Belly Of The Beast

Good news and bad news---good news for Steven, bad news for me.

The video store owner who ordered my copy of Belly of the Beast has been out sick, and of course the kids filling in have no idea. The eight copies they have were all rented.

Went to the other video store with 5-day rentals. They had eight DVDs and 4 VHS, all rented out.

I'm really glad to see this is apparently doing so well right away, even though there was no advertising.

After working a double shift yesterday, I was looking forward to watching it today. But it works out rather well anyway, because right now I have to watch my alma mater, University of Michigan, win the Rose Bowl before I go to work tonight. Ah, it's a good life. :) Let's go Blue!

Hail! To the victors valiant.
Hail! To the conquering heroes.
Hail! HAIL! To Michigan,
The leaders and the best!

No it wasn't Seagals butt..oh sigh now you ladies won't have to go buy the movie :)

TD and Tora, I am so transparent aren't I?
I just can't hide it, and who wants to, eh?
Silly, Amos...
Yes they will have to, because the love scene is a must watch...
He is so sweet in it, it just gets me all emotional...
And the girls finally get to see some real Seagal style lovin', hehehe...;)
Just seeing those tender kisses made me wish I was her, that's all I have to say...
It's obvious she was very taken with him, and who couldn't be...:)
Omg, he's just tooooo totally charming...
Girls, you will definately love that part, like Heather says, he gets you all stoked up, but what a lovely way to burn...
I watched it again last night, and needless to say it was to hot to sleep after that! ;)
And the best part was he was so protective of her, very tender, and like suzi says, soooooooooo sweet, awwww.....
Sigh...

Oh TD,c'mon,I hunger to see your review here!What are you gonna say?:):):):)
:D

It'll be a while - I can't find a rental copy and I doubt I'll be getting my dvd much before the end of January - unless it goes walkabout the way OFAK did, which would be awful - so you will have to be patient, folks!

-TD, who still has three magazines she has to review, not to mention stories of her own she has to write, and work for money to look for which is most important!

We know what we want

I agree with evey female here. We know what we want and we want Steven with us oh I mean me. Sorry I got carried away. I watched BOTB today and yes I am hot for him again. It's so cool that when I watch him in movies I want to be the leading female in that movie.
We all love you Steven. Stay the way you are.

come get some
Sorry to say this movie sucks big time. I was looking forward to it, too.

the only thing I like about it is the Buddhist stuff and the scenes at the temple, and the river (at the end)

The film didn't suck. I really enjoyed it. The scenery was good. Lots of action. The fight sequences were well done. There were still too many stand- ins in the fight sequences but Seagal did do alot. Had the film makers stuck to straight Aikido and not had Seagal's character doing Kung fu, which Seagal hasn't trained in, Seagal probably would have did more fighting. The fight sequences were well edited. The story, production values and direction were the best he's had in a while. My only concern is Seagal's health. He doesn't look healthy anymore. The weight problem doesn't bother me even though he looked a lot heavier than his other films. His face even appeared to be bloated, But the fact that he looked tired and drained. His face didn't look healthy and in alot of the scenes you could hear him breathing like a horse. He just looks like he is suffering from more than a weight problem. I just hope his health is ok. He should start taking better care of himself since he isn't young anymore. It was a good film though, the best film he has done since Exit Wounds.

Best. Movie. Ever.

BELLY OF THE BEAST gets my highest rating, one million stars. It is by far the finest DTV film Steven Seagal has ever made, and tops many of his theatrically-released films. I enjoyed the large amount of fight scenes, all of which were original, authentic, and seamless. Seagal plays the covert CIA operative perfectly, and his scenes in this film were so much more exciting and action-packed, as well as more meaningful, than his scenes in any recent films.
In my opinion, Belly of the Beast is a huge success already for Mr. Seagal. He has shown that he can still make a GREAT film, even if it is direct-to-video. He has also proved that Thailand is a good setting for shooting a film, and hopefully others will see this and give a boost to Thailand's film industry. Most importantly, Steven showed the world with Belly of the Beast that he can kick as much a** and entertain the public as much as he always could, even more now. Congratulations, Sensei.

The problem was when BOTB was filmed. It was supposed to start in December 2002, when it was cooler, but there were delays. By the time they started working on it in March, the temperature had soared, and they were filming in the hottest temperatures of the year. I'm just grateful he didn't drop dead - Martin Sheen had a heart attack because of the heat when he was filming Apocalypse Now, and he was in much better shape (even with his heavy smoking!) than Steven was during the filming of BOTB.

I have to agree, though, that in the still shots from BOTB and in OFAK, he is not looking well. Bloated, dissipated - too much good living and not enough clean living.
