 Old Boy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Assaultive in both an aesthetic and philosophical sense, "Old Boy" is a grueling, gripping story of psychological torture.
Filmmaker Park Chan-wook has harnessed a mesmerizing premise and visualized it with a rousing smear of sensory abrasions; "Old Boy" is technically masterful, evocative of the protagonist's crazed/hypnotized mindset.
Although the premise is stirring, "Old Boy" degenerates into an assaultive smear of sadistic stylistics: Gruesome scenes of torture, combined with sordidly sensational flourishes (eating a live octopus), poison the film with their overt nastiness.

Which is another way of saying, let's not forget who DiMasi actually is: the ultimate old boy insider.

With its twisting and turning plot, it's hard to talk about Old Boy without spoiling the delirious sense of disorientation that awaits first time viewers.
Embarking on his quest to discover the man responsible for his imprisonment, Dae-su teams up with female sushi chef (Gang Hye-jung) - impressing her by chowing down on a live octopus then passing out - and unravels a conspiracy that brings him eyeball to eyeball with the mocking cruelty of fate.
Seat-squirming moments include a dental extraction using a claw hammer and no anaesthetic, a tongue being snipped out with scissors and a brilliantly staged corridor fight scene in which Dae-su takes on 20-odd blokes single-handedly, throwing himself in all directions as the camera struggles to keep up.

But that might have taken the boys off of the golf course for more than one afternoon.
Defnall is a "longtime friend of [Gene Smith] and former Hoover mayor Brian Skelton, now a councilman." It's so odd that no sooner had Barbara McCollum (whom I did not support for re-election) predicted that returning Skelton to Hoover city government would return the "old boy network" to Hoover's administration than this happens.
Defnall may be quite qualified for this position, but only his tenure on the board will tell, as the only apparent vetting process for his appointment was a pre-existing friendship with two councilmen and an apparent need to cut corners.
