Oldboy- Starts off brilliantly, shocking in parts (had to cover my eyes during the teeth pulling scenes), but it never really eventuates into anything spectacular, I thought the potential was wasted by bringing the villain out of the shadows too early in the film and his motivation was quite hackneyed as well. And for a film with the tagline '15 years in prison. 5 days of vengeance.' the hero seems to do very little avenging. 6.5/10
Friday Night Lights- Kinda like Varsity Blues, except not as likeable. I can't believe the movie runs for two hours because with all that screen time you think you could connect with some of the characters, but I wasn't able to find myself caring about any of their personal lives. Enjoyable football action, but too vague. 5/10
Aragami- Last night I stumbled upon this interesting film on World Movies. It was made in a week as a part of a directorial duel between two japanese film-makers. The challenge was to make a movie in that short timespan, featuring a duel between two characters, set in the one location. Pretty simple and predictable plot, but presented quite well. Only runs for 70 mins. Very enjoyable. 7/10
