I haven't seen either but I am always a sucker for a good movie ....like anything with Kate Beckinsale for starters

I don't particularly recommend "The Curse of the Yellow Flower" (Zhang Yi-mou's latest kung-fu art flick). Critics are raving on its visuals. But all the flying ninjas were hard to take seriously. I liked Zhang Yimou's earlier people movies, but the stories in his kung fu movies (Hero, House of Flying Daggers, and this one) are usually pretty stretched and the characters are cardboard-ish. By contrast, I liked Ang Li's "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" OK. So, it's not that I'm against kung-fu.

and the last film by Clint Eastwood as director: Flags of our fathers...

Flags of Our Fathers has stirred some controversy here because I guess Eastwood exaggerated or changed details about the soldiers sent on the publicity campaign to make his case stronger.

His newer new movie, Sands of Iwo Jima, sounds interesting. It's the battle for Iwo Jima as seen on the Japanese side. (The battle of Iwo Jima saw some of the hardest fighting for US troops against the Japanese).

Hi Joaquin, good to hear you enjoyed the films.

I have to admit, I am not a big cinema goer, I normally wait until I can enjoy a film in the comfort of my home. I was today wondering though if I will go to the cinema to see the smurfs. I think YES!!!

Me too,me too!!!!!!I think I must wait for more than a year, but I am counting the days: I want to go twice: the first time, alone...and the 2nd one with all my nieces and nephews ( more than 5 years-old, of course)

Sometimes, I prefer the comfort of my home too, but I usually go to the cinema at quiet hours, with 5 or 6 person inside...And feel like home: without shoes!!!!!!!
