Well here you have it folks, Episode III of As You Watch, a podcast I run with Joe from Two Dude Review, Vern from The Vern's Videovangaurd, and Bubba from Flights, Tights, and Movie Nights. This episode we discuss the South Korean film, I Saw the Devil as well as the theatrical and DVD releases for this week. Each episode we also focus on three of our top "fill-in-the-blank" movies, and this week we talk about our three favorite revenge flicks. And as always, we wrap everything up with our Battle of the Wits, a little game we play to decide on what to watch next.

Glad there's someone else loving this movie as much. More people need to see it!
DeleteI am surprised by the lack of Asian Revenge flicks in your lists? none of the vengeance trilogy made it on anyone's list.. Even stuff Like the Skin I live in from last year...
ReplyDeleteThis is my Top 5..
5.Dog Bite Dog
4.The Skin I Live In
3.Audition
2.Oldboy
1.Irreversible
good shout by someone sry still getting used to the voices... The Count of Monte Cristo..
I was thinking of listing Oldboy (as it's totally deserving of the list) but I didn't want to talk about it as it's somewhat similar to I Saw the Devil. Otherwise, it totally would have been on my list. Audition was close behind as well. Vern did mention Irreversible.
DeleteI cant remember if you had seen it our not but you really should...
DeleteIts not something I will watch again any time soon, but it is a must watch...
I am alittle disappointed you chose to do an episode in lou because would like you to run a mail bag type section everyweek?
A little confused at what you mean by the mail bag feature.
DeleteAnd yes, I have seen (and own) Audition. Great, great movie.
I Saw the Devil should be unwatchable by virtue of its inherent ugliness, but damn does Kim know how to compose a shot and build an emotional core. I even gave a flicker of a damn about Kyung-chul at the end, and felt disgusted at myself (which I suspect is part of the point). Glad to see the film get more love!
ReplyDeleteYeah. At it's heart, you think... oh God it's so violent and wrong. But the way it's filmed is amazing and makes it worthwhile.
