The Last Movie You Watched

Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance (Boksuneun Naui Geot)



I originally became interested because I happened upon a delightful image of Yeong-ae Lee from Lady Vengeance, but on reading up on the film, discovered that it was the third film in director Chan-wook Park's Vengeance trilogy. So I decided to look into the first movie in the trilogy, and after noting that Doona Bae was in it, watching it became inescapable. (I'm a fan of Doona Bae, and, though I didn't know prior to watching it that he was in it, I also love Kong-ho Song, who plays a leading role in the film.)


(I watch a lot of Korean drama and cinema these days.)

I cannot recall if I ever saw the original, 1981, version.

The original Evil Dead is worth a watch. I haven't seen the remake yet, because I'd heard discouraging things about it. There's also a short, "pilot" that Bruce and friends made in order to sell the backers on their movie, which I have, but haven't watched. My personal opinion, shared by many, but not all, is that Evil Dead 3, aka Army Of Darkness, is the pinnacle of the series. However, as noted, Dead 3 is skewed toward a specific segment of the horror audience. (I have the Blu-ray. nom nom nom nom)

Oops, wrong thread. Last movie I saw might have been the Django Unchained. It was alright.

I watched V/H/S. It had an interesting premise which it failed to capitalize on and ultimately used as an excuse to string several shorts together as one movie.

I give it a 5/10.

A brilliant surgeon, Dr. Génessier, helped by his assistant Louise, kidnaps nice young women. He removes their faces and tries to graft them onto the head on his beloved daughter Christiane, whose face has been entirely spoiled in a car crash. All the experiments fail, and the victims die, but Génessier keeps trying.

As a horror fan, I decided to watch some older classics. This was one of them, a much better film than Eraserhead, which I also watched and thought was a plain stupid movie.

So, it was terrible?

Hansel and Gretel, a film set in Eastern Europe in the 1800s and yet peopled exclusively by modern day Americans.

Last film I saw was Iron Man III, which was pretty disappointing even before the ridiculously large plot hole created by the final scenes.
