Last two movies! Well, the last two I plan to see on the big screen anyway. I probably will rent Butterfly Effect 3 when it comes out, because it's getting pretty good reviews, and I'm a Horrorfest completist. Sad, isn't it

I should bug him to put a list up. He'd probably say it would cut into his movie-watching time.
I can watch some of the stuff, but I can't OD on it. I would have to give an enthusiastic thumbs-up to Old Boy but I don't know that I can ever watch it again. I'm such a wuss.
Oldboy is one of my favorite movies. I also really liked "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance," from the same trilogy. I totally lost sympathy for the heroine of "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance" when she shot a puppy. I know, I'M a sick puppy. I can watch a zillion people get shot, but one little puppy and I'm crying like a little girl.
Anyway.
Did you hear that there's going to be an American remake of Oldboy starring Will Smith? ACK! Don't get me wrong, I love Will Smith. He's an excellent actor (I loved Hancock) and a stone cutie. But you KNOW they're just going to turn it into a standard action film, instead of the wave of weirdness the original is. And do you REALLY think they'll go there with his daughter? I don't. American directors don't have the nerve, at least not in mainstream movies.
You know, that actually wouldn't surprise me. Horrify me, yes. Surprise me, no.
Gah is right.
They're also working on an American remake of "Let The Right One In." The Swedish film is PERFECT. I can't imagine why anyone thinks it can be improved on.

Sadly enough, it's about two years out of date. I've seen a TON of movies I need to add. Okay you just motivated me!
Does Gary have a list somewhere? Sounds like we have very similar taste in movies! Most of which would horrify my poor Daniel. Heh.

Then he'll do "The Cold Equations."
