Oldboy – A Must See (Korean 2003)
Oldboy is a modern Korean take on the classic Count of Monte Cristo, and it does the classic justice. If you haven’t heard of or seen this movie yet, don’t feel bad. Somehow I did back in 2006 and my […]
Steve McQueen – an ode to.. The Actor

Clint Eastwood – an ode to.. The Actor/Director
The Ultimate Renaissance Man of Film. Say the name Clint Eastwood to film fans and many will immediately think of his uber macho, super tough screen personas in the famous spaghetti westerns of the 60′s and early 70′s and of […]

Night Watch (Nochnoy Dozor) A Must See (2004)
Nightwatch isn’t a movie you would take a first date too, or even a third date. That is, unless you were really trying not to get laid. Even now, with vampires and everything about them being so damn popular (Robert […]
