Snowy Mountains, Yellow Leaves

Go see Hero. Seriously. The movie is completely beautiful, all story and motion and colours. It's a slower pace than the average North American movie, about the same pace as The Princess and the Warrior (Der Krieger und Die Kaiserin, totally recommended if you haven't seen it), with the same beautiful poetic tone. Hero has the most amazing colour I've ever seen in a movie, yellows and reds and greens that just pour off the screen. The movement is beautiful too. Anyway, everyone should see it.

You know what you shouldn't see? Taxi, with Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifah. It's a remake of a French movie, and if you value your time (and speak French), you'll rent the French one instead. Unfortunately, it hasn't come out with subtitles yet, so it's kind of restricted to the French-speaking populace. But it's a great movie. And the American version has completely killed all the good parts of the original.

Anyhow, I'm exhausted . Time for bed for me! 'night all.
