2005 AFFD Festival Week -- An Interlude

There were other films being played that I could not attend due to scheduling reasons, films I had already seen for entertainment purposes, and ones that I caught on DVD during the festival week in order to catch up. Here are those titles:

Dark Water - The original Japanese thriller, a far more creepy and unsettling affair than the American remake.
How I rated Dark Water: 3


The Hero: Love Story of a Spy - I was shocked at how unwatchable this film was. A truly interminable experience. The giddy joy of Bollywood productions was nowhere to be found.

How I rated The Hero: Love Story of a Spy: 1


Infernal Affairs - The one that started it all. No doubt!

How I rated Infernal Affairs: 3


Love Battlefield - The Hero may have been unwatchable, but Love Battlefield was simply unlikable. Shrill, unpleasant people making alarmingly stupid choices. Predictability laid upon irritability. I actually hated Love Battlefield.

How I hated Love Battlefield: 1


2009: Lost Memories - Not awful, just waaaaayy too talky. There are some nice action scenes but they get swallowed whole by the endless yakking.

Next Up: Bad Guys and Dolls
