'Kekexili: Mountain Patrol'... based on an amazing true story about Tibetan villagers who set out to confront poachers of the almost extinct Tibetan Antelope. Set in the wilderness of Kekexili, one of the most sparsely populated regions in the world... it is like another planet. Great movie that had a profound impact in China in bringing attention the region and the plight of its inhabitants and endangered species. This led the Chinese government to offer much-delayed support to the protection of local species, and played a large part in the proposal of the Tibetan antelope as a candidate for official mascot of the 2008 Summer Olympics.

This is a Korean movie called 'Crying Fist', it tells the story of two guys who are pretty much down and out and living depressing lives with boxing as their only escape... the star of Oldboy (and possibly my favourite actor) gives another amazing performance, Choi Min-sik... definitely worth seeing this, even if you're not a boxing fan.

Another Korean movie called 'Brotherhood'. It is about two brothers who get drafted into the South Korean army during the Korean war. Very good war movie... up there with the best I have seen.

And another Korean movie (they are on fire at the moment) called 'The Host'. I was lucky enough to see this gem at a VIP screening in Dublin... it was very entertaining on the big screen! A monster movie that combines a lot of genres and showcases some of the best CG monster scenes I have ever layed my eyes on.Don't be fooled by the serious trailer, you will be laughing as much as you are gripping the side of your seat!
