:: MOVIE REVIEW ::what i've always liked about Adam Sandler-flicks are that they are what i call "non-commital-movies" ~ ie: no investment of emotions or attachments are neccessary to enjoy/watch them. with that in mind, i've always liked (most) of Sandler's movies (which is ironic, becoz i expect to be "entertained").the basic premise of Click intrigued me so (reason why) and what promises to be

i really wanted to like this movie. i really do. the behind the scenes were encouraging and the anticipation of an Asian/HK comicbook adaptation is too delish to ignore.Dragon Tiger Gate (Lung Fu Mun) is really an individual creature unto itself and should be "judged" and enjoyed for what it is (and not what i hopes to be), IMHOthe good bits:01. sound design gets top honors, for me. you feel each
