Has anyone seen Police Beat? I caught it at the Cardiff Film Festival and thought the actual storyline as such was quite unique, the central actor was excellent but the other cast members were...
Oscar you have no idea how unique you are having seen "A Way of Life", as you know it's set in Wales but it absolutely bombed here, you are the first person I know who has seen it.
As for me, I...

I was referring to the fact that what you brought up as regards the storlyine:
older men having an such attraction and accessibility to young females.
Many would regard as a nuance of...
As a Japanese American, I find myself it a particularly unusual position regarding stereotypical racial expectations. As this world becomes more and more genetically mixed, our world becomes more...
This is just getting bloody silly, you interpret what I say to suit your own means despite my explanation. You can twist and turn things as much as you like, it doesn't change my original intention....
I'm sorry you found so much fault with my comments but after all the build up to the film, it was a lot lighter than I expected.
The slut comment wasn't meant to be taken too seriously and I was...

I thought I'd been cramming it with around 400 films a year over the last couple of years but I can't imagine how you could watch so many and put so much of your time and effort into this site,...
Saw Brokeback Mountain early today, I'll write my opinion a little later except to say I enjoyed it and there was a good sized audience (mostly female) which for an early screening was a very...
Kitano may be cult in the West but in Japan he is huge, apart from directing and starring in films he is exceptionally busy with several TV shows.
Again where his or other films are cult hits at...
I'll try and list some, I'm not really into the whole "Yakuza" genre but I do remember seeing scenes in films from Kitano, Miike, Fukasaku and Ishii amongst others.
I'm hoping to see Brokeback...
Sorry to jump in again despite not having seen the film yet.
Talking about Asian cinema though, there are literally dozens of gangster films especially from Japan where there is no issue of Gay,...
Thanks for the thanks arsaib4 although I have no idea (for myself) why there's any reason for the thanks!
I suggest we swap for 2006, you can go to the Cardiff Festival and I'll cover Toronto, how...
It wouldn't surprise me if this does really well in Japan, a huge section of the Manga market is devoted to gay male romances, apparently they sell very well with females.
As for asserting...
I don't know about the US but all the hype in the UK has pushed it as a "Gay Western" and I have no doubt at all that this will put a number of people off.
Another little point that shows it is...
J'accuse.
I must accuse myself of plagiarism, although I didn't re-read arsaib4's comments on Spare Parts till I posted my own, it's very obvious that a certain phrase he used stuck in my mind and...
Not a pleasant subject but if it brings any awareness to the situation then it's for the good. What happened in Cardiff is only a tiny microbe of what's going on throughout the World, I'm damn sure...

Thanks arsaib4, I've had "Spare Parts" sitting around for a couple of weeks now along with a few others including Claire Denis's "The Intruder". Your comments have given me the incentive to see it...
