Like I said, Korea has been putting out some really well made movies in the few years.

Att: Jack and Tosh. That article on Korean film linked by Tosh - tinear 04:54:20 02/24/06 (5)
at "his" mag below is superb. The author obviously knows mucho about Asian film (much less about Am if he thinks Spielberg and Lucas ever were avant-garde) and that article has given me about 25 movies to see now---- damn it! I just hope Netflix has many of them.

  I've seen most of the ones mentioned. Good luck with netflix, they may have some of the movies, but not all. They won't have any of the ones I listed below. IMO, that's more than enough justification to get an all-region player.

    buying the tapes, right?
    I don't like to own stuff.

      No, buy the discs. :-)
      I don't mind owning. It does open up ALOT of possiblities that would be closed otherwise. Most of my import collection never made it to R1, despite having English subtitles. Aren't you the one complaing about the lack of talent in Hollywood? There's talent out there, but the movies don't always make it over here. Finding a US destributor can be a hassle, but things are finally getting better. I suspect you are relatively new to Asian movies, but the choice is yours.
      Not to mention, many of the imported movies are heavily edited by the US distributors. Mirimax is famous for turning imports into jiberish. I was looking at copies of "The Legend of Zu", and saw that the US version has 25 minutes cut out. I'll try to find an import version.
      To each his own.

        I'd not appreciated much before "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... Spring."
