If you are going to watch the movie, just go ahead and watch the long one..just split it up over two nights or something.Lagomorph Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385231158384929598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-56329309893556496582010-05-11T17:22:07.148-05:002010-05-11T17:22:07.148-05:00I don't do subtitles very well, so I avoid fil...I don't do subtitles very well, so I avoid films in that format. I wind up reading the text at the bottom of the screen and I don't see the film. My wife will say "Wow, did you see that?" and I answer "See what?

That location has long been a Starbucks. Anyway, I remember liking the film but not thinking it was anything special. Then again, that's pretty much what I thought of Titanic, and it was a huge hit. So what do I know?Richard R.http://brokenbullhorn.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-26830399510456724492010-05-11T12:31:48.164-05:002010-05-11T12:31:48.164-05:00James, have you watched the John Woo movie Red Cli...James, have you watched the John Woo movie <i>Red Cliff</i> yet? It just came out last year. <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Cliff_%28film%29<br /><br />On DVD, either via purchase or NetFlix, there are two versions. The international version is in 2 parts and runs upwards of 5 hours. The one released to the USA was pared down to one 2 hour movie. I LOVED it, very epic (if you don't mind subtitles). I bought the international version for myself for my birthday but haven't watched it yet.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070278104646895235noreply@blogger.com
