Movie review: Kung Fu Hustle and Capote

Can two movies be more different? I think not.


I've heard so much about Kung Fu Hustle. So much critical acclaim! It was pretty weird but I really liked it. I think it's important to realize the style it was going for. That of chinese comic books, which is probably not as well known on these shores as even Japanese anime, which is quite different. The storyline itself is actually very much like The Matrix. Forgivable since the storyline of The Matrix was a cross between Japanese anime and the Bible anyway.

Kung Fu Hustle 7/9



Wow, this sucked wookie. Well, not that bad, but ten minutes in I couldn't wait to get the hell outta there. Very few movies makes me consider sacrificing my money for my sanity. I like the lead actor, but he used this unintelligible "accent", if you can even call it that, throughout the movie. It was like if Jar Jar Binks had a lead in a movie about whatever time period this was set in. That's another thing, I'm so not interested in period pieces. For those interested, its about a journalist writing about two murderers, all the time befriending them as well as manipulating them. Ah, who cares.

Capote 2/11
