13 Jun 2004 8:12 amPhone Booth, starring Colin Farrell is an intriguing movie. If you think that there can be no interesting storyline revolving a phone booth, think again, as the script-writer of this movie has managed to stretch the story beyond an hour in a most interesting manner, touching on subjects such as infidelity.
It’s an emotional show too, somewhat, and has an interesting message at the end of the show - that you hear a public phone ringing, you know it’s a wrong number but you pick it up anyway - and find that your life (as well as your love ones’) is endangered by a serial killer sniper.
Oh, and camera angles revolved around buildings, the street and the phone booth for the most part of the show, so it’s definitely interesting. Expletive are used freely in this show as well – you’ve been warned. :P
Kill Bill Vol 1 – it’s nice as well, but too much unrealistic violence – blood spilling forth like fountain etc. Japanese accent by main character (Uma Thurman) is horrid, while Lucy Liu’s slightly better (playing an underground Yakuza queen in Japan as a Chinese-Japanese American).
Did I also mention that the subtitles for both DVDs are…terrible? Horrid grammatical mistakes, and they don’t follow the characters’ speech as well - I just had to turn the subtitles off, for once. Bah! But that’s what you get for pirated stuffs done locally >_>
