The Battle of Red Cliff (part 1 and part 2) is absolutely brilliant. Perfect. To me – it’s as good as it gets. There aren’t many films that I leave with an incredible "WOW" effect, but this one did it … twice.

John Woo did a superb job. It’s been over 2 months since [...]

On my 10th grade I did my Cinmateq subscription and I’ve been a movie addict ever since. For me, there’s nothing like the sensation of watching a film.
