A Korean movie called ‘May 18’ – 화려한 휴가

I’m a big fan of Korean films and would like to know what you thought of this film.As far as I know,it tells a story about the suppression/murder of a student uprising in a so-called democracy.

On DVD-
Lust Caution.The first 25 minutes are mind-numbingly boring until the first killing,then it settles down to a very entertaining story of the Japanese occupation of Shanghi and how a group of patriotic students join the underground in trying to assassinate a local collaborater.It’s a very stylish film but the very strong sex scenes may be a bit too much for some.
D-War.Based on a Korean legend about dragons,this is one of those bad films you can’t help but enjoy.Good story,bad script,rotten acting,fair to middlin’ SFX.This could have been a very good TV movie.

At the pictures-
El Orfanato (The Orphanage).Based around the story of Peter Pan,this is a cracking psychological thriller from Spain (yes,it does have sub titles) directed by first timer Juan Antonio Bayona and produced by the great Guillermo del Toro.I lost count of the number of times I got goose-bumps and I jumped off my seat at least twice.

I expect a lot of head-scratching in the foreseeable future getting my head around a completely new operating system:diablo: .

Set aside the whole of Saturday to get Adell2 up and running but didn’t need to.I’m pleased to say it was so easy,especially for this Luddite.Took out the hard drive from Adell1 and put it in a slim drive enclosure,so now I have an external hard disc too.I’m very impressed with plug-and-play.Had a prob with the touch pad so plugged an ordinary mouse in (it worked straight away) and sorted out that problem in 2 minutes.
Mr Postman also delivered BT Home Hub.Got that up and running in under 30 minutes.I love wireless:D . So far I’m a very happy bunny.

Not so Mogs,Adell 2 came with full Windows Vista Ultimate 32BIT,including a back-up disc,(Can’t get over how quiet she is.Adell 1 had her cooling fan running all the time.) which means that she won’t work with my basic BT Broadband connection,so have had to upgrade to BT HomeHub.Still waiting for the “box of tricks” to arrive which will mean even more head-scratching:( .

Pure coincidence…………
Just upgraded from this to a Dell XPS M1530.
Adell 1(Dell Latitude),served me well over the years,running Windows 98,but when some of the essential programs I was running wouldn’t update,I realised it was time to bite the bullit and upgrade.
Adell 2 was delivered yesterday,in all her “RED” glory.
I expect a lot of head-scratching in the foreseeable future getting my head around a completely new operating system:diablo: .

U2 3D at The London IMAX.
It’s the closest I’ve been to a live concert,and I’ve been to a few,whilst sitting in a cinema.Amazing picture,cracking sound.
THE best concert film I have ever seen:D .

Red for me to,especially when worn on G-HUNT,G-FIRE and G-FURY and my Lambretta TV 175 .

I knew it was too good to be true !!!!!!!.
Don’t know where the BBC got their info from but it was wrong.See HERE.
Sorry guys,I’m as disappointed as you 😡 .
