Closed Captioned; Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; English Subtitles It would be a sin to reveal too much about this riveting and bizarre thriller from Korean director Chan Wook Park, except to say that it's about a man named Dae-Su (Choi Min-Sik) who is locked in a hotel room for 15 years without knowing his captor's motives. When he is finally released, Dae Su finds himself still trapped in a web of conspiracy and strangeness. His own quest for vengeance becomes tied in with romance when he falls for an attractive sushi chef (Gang Hye-Jung), who feeds him live octopus and who may or may not be involved with the bizarre mystery. This is all served up in a striking palette of purples and dark reds; oozing with post-neo-noir style, and stuffed with insanely malicious twists and turns. Choi Min-Sik is terrific in the lead, counterbalancing over-the-top hysterics with deadpan cool to run the gamut of Asian antihero traits. There are intense fight scenes (Dae Su's favorite weapon is a hammer), look-away moments of torture and self-mutilation, sex, and gallons of black humor. Not for the squeamish, but for those seeking something wholly original and daring, this cinematic entree is alive--it's hard to imagine a better slice of psycho-shock sensationalism. THEATRICAL RELEASE: MARCH 25, 2005 (LIMITED)
OLDBOY is based on a Japanese manga of the same name. Oldboy Reviews: "The brio and glee that Koran bad-boy filmmaker Park Chanwook brings to the gaudy psycho-shockeroo OLDBOY is undeniable, even impressive."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly "OLDBOY ventures to emotional extremes, but not without reason."-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "[With] rigorously inventive direction and an emotional undertow that builds to a startling level of intensity."
-- Matthew Leyland, Sight and Sound "[A]n explosively exciting psychosexual revenge drama from Korean powerhouse Park Chanwook that makes movies feel alive again."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "Park Chan-Wook is a tremendous craftsman....He ratchets up the sadistic suspense in a variety of fruit flavors."
-- Premiere Staff, Premiere "Park's direction is bristlingly inventive, and his themes are ancient Greek in scope."
-- Michael Atkinson, Movieline's Hollywood Life Ranked #5 in Entertainment Weekly's Top Ten DVDs Of The Year -- "Fans of Tarantino and films with surprise endings that are actually surprising should flock to this Korean import..."
-- Dalton Ross, Entertainment Weekly Ranked #10 in Rolling Stone's "Top 25 DVDs Of 2005' -- "[A]n explosively exciting revenge drama..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "A master of composition, Mr. Park makes some of the snazziest-looking pulp fiction going."-- Manohla Dargis, New York Times Oldboy | List Price | $22.99 (You save $6.50) | | Studio | Tartan Video | | All Time Sales Rank |  104144  | | CD Universe Part number | 7945154 | | Catalog number | 5004 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Aug 23, 2005 | | Rating | R (MPAA) | | Also Known As | Old Boy | | Additional Info | Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled | | Movie Details | Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled |

THIS MOVIES TWISTED,AND PRETTY GOOD!!!
I originally hated the movie do to the ending.Because it wasn't happy,but it was altogether sick and twisted,the movie deal's with revenge,insest,and all kind's of weird stuff.My only complaint was the ending do to the build up.You're routing for the main character.Just to be let down by him at the end.But when you get the ending it's pretty cool.You just have to think about it...

Directed by Josh Logan (PICNIC, SOUTH PACIFIC). Academy Award Nominations: Best Score of a Musical Picture.

Oldboy video
$10.29
Joel and Ethan Coen transport Homer's ODYSSEY to the depression-era South in the silly, fun comedy O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson star as three escaped fugitives on the run in Mississippi. Their adventures through the barren landscape includes run-ins with a soothsayer, a trio of Sirens, a Bible-salesman Cyclops, as well as other archetypes from Southern folklore and pop-culture including a young blues musician, the Klan, and bank robber Baby Face Nelson. Soon they are caught up in a vicious gubernatorial campaign that would make Huey Long proud.
The Coen brothers mix in a host of cinematic references in O BROTHER, including SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS, COOL HAND LUKE, I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG, and even dashes of the Three Stooges. The soundtrack of folk ballads, yodeling traditionals, Delta blues, and prison work songs is outstanding, playing in the background (or foreground) of nearly every scene. Clooney, as the ringleader, displays an effervescent smile that is as intoxicating as the Coens' script is outrageous. The cast, including Holly Hunter, Charles Durning, John Goodman, Chris Thomas King, and Michael Badalucco, is charmingly bewildering in a way that only a Coen brothers' cast can be. Joel and Ethan have done it again, crafting this time a unique film steeped in the traditions of the South--and of Hollywood itself.

Evoking the grit of 1940s noir, director Kyle Dean Jackson makes astonishingly good use of a low budget in this puzzle of a murder mystery. At the center is Detective Kevin Harrison (Michael Madsen, SIN CITY), a weathered cop on his way out; he is training his replacement when a string of brutal murders takes over his attention. At first, the crimes seem random, but Polaroids found at the crime scenes link them together and also connect somehow to the skeletons in Harrison's closet. Shannyn Sossamon (THE ORDER) co-stars as the daughter of a cop whose death is also tied to the current spate of murders.
