TGHS: Lynch Law Classroom. Not really a fan of exploitation flicks, but i still had to check this one out. It was ok i guess, but as said, not really a fan so take this with a grain of salt. Ashe.

Death Note. Reading the jacket on this one made it hard to believe that it would be any good. Instead, it was great. Pretty twisty, great story, and a brilliantly simple ending (the very, very end, that is). Ashe.

ps This forum is beginning to fell like the Omega man.

R-Point. Sort of confusing Korean flick, probably due to translation and cultural reasons. While the premise is creepy, the movie was not all that scary, not that it needed to be. Overall a good watch. Ashe.

Premonition. Pretty descent flick, though the father seems to overact in every stressful scene.

Re-Cycle (Gwai wik). Starts out a little slow, turning into your everyday Asian ghost story, and then Bam!, not so typical. Loved it. Visuals were stunning, and i loved how the ending tied most everything together. The story does sort of try to stuff its main point down your throat, but this does not take away from the story (unless your are uber guilty concerning the point of the story, that is). Ashe.

Well, Chrono will disagree with you on the story, but I loved Re-Cycle.

I just thought it was too heavy-handed. The "resolution" was predictable and cheesy.

However - Quite possibly one of the more beautiful and inventive films I've seen. I think next time I watch it, I'll do so without subtitles and make up my own story. :D

13 Beloved aka 13: Game of Death (2006)

A Thai thriller about a salesman named Phuchit who receives a phone call on the same day he loses his job at a music center. The man on the line gives him a strange offer: complete 13 different tasks and win 100 million Baht. Chit agrees to take part in this 'game' and his missions commence. . . ranging from the trivial (swatting a fly) to the unthinkable & most disgusting..:mad: ...you'll see! The biggest catch: He must complete ALL the tasks. . . or lose all the money!

Tasks were weird but overall, it was a time passing 'okay' entertainer with a bit disappointing ending.

>>: B-
