Russian Star Wars

I had to invent a new blog category for this one!  2nd of my 'while i was away' late blog reviews:

CURRENT RATINGS:

ROTTEN: 2/10  2/10

Movie:

Night Watch (2005)

END MOODS/CURRENTS

| Entry | The night before i flew back to HK, we popped in a DVD off of eyeh's Netflix called 'Nightwatch', a Russian supernatural/sci fi type movie. According to wikipedia it is the highest grossing movie in Russia.... 70 years of communism has apparently negatively impacted their ability to judge what is a good movie and what is not... this is NOT a good movie. Once we figured out what was going on (its actually more of a blade/evolution type supernatural movie than real sci fi), it looked like it COULD turnout to be halfway decent. but the end was totally lame. 2/10...

one of the (unintentionally?) funny scenes...

man, I totally agree. We watched it in beijing last year. i was really excited to see it. I can't say that i understand what in the hell it was about. Honestly I tried to watch it 5 times. It was made of some sort of Eastern Block thinking patterns that I can't discern. Just like "Turkish Star Wars" the logic is not human. (you need to see that BTW, worst movie ever. best movie for really drunk people) The sequel "Daywatch" just played in SF down the street...I passed.

third one is rumored to be called 'dusk watch'... the bizarre thing is that since Searchlight pics bought the distribution for the first two, they are going to be helping to make the 3rd one in the US, in ENGLISH!?!

and Dr. Zhivago (the movie, not the book... of course the movie wasn't made in Russia and had no Russian people in it... but Zangief is fake too...)
