Hated it. Completely. I think I've never been a great fan of Ang Lee's work, but I found this movie utterly pointless. That is unless you measure a film's quality for the amount ot torrid sex scenes between asians it has.
While watching it I realized that I still haven't seen any good movie about undercover agents or spies. Oddly enough movies never seem to delve enough in the undercover agent's psychology. Instead they prefer to approach him/her from an external point of view, and deal with his actions more that than with his motivations. Skipping the most interesting part of all.
Dexter Season 1
Pretty much the opposite. The best serial killer story I've had the pleasure of watching ever (well, perhaps the Red Dragon comes a close second). Deep, new, refreshing and bloody. I really liked the way the show portrays the mind of a psycho.
Californication:
A brilliant Fox Mulder, I mean David Duchovny, in another unforgettable role. In the beginning it appears to be simply a story about sex, but instead it's a beautiful tale of love, growing up and loss.
I seem to be running out of shows. Fortunately the last season of the Wire has just started, and I still have a whole season of Dexter to watch. Life's good. Even if the grey rabbit-man says that the world will end in just 24 days :-D.
