    Curse of the Golden Flower

    Anyone else see this? The place was packed, but I was the only one watching this film >.>

    I liked it a lot, aside from the mass boobage and the hotness Jiang Chan, I think this is Zhang Yimou's best film; Hes the one who directed Hero and House of Flying Daggers.

    The smaller battles are a little wierd, but the big battle is excellent; the story is great, the visuals are awsome and everything else about it was pretty good.

    When I was watching it all I could think of was Li Gongs acting; she deserves an award. Who would have guessed the ending? It surprised the hell out of me.

    It was interesting to see Chow Yun-Fat play a more sinister role.

    10/10

    Just a quick question.......

    How long is this movie?

    My wife and I want to see this movie but having a 2 week old baby we can only leave him for about 2 hr before he needs to feed off the tit. Or should we just wait for the video?

    Buy a breast pump and start to stock up on extra milk in the fridge for the baby sitter or when you wanna be nice and let her sleep while you get up and feed.

    The ones today are a lot better and don't hurt as much as the older models used to..

    Movies with Chow Yun-Fat tend to be great movies and this is no exception.

    agree. There's totally no story line in this movie just like the banquet
    battle of wits is so much better than this although the manga is better than the movie...

    Fearless was ok, his older movies were much better.

    House of Flying Daggers was a terrible movie, I seriously wonder what the director/writer was thinking at the end of it...

    didn't Quentin Tarrintino direct Hero?

    pretty sure he had something to do with it

    (Hero was good btw, but i don't like Tarrintino as a person)

    Tarrintino just brought it to the US, he did not direct.
