Memento (2000)

Sunday, March 31st, 2002

A backwards murder thriller by Christopher Nolan. It starts out with the “victim” getting his revenge. The “victim” being Guy Pearce (as Leonard Shelby), a man with no short term memory; He can not make any new memories since the murder of his wife. And thus we follow Leonard backwards in time as we find out what led to these events. An excellent thriller. 4/5.

Bichunmoo (2000)

Saturday, March 30th, 2002

A sweeping tragedy from ancient Korea. Beautifully brought to the silver screen by Kim Young-jun it tells the story of the love that couldn\’t be between the lowly Jinha (Shin Hyun-june) and the concubines daughter Sullie (Kim Hee-sun). It\’s more action oriented than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and more \”modern\”, mixing techno and rock music into the soundtrack and having tighter editing and even more fantasy aspects. Very good, 4/5.

Frank Miller Library

Thursday, March 28th, 2002

If you are looking for the Frank Miller Library, it’s still here :-) Unfortunately I’m designing a new version (with lots of images, and a search function), and it may take a while to move all the data over. I’ve begun scanning covers for the new site, and have “sort-of” copied all the data from the old site, so I have closed the old site. So, please use the New site…

Speeding bullets

Thursday, March 21st, 2002

Speeding bullets will also have a redesign, though it will go slower than the Frank Miller Library. Look for news here, and in the meantime enjoy the old archive.

A Storm of Swords

Tuesday, March 19th, 2002

The third installment of George R.R. Martins “A Song Ice and Fire” series. This is great, it captivates and urges one to read it through. Martins writing is very good, and makes you care for and understand the most cruel and vile characters. This book is full of intrigue, mystery and action from page to page, chapter to chapter and from beginning to end. With nearly a 1000 pages to it, I zoomed through it like it was just another comic book – it grabs hold and won’t let go! Readily recommended for anyone enjoying a good book, and especially for fans of Fantasy literature. 5/5!
