...before landing on its subject, then skips assuredly from comedy to horror, with a pretty plot twist at the end. It's all prime Pedro. Like Bad Education, House of Flying Daggers marks a relaxation, but not a reduction, for a world-class director. Hero, Zhang's kung fu classic of 2002, was a meditative, superbly color-coded parable of love and death. Daggers is a jauntier piece, as renegade killer femmes do fantastic battle with the 9th century cops who pursue and fall in love with them. The Almodóvar and Zhang films foregrounded a crucial movie element...
...Friends"; in the first scene, Joey gives a long expository spiel about his reasons for moving to L.A. to the cab driver on his ride from the airport (acting auditions, getting close to family).

...Grape--if you didn't love it as a kid, you're not going to acquire the taste as an adult--and the pop-culture gags (like rock star Jet Screamer and his hit Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah) have not aged well. But the animation is still a classic of gee-whiz atomic-age modernism. Most of all, it's touching to look back at the show's optimistic imagined future, in which there's a flying saucer in every garage and even inept button-pusher George Jetson can afford a robot maid and a Food...
