[_Fred_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119150/) We have a _Freejack_ repeat, so we still need one more “F” film to balance the books on that letter. ---

Here’s a replacement “F” **Friend** One of the most popular Korean movies of the last decade. Four boys grow up as friends; two become rival gangsters. ---

I’ll continue… **Gonin** Five desperate losers rob a gangster’s office. It’s not long before the Yakuza are quick to retaliate. I typically dig this genre; but this one left me cold, even if it does star Beat Takeshi. ---

**Hypnotized** (aka Faceless Beauty) Korean psychological romantic drama with eroticism. Unfortunately, it wasn’t all that erotic and the drama and romance weren’t all that compelling. And I still haven’t figured out if the story is “complex” or just full of art-house pretentiousness. But boy the visuals were vivid and striking! Give the cinematographer props. ---

Well, shoot. I was just going by the last post. Now we’ve got an extra “F” in post #603. Bank it for the next round I guess… ---
