OLDbOY 2003

This afternoon I watched OLDBOY, a Korean revenge thriller directed by Park Chan-wook adapted from a Japanese manga of the same name written by Nobuaki Minegishi and Garon Tsuchiya.

I was mesmerized by the movie.

It rips part the soul and plunges deep into the heart.

Nothing is spared in the search for the truth.

OLDBOY won the Grand Prix at Cannes.

I give it five *****

Ten Years Ago

Ten years ago GW Bush green-lighted Operation Iraqi Freedom. This morning ABC or NBC made no mention of 'shock and awe. Of course Saddam had asked for a billion dollars from Bush and Cheney to leave Iraq without a fight. They refused his request. Cheney quoted $55 billion for the war. $2 trillion later he still can't count on his fingers.

Good morning, America.
