13 Tzameti 2005, Unrated)
wow, i had no expectations and was floored by the end. the cinematography is simple and beautiful in black in white and definitely throwback style but the story and acting are what make this a 5-star. |

the natural landscape works perfectly with the story. the monk is played by kim ki duk when he returns to the temple for the third time. he's a damn good actor too! |

3-Iron (Bin-jip) (Empty Houses) 2004, R)
kim ki duk has the minimalist style locked down tight and 3-iron is another great example of how a low budget movie with barely any dialogue and an oddball story can express more than 5 blockbusters combined. loved it. |

Stay 2005, R)
strong angular theme going on here.. tons of perpendicular and parallel lines in almost every shot. and with the motion of the camera it gets real vector-y . the plot was so-so. this is a very pretty movie. |
