I saw it yesterday. Frankly, I wouldn't rank it among the top
movies of this year - but wait! you wrote that on January, so maybe
it was the best because it was the only one! :-)

some plot, and a ridiculous reduction of g to that of the Lunar surface.
Maybe we brazilians are barbarians, but the whole audience laughed
at each flight. And most people laughed when the policeman was
killed with the circular sword thrust into his head.

PS: do half Chinese words have _sh_ sounds? I could even learn
some Chinese... There's an answer, _shu_ [or something like that],
that was rendered as "sure" by the br subtitlers :-)
