I love anything Asian Extreme but ESP Old Boy:

An average man is kidnapped and imprisoned in a shabby cell for 15 years without explanation. He then is released, equipped with money, a cellphone and expensive clothes. As he strives to explain his imprisonment and get his revenge, he soon finds out that not only his kidnapper has still plans for him, but that those plans will serve as the even worse finale to 15 years of imprisonment. Written by Jacksrevenge

On the day of his daughter's birthday, Ho Dae-su (Min-sik Choi) gets completely drunk and is arrested. His best friend No Joo-hwan (Dae-han Ji) releases him from the police station, and while calling home from a phone booth, Dae-su vanishes. Indeed he has been abducted and imprisoned in a room for fifteen years. One day, he is suddenly released, receives clothes, money and a cellular and meets the Japanese chef Mido (Hye-jeong Kang), and they feel a great attraction for each other. However, Dae-su seeks for his captor and the reason of his long imprisonment. While looking for revenge, Dae-su discloses deep secrets from the past.

Anyone looking forward to Harry Potter?





I am.

 

[tasha41]

And Angels & Demons.. I'm hoping they don't do a really bad job on it like they did on DaVinci code.. I am not a fan of Tom Hanks at all (aside from You've Got Mail)... Angels & Demons was a much better book.. hoping the same will be true about the movie!!

 

[Eiroze]

Looking forward to both of those Tasha - There are some really amazing films coming out this year =P

 

[nataliecn]

I looove movies!

I'm looking forward to Angels and Demons and also wanna see xmen and harry potter..

Some of the new ones that are pretty decent are: Knowing, Mall cop and The haunting in connecticut, bit of a confusing film though,

Monsters vs aliens 3d is a great film.

Wouldn't bother with the international, or duplicity.. there both crap films.

Crank 2 isn't what it's made up to be, bored me a fair bit..

Race to witch mountain was crap, fell asleep during that

The uninvited was rather good, confused me though so it's a 'need to watch again film'

Twilight, i don't see the big fascination with this film yet still seem to watch it over and over lol

transporter 3 is pretty good and also the quantum of solace

Man... I can't wait to see Race to Witch Mountain.. I have this minor.. okay MAJOR obsession with The Rock.. he's freaking sexxyyyyy! LOL.

I have the uninvited here, but I keep struggling to get into it.. I gradually get a little farther in the movie each time I watch, but I can't sit there long enough.

Twilight - I definitely agree 110% with what you said. It took me until about a week ago to finally give in and watch it and that was merely because of all the hype. And after watching it I just said "meh, it's alright.. no idea why everyone is obsessed"... and yet, i've watched it about 6 times since...LOL. Especially if it's a rainy day. Puts me in the Twilight mood! HAH!

Annnnd.. I LOVE Jason Statham. And really liked Transporter!

Twilight, i don't see the big fascination with this film yet still seem to watch it over and over lol

Same with me - I haven't read the books, stirred clear of the mass hysteria but decided last week that if so many people like it, it might be a decent film and not just hype - and since then I haven't turned it off!

Maybe there's subliminal messaging in the scenes =P

 

[xJG30]

I've not read the books either so maybe that's why we're not obsessed?

Jason statham is gorgeous although his body's not all that in transporter

 

[tasha41]

Bolt was cute?? lol.

Did anyone have a hard time getting into Frost/Nixon & Milk? I don't know if they were just boring or if Elyse was just being sucky & keeping me from them...

I love those ones too!!!!!!

Have you read the Harry Potter books? Or just seen the first movie? Honestly, I am a die hard fan... BUT - I can say, the first one wasn't all that good, more in the sense the kids acting wasn't really all that great. They're MUCH better now. Just my defense. hahaha!

 

[bigbloomerz]

Lol, have tried to like it, honest! Im just not into Magic and wizardry, I find some Fantasy films a bit hard to follow, I fell asleep watching the first Lord of the Rings! lol x

 

[nataliecn]

hahah seriously? I loved those ones too! But I couldn't get into the books no matter how hard I tried (LOTR)
