Favorite movie ever. Great cinematography, enthralling plot, and Oh Dae Su is an amazing character. Also has one of the best fight scenes in history.

Janghwa, Hongryeon (A Tale of Two Sisters) 5.0 Stars
I've seen this about eight times, and it never gets old. More eerie than scary, it has a very different look and feel than most asian horror films, or even horror films in general.

Smilla's Sense of Snow 5.0 Stars
I'm not sure why I love this movie so much, but it's been one of my favorites for years. It has a very interesting "feel" to it, the acting is fantastic, and Smilla is one of my favorite female characters ever.

Three...Extremes (Saam gaang yi) (2005,  R)
Three...Extremes (Saam gaang yi) 3.5 Stars
Box was lovely, but felt somewhat empty.

Dumplings was twisted, but I really enjoyed Bai Ling and I would love to see the feature length version.

Cut was the best of the 3... funny at times, great visuals, and very layered. Pay close attention to the ending of this one, there's more to it than most seem to realize.

These short films aren't meant to be "scary" so if that's what you're expecting, don't bother.

No Country for Old Men 4.5 Stars
Probably the best movie I've seen all year. Great acting, and the tension is so real that I was wringing my hands through the entire thing. Javier Bardem is officially the scariest man alive. The ending is abrupt, but it made sense and once I'd had a second to absorb everything, I didn't mind the way it ended at all.

Adam Sandler should do more quirky films like this... they suit him.

Everyone is so charming in this (well, except Blond Wig Woman... seriously, what was so intriguing about her?), and it's definitely the most accessible of Wong Kar Wai's films. I didn't even mind hearing California Dreamin' 80,000 times.
