"Red Cliff"?? I am familiar with some of the actors and they do NOT sound like that. The Chinese in this movie is dubbed to insure everyone has the proper Beijing accent. Everyone ends up sounding the same. I mean in Indian movies, the actors don't sing their own songs. Now in China, the actors don't even speak their own parts. How stupid and lame is that?

Bad Lieutenant? Bad Lieutenant? Someone had the nerve enough to name a hipster doofus, appeal to lowest level, modern juvenile writing, corporate construct movie Bad Lieutenant?...I gotta see this one.

The Edge

Are you referring to the first one?

What did I expect from an Almodóvar movie? Certainly, I didn't expect people who bear more than a striking resemblance to American celebrities and politicians. The blind screenwriter, Harry Caine look an awful lot like Kelsey Grammer. And do you want to guess who the billionaire sugar daddy to Penelope Cruz's character look like. That's right. Our very own Mikey, 3rd Term, Bloomberg. I'm not sure what Pedro was high on when he cast those characters.
