The SB Film Festival is a few days away...

And I'm getting psyched. There's a whole section dedicated to Asian cult films this year - I'm going to see a couple of them. I'm also planning to see last year's Cannes Film Festival winner, a revenge thriller from South Korea called "Oldboy". (What's the Korean name, anyway?) I've heard it's rather violent, but that's okay, as long as it's not framed as a horror movie. I just can't handle a lot of horror movies - my imagination is just too active and vivid for such things. But I've gotta see this one. There's also a rather bizarre film from Japan with an equally bizarre title: "Survive Style 5+".

Tickets are rather expensive - $10 a pop - but at least these are movies that I would gladly pay such a sum to see. I might get a four-ticket pass - I think it would save me some money in the long run. Generally, I just can't believe that most films nowadays are $9 during prime movie showings... And for such crap! Call me a movie snob, but I just dislike around 95% of the stuff that comes out from Hollywood - I'll go for a foreign film each time, especially those from Asia.
