Watched Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance last night, having previously watched Oldboy. I'd say Oldboy was the better of the two, though I believe they are part of a "trilogy" (not in story, merely genre and design). I plan to watch the final movie of the three, Lady Vengence.

Though I have to say, I Saw The Devil was the one that got me into the whole Korean movie scene, and it's one of my all time favourite movies.

Can anyone suggest any others of this genre worth watching?
[Off-topic] boborone:
No but thanks for posting these. I can't say that I've ever watched anything Korean besides documentaries.

[Off-topic] MissionImprobable:
About to start watching a bit of it now, and I'll finish in the morning after I get back from the gym, then post a quick review. JGL has been great lately, so I have high hopes. 500 Days of Summer, 50/50, Killshot; expectations are high.

If you guys want to see a pretty crazy twist on Groundhog Day, check out Repeaters. Makes you wonder if you could handle having to live the same day over and over again.

Edit: Went ahead and watched it all. Hesher was pretty crazy. Can't say I was disappointed. Pretty crazy. Some people just have to leave their mark on the world their own way. Might watch it again sometime.

Bicentennial Man (1999)

I personally liked this movie, especially the music by James Horner. Its a feel good music. Even though it was not Robin William's one of his best, it was a fun watch. He did well with the comedy inside a robot.

Rating: 6/10
[Off-topic] Archer:
I just watched 21 Jump Street. It was silly and childish, but immense fun. Probably one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. It's not gonna win any awards for being clever or original, but if you fancy just sitting back and having a laugh at something then it's definitely worth a watch.

The Untouchables (1987)

An epic classic mafia gangster movie. The plot is simply awesome with Tommy guns and grenades, lol. The feel is what the movie is all about. The movie reminded me of a similar PC game called 'Mafia'. Maybe the game is inspired from this movie, as it contained similar situations and plot. In the movie, all characters delivered excellent performances such as Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and Robert De Niro as Al Capone, the mafia crime lord.

Rating: 8/10 (Go for it!)

[Off-topic] boborone:
Watched it last night. Not a great cinematic movie. But it you get past lots of crappy camera work and lots of shots that look like it was done on one take, gorilla style, it's a good movie. Kinda slow, but you will not know what to expect next through the entire movie. Has a pretty good ending, which I was hoping for. Lots of movies in this style have great plots and slow character build up with a ****ty ending. It ended very well. I think you'll like it.

[Off-topic] boborone:
It's got a great story to it. My biggest problem, and you'll see it in the movie cause of your past with music and working with "badasses", Joseph Gordon Lightfoot didn't work on his character very much. He had so many nuances that just seemed forced. And the sound editor was high when he dubbed the sound track (not music, sounds of doors shutting and foot steps and such). Sounds were way off sometimes and how some of it made it into the final cut boggles my mind. And at the beginning the sound has great variables. Lows are real low and highs blast your speakers. But, again, a great story. A good movie for what it is, a movie with a great story in that you can take from it what you will. It doesn't force the lessons on you, makes you think about them. Not one for people who can't think for themselves. Which is why I say I think you'll like it.
[Off-topic] TheSkinnyDrummer:
Dude, you sound like I do when describing movies. Most people don't notice Foley errors, or even camera work and character development for that matter. They look at me funny when I critique a movie on a technical level.

Even more reason to watch this movie!

[Off-topic] boborone:
I like independent movies. It just pains me so much when I see a great story get ruined by a director giving the camera to his 12 yr old daughter, or not having actors work together or on their own to work on their character. Joseph Gordon Lightfoot is a great actor. It just seems like he didn't work on his character or even understand him that much. Just went by the script. Didn't make it his own. Rainn Wilson is known for his dim witted characters, and this is something he can add as a "see, I can do it" to his characters. But, yeah, I can get technical. Like you, most people hate it, too.

