The credits of Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon appear to be full of production art for completely different movies (presumably the further advetures of Di Renjie). I rather want to watch them.

The movie was, for the most part, a well-done schlocky cheesy B movie that occasionally remembered that it was supposed to be in 3D and would randomly throw things directly at the camera. Its main fault was that it was too. damn. long. 2 hours and 13 minutes and I spent the last 25 or so minutes wondering if it was over yet. Also, you could tell when the CGI budget started to run out so the special effects got cheesier and cheesier.

Right.

So Amazon's habit of bundling reviews from several different versions of a property together and displaying them for each one is not helping me any at the moment. There's one review of the Rurouni Kenshion live-action movie which says it's a fake version of the movie (i.e., someone's making bootleg discs). But WHICH VERSION IS HE TALKING ABOUT? It says "Format: DVD" but the review says it plays in his Blu-ray player...but I'm pretty sure quiate a lot, if not all, Blu-ray players play DVDs, so that doesn't tell me anything. ARGH.

I'm most of the way to talking myself into getting the version sold over on Amazon.co.uk, which looks at least somewhat legit.
