Ah, asian movies, my favorites
Yesterday me and a friend watched something called Phone (Korean I think?), some horror about phones and girls with long black hair. Anyhow, we didn't finish the movie, it really sucked :\

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hachifusan: If you like Hero, you would probably enjoy "House of Flying Daggers" too. They are very alike.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

As for House of Flying Daggers, that movie was alright, a little better than Hero. I'm not really into the romance part I just like to watch the fight choreography.
I actually liked Flying Daggers better, neither of the movies has a great story (in my opinion) but Flying Daggers is plain beautiful, prettier than Hero

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Old Boy was a ride since many tell me it's "oh my gawd its asian SO IT IS GUD" cliched phrase of suck I hear so I told them that I'll watch it. Eventually.

And I did. I must admit I am pleased. Not because of the violence with the hammer but because of the story. Everything seems to patch together.
Oldboy is amazing
Why not try out the movie A Bittersweet Life? It's not about being held prisoner for 15 years, but there are some details in it that makes it feel a bit like Oldboy. Both are great movies.

I'm gonna watch something called A Tale of Two Sisters soon, same director as in A Bittersweet Life (Ji-Woon Kim). I heard it's a very scary psychological horror, just my taste
Any comments on it?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hopefully the hype won't kill it for me.
Taegukgi is a great movie. I thought it was very hollywood-ish, but still a great film.

Yes! It's one of my favorites, it's an amazing story in my opinion.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Though there's a few of those too, and pretty good ones at that. There's one I saw coming a mile away, but it still managed to make me jump when it finally happened.

I've been watching random Asian horror lately, though I haven't seen very many yet. Watched The Eye the other night, which was actually really, really good. Very Sixth Sense-ish, if a bit more depressing at the end.
I read a review on it some time ago, where the guy who wrote it said he was about to give the movie a 4/10 or something, but then he read a little about the movie and lastly saw it one more time. He then understood the movie fully, and gave it a 10/10
In other words, I guess I have to have my eyes open during the movie.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Haha, I just remembered something called "Sicily 2 Kilometers", something korean. It's a appearently a Comedy/Horror (Yes, horror and comedy...). It's not scary at all, but it's seriously HILARIOUS! Anybody wanting a good laugh should check it out

FELIPE NO
