Intro: Dark tower and Oldboy movies; Focus: True Grit and Due Date; Email; Next time: Spirited Away, Red Riding Hood; Upcoming: All three new Star Wars Movies.
I know I've banged on about South Korean cinema before, but I really think you should try and catch "Oldboy". There are some fantastic films coming out of there (in numerous genres) that leave Hollywood's efforts spluttering at their own inadequacies. The South Korean movie industry is very good at making movies that tear you from one emotion to another, leaving you reeling at the end and asking yourself "What the Hell did I just watch?"
For a start, I recommend "Oldboy" (natch)"The Chaser", "Sympathy for Mr Vengeance", "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance", "Memories of Murder" and "The Host".
You may not like them all, but I'm pretty sure you'll be left with the feeling you've just watched something astounding.
Steve is absolutely right about "Senna", it's a fantastic documentary. Of course, if you'd have read my facebook post on the 6 June YOU'D HAVE ALREADY KNOWN THIS!
As for the three terrible Star Wars films, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
