straightforward." That's over the top.

Duane Thomas Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 You are referring to Vanilla Sky, right? Not The Last Samurai. Heh. Laughing fit. Heh. (Those of you who weren't there just don't get the joke.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron45 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I waited for "The Last Samurai"to come out in DVD.When it finally came out a couple of months ago,I ordered a copy right away.I first saw the movie about a month ago and sinced then,I've seen it 4 times already.I think that this is the best movie of Tom Cruise so far.I still haven't seen "Collateral"yet though. baron45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron45 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I watched the movie last night and, whilst I enjoyed it, I would rate it behind Shogun. Another favourite East-West clash movie is "The Red Sun" which starred Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune (not to mention Ursula Andress). I just ordered the DVD of "The Red Sun"from Amazon.com a couple of weeks ago.I think that this one is of the best movies of Charles Bronson. baron45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
