As long as Wal-Mart has no say about the content or types of movies
available on Netflix I have no real problems with the merger.
Glad to see the group up and running.

The South African media portrayal of Nigerians and other West African
immigrants is pretty brutal at times. They are frequently portrayed as drug
dealers or carpetbagging oppurtunists.

Oldboy is one of the best movies I've seen this decade. I bought the South
Korean special edition way back when and I plan to buy the Tartan dvd and use
it as a lending copy.
Whatever you do don't read any spoilers before seeing the movie. It's one of
the best first time movie going experience
BTW I highly recommend the other two movies in the Vengeance Trilogy, Sympathy
For Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance. They all have something epic about them
and it's great to see Chan Wook Park's growth as a filmmaker.
I really suggest watching them in order if you have a chance. They all stand
Jackie Brown is a much more restrained and adult movie than Pulp Fiction.
Samuel L. Jackson's performance from that one is highly underrated.

Good luck and please keep us updated as much as possible. You're in our

One my favorite things about the movie is Park's visual style. It's a
beautiful piece of pop art. The set design, camerawork and subtle visual
effects like the halo shot are eyepopping.
It's the weakest of the three films but it's very good. The way she gets her
revenge has to be seen to be b

Eliza is pretty enough but she is a bit lightweight in the acting department.
My picks:
Rosario Dawson. Nuff said.
Maggie Q. She was in Mission Impossible 3, Live Free or Die Hard and a ton of

solid acting and actio

Nope. Fox still owns Toby and the Spider-Man film franchise.
One silver lining: Part of the deal involves possible Marvel-Pixar

It's flashier but I think Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance is the better movie. I
love the fact that it plays out like a Greek tradgedy. The main characters were
good people driven to committing heinous acts that were preventable. They each
have a point where if they turned left instead of right none

I watched the preview online and was underwhelmed but seeing the trailer on the
big screen was quite an eye opener. The detail, color and scope play much
better at the movies. I just hope the story isn't as trite as Cameron's

Zombie's The Devil's Rejects is a nasty and damned good modern take on the 70s

his reboots...not so much.

Both have their uses. The fast Dawn of the Dead '04 variety are terrifying but
the Return of the Living Dead versions were worse because they were fast and
