Philosophy of a Knife: Well actually I didn't watch it all. I kinda skimmed through it. It definitely was not what I was expecting. Maybe I have to slog my way through the whole 4 hours to fully appreciate it, but from what I did see it looked like a first or second year art student film. Very conceptual and messed up. I don't know if it can really work for four hours or not.
Tokyo Gore Police: I don't think I've laughed so much in my life. The gore is so over the top it just stops being gore and becomes slapstick. The effects are pretty hit and miss though. Some of it is done very well, while some of it is downright terrible. Decent enough movie, but not really something I'll watch again. I love gore, but the comic aspect just takes away from it for me.
JCVD: I had no idea what this was going to be like. It was awesome. Very well done and I will absolutely watch this again. Jean-Claude is great. He really takes a lot of punches at his own expense. There's one self-reflection part that is a bit lengthy and not really necessary, but the rest of the movie totally makes up for it. In no way is this a typical Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. Obviously not a horror movie, but I would highly recommend this one.
