pretty action and not-pretty action

Appurushîdo, with many Japanese voices, because I refuse to listen to the English voice-track. Wait, hang on, I'm still giggling at remembering them saying the title during the movie....Appuuurushiiiido. Ahem. Okay, I'm done. From the start, there's gorgeous, original action sequences, with a pretty rocking techno soundtrack. The setting seems interesting, though I wish they would have expanded it a little more; not because the story needed it, I don't think, but just because I was left wondering what the rest of the world besides the one city was like. There's a full bevy of science-fiction concepts to think about (I suddenly wonder how much a bevy is), but that doesn't save a kind of oddly paced plot and and stumbly ending. If you need some eye-candy action, it's cool, though. Heh, apuuruushiido.
-oh, I guess I should note, that's an Engrishing of 'appleseed'

Platoon, with Willem Dafoe and Charlie Sheen. Platoon is famous, and with reason - it's a damn good movie. Just not a happy one. I can't really point to any flaws in it on a first viewing, but I'll just note a random trivial thing (or maybe not trivial?) - did anyone else notice any homoerotic undertones in the underground-smoking-scene? Actually, wait, I will note that reading a book on alleviating depression, with all its positive and idealistic aspects, is quite an odd contrast to watching this movie - that is, I couldn't fathom how the poor soldiers could be helped, in the midst of the situations they were in. Except, perhaps, in Dafoe's character, who maintained some level of compassion and idealism, somehow.
