It sure is. Quite a fairytale. :)

I can't wait to see Midnight Meat Train, I may get a Blockbuster membership just to rent it early and then cancel it. (Somebody told me you can rent it at BB now.)

There's A Secret In My Soup. It was pretty good.

fatal contact

Jiu ming also know as koma very interesting hitchcock like film with the suspense i recomend you all watch it.

Whispering Corridors. I little slow and relatively bloodless but still pretty good.

Tokyo Gore Police As I mentioned in the thread I started, fantastic splatterpunk. I highly recommend. A/A+

Kamikaze Girls - Beautifully stylized character journey/chick adventure piece. Gorgeous and interesting with some pretty amazing costumes. Absolutely adorable overall, though it slowed down some in the middle and its latter half. B+

I have FINALLY completed the vengeance trilogy by watching Lady Vengeance last night.

Every movie that I watch by him just punctuates the fact that Chan-wook Park is a cinematic God.

I thought that Lady Vengeance was brilliant - He has an absolute knack for creating truly tragic characters. What was interesting about this installment in the Trilogy is that the character Geum-ja Lee is just as much an instrument/medium for Vengeance as a vengeance-driven individual. I think that Chan-wook Park took an even different look at vengeance and evolved the concept to a new level.

In terms of ranking the movies, I'm having a difficult time doing so; Part of me looks at Mr. Vengeance as being my favorite of the three, though Old Boy is so beautifully tortured and disturbing I can't count it out. As to where Lady Vengeance fits, I would say that its theme is more similar to Mr. Vengeance than Old Boy, but I'm not sure if I'd necessarily rank it higher.

Regardless, Chan-wook Park is one of my absolute favorite directors and Lady Vengeance gets an A+.

Have you guys seen Chan-wook Park's other movies? Any recommendations? The only other one I've seen is "Cut," his installment of Three... Extremes.

I've got to watch the rest of the Vengeance trilogy...I own all three, but for some reason I've only watched Oldboy (which is easily one of my favourite Asian movies).
