Because he's a flippin' ninja!



This is dedicated to all those tiny plasticine ninjas that my cousin and I once made just to methodically stab them with dozens of elegant bone swords salvaged from the lunch fish soup. (And to all those ninja movies I had not seen but could vividly visualize by my cousin's narrations.) 

I happened to watch this today. The creators request spreading the word. I'm absolutely delighted to!





P.S.
I don't know how they do it but every time I ponder on something ninja-related, I find out that IO9 has just posted something relevant: like this.

Girl power meets (kicks) whiny reviews



Here's the thing: I absolutely loved the movie "Sucker Punch". I would also like to think that I'm one of those who "got it" the moment i saw it. (Let's just say, the multi-layered puzzle-y, metaphor-y stuff kinda is my thing. And I tend to not dismiss a rising-from-the-ashes heroine just because I can see her panties when she kicks.)
Here's another thing: I semi-regularly check out Movie Bob's reviews and weekly Big Picture musings at the Escapist. And it was his "don't-miss-this-movie-folks" review that got me interested in Sucker Punch in the first place. So, when I saw that this week's (and the next) episode is addressing just that, I felt that I'd like to do my part spreading the word. (Here's his original review as well.)

Aviation meets Estrade

Today's nugget of random wisdom comes from Youtube and goes like this:
"Soviet cinema so owns the slow clap."

Case point:


I haven't watched the movie itself yet, so here's a bit of wild speculation - that blonde dude on the right looks very suspicious. Don't know what's his deal, but I bet there is something up with him.

In fact, let's watch the movie itself and find out. (It has English subtitles and everything.)
