Winner of the Grand Prix de Jury in Cannes, "Oldboy" is Park's today most complex and cruel film. Where all his films study cause and effect, "Oldboy" is a Kafka-ian ping pong game.

Adapted from Tezuka Osamu's popular manga, Dororo is a rollicking period adventure for all ages. A blockbuster success in Japan, with not just one but two sequels already in the works, Dororo features the idol pairing of Tsumabuki Satoshi and Shibasaki Kou as storied demon hunters Hyakkimaru and Dororo.

My favorite j-dorama actor, who also stars in japanese movies. One of his last works in success movie Dororo was amazing, and now Tsukigami is coming.

Squidoo lens about The Host - Korean monster film taking over the whole world, a hit on the festival circuit for almost a year now, premiering at Cannes last summer, and is actually the most successful South Korean film of all time.

"Birds of a feather fight each other"
Based on Takahashi Hiroshi's bestselling manga Crows, Crows Zero takes Miike to familiar territory - high school gang violence - and he cuts through the subject matter at high-octane speed for a stylized, action-packed, and entertaining schoolyard brawl of a movie.

Director Hirokazu Koreeda (Nobody Knows, After life) subverts the samurai film genre with Hana Yori mo Naho (a.k.a. Hana). He turns the popularly held conventions of the typical samurai evenge tale on their head with this story of a man whose quest to avenge the death of his father gradually takes a back seat to his emerging role as a key figure in the community.

Remake of classic Sergio Corbucci's spaghetti western Django (1966). A crazy offering even by Miike standards, the deliriously entertaining Sukiyaki Western - Django had camp cult classic stamped all over it from day one, and the cast and crew deliver with straight-faced, winking exuberance.

A story of an undercover cop who infiltrates a crime gang, and a police mole secretly working for the same gang.

A challenge of a new genre: an "Oriental Western".

Set in Manchuria in 1930s, the story deals with three Korean men and their entanglement with the Japanese army, Chinese and Russian bandits, accompanied with many exciting action scenes.

J R R Tolkien is seen as being the father of fantasy and to any true fantasy fan Lord of the Rings is required reading. That being said it doesn't necessarily mean it is the best fantasy story out there. The Hobbit was a fast paced story with something new happening in every chapter. After Tolkien wrote the Hobbit he moved into more adventureous territory and made the follow up a trilogy. The follow up was a lot slower than the original and harder to follow. To me Tolkien had left his original format and tried to create a literary epic, he did of course succeed, but no matter how I tried to like Lord of the Rings I never could. The constant singing/poetry in the book was completely unnecessary and did nothing to enhance the story, in fact it detracted from it. The story also has too many wasted plot elements, it is a good story but it definitely ain't God's gift to fantasy like some Lord of the Rings followers seem to think. And what's with the wizard that uses a sword instead of magic and an all powerful ring that all it seems to do is make the wearer invisible?

Lord of the Rings has now become a total product range. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance however was designed as a total product range. Dragonlance was designed as a side product of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. The book trilogy was designed to back up the new Dragonlance role playing game and because of that the group of friends in Dragonlance were on the lines of the Dungeons and Dragons scenarios each having their own traits, their own strengths and weaknesses and from a range of species (human, half-elf, kender and dwarf).
