[...] I’ve been watching far too many mainstream films again this year – I’ve been lazy and more often than not opted for the easier to digest popcorn [...]

I didn’t get to watch as much movie as I wanted to in 2007. But there’s one movie which I would like to highlight… an Iranian movie…

Roy – I highly recommend Bong Joonho’s previous film The Memories of Murder, if you haven’t seen it yet. Its one of my favourite Korean films of all time. I also liked Hur Jinho’s One Fine Spring Day and Jeong Jae-eun’s Take Care of My Cat, amongst many other outstanding Korean films.

I hope to catch many other old films actually; stuff I never had access to in Singapore as a kid like Pacino’s Serpico, etc. Tsutaya is really helping me out on this.

Harry D – I’ve just ordered the new Bladerunner box and hope to see it very soon too. I’ll probably get flamed for this but I really disliked, on a purely narrative level, 5 Centimeters. Makoto Shinkai is one genius artist but his way of storytelling just isn’t to my taste. I really liked GITS SAC too, and hopefully the Fountain will reach Tokyo soon.

soyuz – Happy new year too ! I can speak Japanese but am not that fantastic. Meryl Streep was absolutely fantastic in The Devil Wears Prada alright.

Ivy – :] I think you are going to have fun discovering all the great anime series and films out there. As for Bourne Ultimatum, watch it as soon as possible ! :p
