" The House of flying daggers < traps on 10 sides in Chinese> "----
directed by Yimou Zhang and featuring Ziyi Zhang. Time magazine has
already mentioned this move twice.

Got this DVD set in the San Francisco Chinatown during the recent
Bay Area Lighters hiking event. The story line was based on two cops
and one courtesan in the Tong dynasty ( need I say more). The best
fight scene is in a bordello. This movie is long on special effects
and short on the plot. I prefer " Crunching tiger, hidden dragon".

" Closer" --- a movie about 2 men and 2 women, a rather modern love
story or rather a story of modern relationships. When you see Julia
Robert you'll understand why mature women are incredibly attractive
and seemingly irresistible.

" Ocean's 12"--- while < Flying daggers > has a simple plot, <12> has
a very complex plot and total nonsensical, but a lot of fun to watch.
