Neat little movie with an interesting story line that I don't recall ever seeing before. One day a fella wakes up and throughout his day he realizes that The Beatles are completely removed from history in everybody's memory, except for his. Of course, he's a musician and begins to publicly perform Beatles songs to much acclaim...

Hilarity at times ensues, and a love story emerges at seemingly the most inconvenient time.

Nice lil popcorn flick, just don't expect it to shake your world. Let it be the fun lil romp that it is.

Rolling Stone's 2nd greatest album of all time
Fantastic album, and one I have spent a lot of time listening to. Indeed, on this listen I immediately went back and listened to it again. From the sublime Wouldn't It Be Nice, to the sombre Don't Talk and the story of Sloop John B and the uplifting I Know There's an Answer (or as I prefer, the Hang on to Your Ego version). Every song is a singalong classic and I would encourage everyone to give this a few listens.

"It’s such a beautiful cinematic poem, I suppose. When I did Push in Hong Kong, it was a great pleasure to be able to shoot the film almost in the style of Wong Kar-Wai — just with him in mind, you know. Beautiful light, reds and greens. I actually stayed in one of the apartments in Hong Kong that he designed, which was nice. Lots of wallpaper. As a movie, you’re just so compelled by these two characters, and he only shows glimpses of them, yet they’re so compelling — which is a feat in itself."

I really really really liked this.

The style was easy to get into and the storyline, though a little gory at times, was interesting and unique.

Between the two men in her life I have to say I'm all for Mark Batten . That's not to say I don't like Harry, he's nice and seems he'd do anything for her but Mark seems the same way and he's only human.

I'm very eager for the second book in the series so I can see what happens next between these three.

"I think this one speaks for itself. I saw this after I saw Poetry. I wish more of Lee Chang-dong’s films were on Criterion. Song Kang-ho in Secret Sunshine is not the central performance, but he’s just so honest and raw and true. He’s this man who wants to be loved so badly. It’s heartbreaking. Director Lee really turns a mirror on you. I was raised very Christian, and somehow this film echoes the things buzzing in the back of my head. It’s nice to have someone make you not feel crazy."
