Thirst (Bakjwi) on DVD

 Thirst (2009) Poster


Jacket: "From the acclaimed director of the global hit Old Boy comes a shockingly original vampire story with a chilling erotic style.  A blood transfusion saves the life of a priest, but also transforms him into a vampire. He struggles to control his insatiable thirst for blood until a love affair unleashes his darkest desires in deadly new ways."

Wiki: "Park has stated, "This film was originally called 'The Bat' to convey a sense of horror. After all, it is about vampires. But it is also more than that. It is about passion and a love triangle. I feel that it is unique because it is not just a thriller, and not merely a horror film, but an illicit love story as well."

Disgusting. Erotic. Screwed up. Yeah, I loved it.


Good Hair



Sit back and relax

Jacket: "Chris Rock visits beauty salons and hairstyling battles, scientific laboratories and Indian temples to explore the way hairstyles impact the activities, pocketbooks, sexual relationships, and self-esteem of the black community in this expose of comic proportions that only he could pull it off.
A raucous adventure prompted by Rock's daughter approaching him and asking, "Daddy, how come I don't have good hair?",  GOOD HAIR shows Chris Rock engaging in frank, funny conversations with hair-care professionals with hair-care professionals, beauty shop and barbershop patrons, and celebrities including Ice-T, Nia Long, Paul Mooney, Raven Symone, Dr. Maya Angelou, Salt-N-Pepa, Eve and Reverend Al Sharpton - all while he struggles with the task of figuring out how to repsond to his daughter's question."
