Here are some films I enjoyed in 2008:<\/p>\n
Our Town – I have never seen a Korean film I didn’t like. This is not surprising since I have only seen about half a dozen Korean films each of which made it onto the Festival or Video Store circle. However, Our Town is truly outstanding. I am in no way fan of crime thrillers which makes it all the more impressive that I enjoyed this film. The plot is somewhat stock with the usual threads of revenge, childhood memories, madness and friendship, however, the script was bulletproof. Every sentence revealed a new twist to the story and kept me on the edge of my seat. Acting and directing were likewise impeccable. Such a meticulously executed film!<\/p>\n
The Band’s Visit was magical. The roller disco scene is my favourite of the year. The Last Mistress and Vicky Christina Barcelona were very good sex and relationship analysis films. <\/p>\n
Outsourced was unapologetically low budget, but it packed punch in the right places. The four main actors were right on the money and the script was sweet. I love romantic comedies, and this was one of more successful romantic comedies I’ve seen in a long time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
