If "make war, not love" is your mantra, this one's for you.
Three epic battles drive "Mongol," a biopic about Genghis Khan. That's a lot of head-hurtling, blood-splatting, spear-soaring,arrow-flying and warrior groaning.
Meanwhile, the sole sex scene is discretely tucked behind a fuzzy curtain.
Russian Director Sergei Bodrov is so considerate. He obviously doesn't want to violate the delicate sensibilities of movie-goers.
The Movie Slut at a rare moment when she's not at the movies.
About Me
- The Movie Slut
- My name is Barbara Nachman and I'm the Movie Slut. A tub of popcorn and a dark theater is all it takes to turn me on. From "Shine" to "Scream," from "Psycho" to "Sicko," from "African Queen" to "Queen Blood," from "Butterfield 8" to "Eight-Legged Monsters," I celebrate them all. My love of film began in high school when I'd sneak downstairs at night to watch "The Late Show" and "The Late Late Show." Now, movies are a religion. The dark theater, the retreat from reality, and often a message to take home. My favorite flicks remind me to seize the moment, to never give up, and to always remember that "Tomorrow is another movie day."
