It's such a simple story (accommodatation of the visuals the key - much like so many comics, really) that I think kids would love it. I keep imagining my three year-old nephews emerging from the cinema, Avatar their first experience of the big screen. It'd be magical.<br /><br />I think I probably did catch 'Enter The Dragon' at the wrong time. You see that recent one, 'Ninja Assassin'? Standard-issue stuff, really, but it has it's moments.John Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03985093623253146032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288454546810879684.post-48673712254498073052010-02-21T04:06:30.094-08:002010-02-21T04:06:30.094-08:00I am surprised you didn't like 'Enter the ...I am surprised you didn't like 'Enter the Dragon'. Maybe it needs seeing as a child on late night tv to love it. Its one of my favourite films. <br /><br />Not heard of 'Eamon', I'll avoid it now, and didn't fancy 'The Lovely Bones'. It looks annoying from the trailers. I've not been to the cinema for a month or so, the last film I saw was 'Avatar' which was fancy looking but stupid.rob jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385931084322409233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288454546810879684.post-2535243588131238692010-02-21T03:16:28.970-08:002010-02-21T03:16:28.970-08:00My only experience of 80's Martial Arts movies...My only experience of 80's Martial Arts movies is Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris and Cynthia Rockbrook, and those fight-scene compilations 4-Front Video used to release. I remember being disappointed watching Enter The Dragon for the first time (early nineties) - a film I'd only heard spoken of in hushed tones. It had such a mythology built up around it that I fully expected the viewing to be transcendental. It didn't do it for me.<br /><br />Coincidentally, Friday is my film day, too - at the cinema. Saw Irish flick 'Eamon' and 'The Lovely Bones' - the former a slice-of-life bore, the latter annoyingly woeful. Peter Jackson needs to put the weight back on!John Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03985093623253146032noreply@blogger.com
