Here in Australia we have an entire government run channel that shows foreign films and programs, SBS (Special Broadcasting Station). I don't know much about US TV stations but from the endings of the US documentaries it shows PBS programs sort of stuff, I think. They do their own subtitles in yellow writing which is supposedly the best. When they have programs with their own subtitles in white, people ring up to complain. So most people in Australia are used to reading the subtitles while watching French, or German, or Chinese films etc. As well as the Documentaries and films there is stuff like Lebanese soap opera or Austrian Detective shows (Inspector Rex). On saturday nights they used to have cult movies like italian horror films or Anime, until they sacked the presenter for some reason. In relation to the Anime, his Last name was even Mangan.

Atrocities, I was at Best Buy yesterday, and they had about half-a-dozen of those Returner movies for sale. I was tempted, but I bought the El Mariachi/Desparado 2-pack I missed out on when ONce Upon A Time In Mexico came out. Might buy it next time I"m there.

Re: OT: Recommended Movies
 

Ok, Atrocities, my resistance was futile and I gave in and bought Returner yesterday. didn't have the chance to watch it Last night, but will try to tonight. I'll let you know what I think about it after I see it.

Ok, Atrocities, I started to watch the Returner Last night, but fell asleep halfway through it. Not that it was boring or anything like that, but I have a tendency to do that if I start watching a movie after 10:00 PM (especially if I'm sitting in my recliner like I was Last night). I'll try to watch it again when I have the chance, but I usually have to wait for the missus to be asleep so I can watch the movie in peace. Nothing like getting into a movie and then the wife wants you to do something. From what I saw of it, though, it was definitely interesting.

Returner?
Never heard of it.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Go to the bottom of the post for the semi-review of it. Or go to Best Buy and check it out.

Re: OT: Recommended Movies
 

You bought it? Man Greg, I hope you like the movie, I would hate for you to have forked out hte cash for it and not like it.

(I have like 200 movies I have bought that I wish I had not.)

Net Flix is a better way.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, I bought it and finally watched it Friday night. It was a good movie, and I don't regret buying it. The plot kind of reminded me of The Terminator, without the future leader angle. However, I have to disagree with the ending. The girl just fades away, and later does return, hence the name of the title. I don't buy it. I can see her disappearing as she eradicated her past, but I can't see her disappearing to appear in a future in which she may never have existed in the first place, let alone become some sort of time cop. Or she could have stayed, which would have made more sense. It's still a good movie, though, and I will watch from time to time.

Re: OT: Recommended Movies
 

The ending was the weak part of the movie, and there is no explaining how she could have been there. If it were possible, it was a nice plot twist, but since no known logic can apply to it, it is just a japanese ending.

Re: OT: Recommended Movies
 

Ah! You ruined the ending for me!!!

Ok, I don't really care and I'd probably not watch this movie, but how about a spoiler warning for those that might, eh?
