Gozu: Terrible in most every respect as expected, I also feel this is quite possibly Takashi Miike's magnum opus in its sheer glorious ridiculousness. Unlike the somber joke that is DOA with its magnificent punchline, this entertained for the entire time due to random shit like ceiling milk and the hermaphrotaur. There were at least three times during the final half hour when I kept expecting it to end (mostly just because it would be sudden yet perfect), but each time it moved on to something more bizarre and fantastic. Alcohol was involved in our watching but I only regret that I let it sit on my shelf for over a year before finally seeing it.
Oldboy: While they definitely appear to find themselves far more clever than they actually are, the swift pacing, good timing, and solid cinematography had me enjoying this throughout. While the buildup led to truth that was ridiculous in ways that did not appear intentional, I felt this was more interesting than it otherwise would've been due to the aforementioned reasons.
Sitting next to my TV awaiting their first times to me: Heat, Amadeus (haven't seen in like 20 years), Elizabeth, Leon the Professional, and American Psycho.