The only thing I suggest about watching this movie is for about the first 30 minutes, tell your family you're sorry for the loudness. You WILL have to turn it up to hear alot of the dialogue. And them mumbling with wrapper crinkles in the background almost threw me off with entire movie. I couldn't hear them. Then the next second they yelled and it was blasting my speakers. It gets better. But man, the beginning almost threw me off.

If you ever have any more independent movies for suggestions please post em. I get tired of the cookie cutter big budget movies from the major companies. Thanks for mentioning this one.

The Godfather (1972)

Its one of the greatest classic gangster films of all time. Still holds No.1 position of movies of all time. Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo with one of the greatest scripts. The casting was another excellent blended one. There are no words to explain the acting of Marlon Brando as Don Corleone. All other members of Corleone family delivered excellent performances especially James Caan (Sonny) and Al Pacino (Michael). No doubt to be its must watch.

Rating - a clean 10/10

Downfall (2004)

Downfall is well documented war movie about the last days of Adolf Hitler and as that of Third Reich. It should be a must watch for war movie genre fan. Bruno Ganz who portrayed Adolf Hitler performed so well, all credits goes for his performance. Also, every other characters did well too, no flaws I could find.

Any of you go to a restaurant and eat the food like you watch a movie. I know alot of you are (meaning in a good way cause so am I) snobs about your movie watching.

Went out to a "Fine Mexican Dining", that was on the sign for the place, restaurant tonight. Hole in the wall place with fake everything stuck on the walls. Mismatched fake brick, tiles, and wood everywhere. Look at the menu, only two items above $10. I'm thinking, ok two things going bad here so far. Ask what they have on tap, no Mexican beers and the only one I've heard of is Shock Top and Bud Light. F*** this. Chips and hot sauce come to table. Chips are some bagged brand stuck in the oven for warmth, sauce is watered down tomato paste from the fridge. I order the most expensive thing on the menu, 10.95 for 3 brisket tacos. Menu says brisket and pico de galo, with rice and beans. Get the tacos. After I get done picking all the iceberg lettuce and tomatoes out of my off brand packaged tortillas, I find the brisket is cubed meat that's been sitting in a broth for who knows how long. Rice is bland and dry minute rice that hasn't even been dressed up except for the coloring added to it to make it red and seem Mexican. I get charo beans, which thank god, cause I did not want to find out what their refried beans were like. Those had no flavor and mostly water with bacon and onion. Charo beans they ain't.

But this is where I can see you relating to this whether you're a food snob or not. It's the company that's with you while you're partaking of crap.

The girl I took couldn't believe that I picked the lettuce and tomato off. Was appalled. Said "you got tacos, tacos come with lettuce and tomato." What, since when in the history of Mexican tacos and at a fine Mexican dining are you supposed to get iceberg lettuce on any god dammed thing. I told her, I'm not at Toco Bell, the menu said pico de galo, that's not what I got. She said it's a taco, that's what you should expect, even at Jack in the Box tacos come with lettuce and tomato. Here is where I honestly did the wffareyousmokingcauseIwantsomeofthatsh!t face and orly? all at once.

I could go on, but needless to say, those are two experiences I won't have again. Her or the food. I'm back home and it's only 8:30. Don't you hate watching movies with people who love bad camera work, awful direction, horrible character build up, set design from a middle school play, and they think you're the bad person for not liking it?

Wow, been hearing alot about that on NPR lately. Never heard of it before recently. Now that I see how it's written, reminds me of a porn movie. Carrol's Anus.

Will say though. If a movie gets promoted a lot on NPR, it's safe bet to be something worth seeing. Not necessarily a good movie, but one worth seeing.

Last one I remember being on a few shows was The Boxer. Not a great movie, a good one, but definitely glad I watched it.

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

Just saw you are in India. NPR here is public funded radio. Has lots of news and off the beat stories that you don't hear on broadcast news agencies commercial news. No commercials or underwriters to dictate what side of propaganda they promote. Just facts and stories that are real.

So I generally take their stories and interviews with artists to heart to mean they are worthwhile.
