I Saw the Devil (2010)





FINALLY got around to watching this movie and... Wow.

To say that I was impressed - To say that my jaw dropped a few times - To say that that held some of the some of the best performances that I've ever seen... All understatements.

As it's been mentioned, part of what makes this movie so incredibly powerful are the intense and gripping performances by Min-sik Choi (absolutely chilling) and Byung-hun Lee (agonizingly biting) - I was particularly impressed with the latter, who shines as the haunted victim, resolute on revenge. His fierce and unblinking demeanor was horrifying as he descends into tragic anti-hero-dom.

In terms of direction, each scene was filmed with deliberate ease. The writing and the story and the ending - oh God the superlative ending - All well done. This tale unravels slowly, with delightfully shocking peaks and climaxes until the pinnacle scene of perfect vengeance... My jaw did truly drop a few times... Great suspense and action interlaced with poetic tragic drama - Definitely an epic Korean Revenge flick, up there with The Vengeance Trilogy, though less playful.

Fantastic film - HIGHLY recommended.

5/5.

If you can find it.
Lesser known Cronenberg movie about a group of people who get off on being in/watching/re-creating car crashes.

Yeah.

Totally weird, creepy, and absurd. Perfect late, late night flick in the dark.

4.69/5

Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles (2011)





Fantastic, engaging, and absolutely intriguing documentary.

Description:

An urban mystery unfurls as one man pieces together the surreal meaning of hundreds of cryptic tiled messages that have been appearing in city streets across the U.S. and South America.

I really liked it - Well-crafted; like watching a mystery unravel. What I also liked about it is that the star, Justin Duerr, is interesting to follow and the director did a good job in tying in his story and history as well.

Definitely recommended - Good little film.

4/5.
