It's on the previous page- and also quoted by Chrono. It's also in the last movie seen thread and the HDC Recommends thread.

Just watched To Kill a Mockingbird. Still a great, great film. Anyone who's into classic filmmaking, check this out.

Backwoods

Really excellent thriller about 2 couples vacationing in the North Basque country in Spain who get caught up in a bad scene. Gary Oldman helps a lot.

Fearnet is also featuring John Carpenter films this month:

The Eyes of Laura Mars
Ghosts of Mars
Escape From New York
Prince of Darkness
and one other...

Days of Darkness

Crazy bizarre zombie no budget wacked out indie flick. Story is all over the place, the acting's not the best, special effects are not special, but there's enough off the wall strangeness to this film to make it so bad it's good.

Usually I hate this kind of thing. This time it won me over.

Give it a look.

Saw it few months ago and as far I remember it was quite successfully able to pissed me off with its very low production value and poor acting!!:D

I'll have to check this out now, thanks for the rec!

...

I just watched Saibogujiman kwenchana (I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK) - Sundance Channel On Demand



It's the new movie from Korean director Chan-wook Park, acclaimed director of Oldboy and the Vengeance Trilogy.

I started a thread about this in the Asian Movie forum, but for a bit of background: The story is about a young woman who is convinced that she is a cyborg and as such is committed to a sanatorium where she refuses to eat (because, as a cyborg, food would "break her"). She meets a young schizophrenic who falls in love with her and does all he can to make her eat.

As expected, the direction was clean, beautiful, whimsical... Park is definitely an experimental and playful director and a visionary.

However, it was definitely slow at times and the ending was a bit drawn out (an issue that I find with a lot of Asian cinema, Oldboy and The Red Shoes included).

The high points: Very much like Lady Vengeance, Park creates vivid characters who make this movie colorful. It's playful and charming, though purposefully muted which took away from its absurdity at times. What it boils down to is a quixotic love story that is absolutely adorable and ultimately awww worthy.

In a way, it's almost like Happiness of the Katakuris (minus the darkness) meets Amalie.

That being said, I'm happy that directors like Park are out there, always experimenting and giving the audience something different. Definitely check this movie out, though I thought it was a bit more flat than I expected it to be (giving the plot, story, and characters).

Well, I tried to watch this and another Sundance On Demand film tonight- only Comcast seems to have lost the channel. It took 20 minutes on hold for a CSR to tell me this.

Chrono- see if you can find Sundance On Demand.


Okay, Sundance Channel On Demand is back- but not the PPV offerings!

I'm a Cyborg is everything Chrono says. A wonderful film.

I find a kindship with other films that deal with madness, like King of Hearts, Marat/Sade & They Might Be Giants.

Really enjoyed this.
