What film did you watch last night?

[Drago]

I've never seen the dubbed version. But I suppose animated films are a bit of an exception as generally the dub is less of a distraction, for me anyway.

I don't speak Japanese (Mrs D tells me short, stacatto random grunting isn't Japanese) so I had no choice but to watch it in dubbed form. Ah, Kaneda's bike...

Rumours are there's a live action version in the making. Let's hope they do it proper justice.

That's been a rumour for years, I'd be amazed if it actually happens. But Ghost in the Shell did really well, so I suppose there's a chance.

If my experience of dubbed films is anything to go by, that will be awful.

Same as IP Man series for me, really good films but subtitles take your eyes off all the action!.

It probably helps that I've watched loads of subtitled films and TV, so I can weirdly read and watch at the same time.

I get the frustration with them, they are generally a bolted and generic affair, but a film called Night Watch raised the bar:

I've not seen anything like it since. Great film too, and the sequel Day Watch is well worth checking out. I live in hope that the conclusion to the trilogy, Dusk Watch gets made one day.

Looks really good, very well done subtitles not like the usual teletext!.

I bought that this summer to watch if we had nothing else to do, it's still on the shelf and maybe it will stay there ..

Apocalypto, A Mel Gibson film. A bit violant, but a good film.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Interview with a vampire. Enjoyed that.

The books are far, far, far superior to the films plus there’s six of them! By Sergei Lukyanenko.

Lethal Weapon.

I don't know what all the fuss was about. Not actually bad, just not all that exciting. Star of the show was Riggs' Beretta M9.

5/10.
