That movie was awsome. You really couldn't label that movie with any particular genre. It had it all.

Jet Li's older movies. Legend of the Tai Chi Master, Once Upon a Time in China, The Enforcer, Fist of Legend, Legend of the Swordsman, The Defender and Legend of Shaolin. If you like Kung Fu movies, you'll love his older stuff.

I enjoy Jet Li's movies, but I'm not a big fan of Wire-Fu. I much prefer Jackie Chan's Hong Kong work to Jet Li's.

I guessing I may find some objectors, but I think "Dogma" was a great film. However, it really requires that you have a sense of humor about yourself as a religous person. I was laughing from beginning to end personally.

I hated "Dogma." I really enjoy all of Kevin Smith's other films, but I didn't find "Dogma" funny at all. It just seemed like he was trying to throw in all of his views on stuff and not trying to be funny. I really didn't like it.

The count of Monte Cristo is one of my all time favorite movies.

Two movies made by the same guy that are great(cant remember the guys name) Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away

I thought Count of Monte Cristo was kind of bland. It wasn't bad, I certainly enjoyed it. Until he was in the prison the story seemed real detached. Like I was watching it, but I didn't care about what was going on. Stuff was just happening. Once we got to prison I started to feel connected to the movie, but I never really got into it. I liked it, but not as much as I should have. I saw it at the dollar theatre. It was well worth what I payed. Matana price would have been okay too, but not full nighttime price. That'd be too much.

btw. Apperently Guilermo Del Toro has wanted to and is planing on doing a remake of The Count of Monte Cristo set in the old west and featuring vampires. There was something about someone with a golden arm too. It sounded real stupid.
