I'll pick things up on the DVD side (and old!) though I'd love thoughts on Mongol. I've been wanting to see that movie, but don't know if it's worth the money.
I saw that a few weeks ago. I wasn't too impressed with it. The cinematography was great, but nothing else about it really blew me away. I asked my fiance if he were going to write a short review on it what he'd say and he said "en epic drama that inspires to be grander in scale than its parts would merit."
That pretty much sums it up for me. He also said "perhaps several plotholes that are never fully explained and a repetitive narrative that doesn't lend the story any excitement," but I'm not sure I'd take it that far. I'd say it's worth watching, but if I could do it over again, I'd wait for the DVD.
