What can I say about this movie… The scenery was amazing but the story… a bit weird. I would rename this movie, “People Dying Everywhere and Family Hijinx”. I must say though, Chinese CGI is pretty good. So whats this movie about…

China, Later Tang Dynasty, 10th Century. On the eve of the Chong Yang Festival, golden flowers fill the Imperial Palace. The Emperor (Chow Yun Fat) returns unexpectedly with his second son, Prince Jai (Jay Chou). His pretext is to celebrate the holiday with his family, but given the chilled relations between the Emperor and the ailing Empress (Gong Li), this seems disingenuous. For many years, the Empress and Crown Prince Wan (Liu Ye), her stepson, have had an illicit liaison. Feeling trapped, Prince Wan dreams of escaping the palace with his secret love Chan (Li Man), the Imperial Doctor’s daughter. Meanwhile, Prince Jai, the faithful son, grows worried over the Empress’s health and her obsession with golden chrysanthemums. Could she be headed down an ominous path? The Emperor harbors equally clandestine plans; the Imperial Doctor (Ni Dahong) is the only one privy to his machinations. When the Emperor senses a looming threat, he relocates the doctor’s family from the Palace to a remote area. While they are en route, mysterious assassins attack them. Chan and her mother, Jiang Shi (Chen Jin) are forced back to the palace. Their return sets off a tumultuous sequence of dark surprises. Amid the glamour and grandeur of the festival, ugly secrets are revealed. As the Imperial Family continues its elaborate charade in a palatial setting, thousands of golden armored warriors charge the palace. Who is behind this brutal rebellion? Where do Prince Jai’s loyalties lie? Between love and desire, is there a final winner? Against a moonlit night, thousands of chrysanthemum blossoms are trampled as blood spills across the Imperial Palace.

Now my interpretation… People dying, family secrets, ninjas and a lame ending. The only saving graces are the costumes, scenery and ninjas. The use of colors and textures were pretty amazing. I would recommend the Indian movie, Devdas, which is similar in costumes and scenery, plus you have a real hot Indian chick as the lead, I dont know how to spell her name.

I finally saw the movie Pan’s Labyrinth, a movie that people were saying was good. This movie’s name should have been called “Little Bitch Keeps Effing Sheeyit Up”. What’s this shitty story about you may be wondering,

it is set in 1940s Spain against the postwar repression of Franco’s Spain, a fairy tale that centers on Ofelia, a lonely and dreamy child living with her mother and adoptive father, who is a military officer tasked with ‘ridding the area’ of rebels. In her loneliness, Ofelia creates a world filled with fantastical creatures and secret destinies. With Fascism at its height, Ofelia must come to terms with her world through a fable of her own creation.

Now my interpretation: Little cunt is a book worm and a fantasy nerd. Her mother was knocked up by her jerk off of a step dad who is the captain an army fighting rebels. People die, weird creatures pop up and Ofelia keeps effing sheeyit up along the way. Everything is gay. The End.

Wutta waste of 90 minutes. Besides this shitty movie [ Life.Iz.Good ]
