Night Watch is supposed to be an absolutely brilliant film, I was thinking of buying it.

Do you know if it's very good?

i have never seen them
thats copy paste like to me

i will say one thing you know your russian theater

Solaris rocks.

"Night watch" is a very good Russian Sci-Fi / Fantasy movie ("Lord of the Rings" meets "Prophecy"). It's been out on DVD for some time, but since Fox bought all American distribution rights, they have mandated to stop making NTSC formatted dvds of it. The disk has been slowly disappearing from even Russian stores in America. And Fox kept postponing the release until limited one next week, while sequel "Day Watch" is already out in Russia. Ain't US movie studios great

i got nightwatch on dvd, its amazing
definately worth buying

Only movie I know is Doctor Zhivago and I have never watched it. Just not interested in it. And not sure if its even Russian.
