This is active versus passive voice.
There was no apparent outside agency performing this miracle/conjuring trick.
All by itself, the omnibus turns into a hearse before his very eyes.
The passive voice would be:
'suddenly turned into a hearse (by whom/what?). There is no other agency performing this action on the omnibus. It is the agent performing the action of this transformation.
The next step in the viewer's logic, is trying to reason how that happened. If then some viewer wants to come up with some conspiracy theory or extra=terrestrial intervention theory, then the people HE tells about what he saw will hear, "It was turned into a hearse (((by his choice of conspiratorial agent))) as a sign that we are all going to die soon." etc

On Island Time
Leave behind your landlocked lifestyle to relax on these charming North American isles.
Assateague isn't only for the birds, but it's wonderful for watching them or enjoying other wildlife, such as wild horses.
Birds start to twitch as we approach the spring equinox. Their brains, catalyzed by the lengthening photoperiod, i.e. more sunlight, tell them to fatten up for spring flights to summer nesting lands. For these migrants, many having flown for countless nighttime hours across gulf, ocean and lake, islands appear at the perfect moment, providing shelter, rest, and most importantly, nourishment. Islands also replenish us. A ferry or causeway carries us away from harried society.
Living on an island takes resolve, but a daylong or weeklong visit provides plenty of island medicine without any of the obligation. For example, one doesn't casually move to Vancouver's Bowen Island, an artist colony where, one former resident recently reflected, "everyone knows what you ate for breakfast." But a visit to Bowen Island on a sun-filled Saturday to tour galleries and sample pastries at The Village Baker café should be nobody's business but your own. Here are eight superb islands that just might tempt you to set your clock to island time.
Assateague Island, Virginia
You can't inhabit Assateague Island unless you have feathers or your height is measured in hands. Home to more than 300 bird species, this 37-mile-long barrier island constantly changes physically, though its unusual political split between claimants Maryland and Virginia remains firmly in place. The state and commonwealth even divide the famed wild (actually feral) horses with a fence that bisects the island. You can only see the "saltwater roundup" on the Virginia side however, when the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department, which manages the herd, completes a census and thins the herd via auction on "Pony Penning Day." (More progressive Maryland keeps herd numbers stable with contraception.) Kayaking upon the natural inland channels reveals herons, eagles, pelicans and, yes, even the occasional horse.
Vibrant and varied cultures collide with serenity on Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island.
Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
Islands are defined by physical remoteness, but no North American "landmass surrounded entirely by water" dispatches us more dramatically into a different culture than Cape Breton. Highway signs appear in not two but four languages here: Acadian, Gaelic, English and the Algonquian language, Mikmaq. Once independent of Nova Scotia, this community continues to teach Gaelic in the schools. Alexander Graham Bell was so taken with the town of Baddeck on the shores of Bras d'Or Lake that he made his summer home here. The Cabot Trail traverses through the Cape Breton Highlands, among the most majestic headlands this side of Scotland. Visits to Cape Breton are incomplete without attending a Celtic music celebration, or caleigh, often featuring world-renowned fiddlers, or a kitchen party, spontaneous gatherings where even the guests are expected to participate.

What is the agenda for today's meeting? What did we decide in last week's planning meeting? Where are the latest documents we are supposed to review? If these questions sound familiar where you work, there is an alternative to scrambling through e-mail messages, attachments, and your file system to find the answers. That alternative is a Meeting Workspace. A Meeting Workspace provides a convenient, centralized place for people to collaborate on a project and have a record of what was decided in a meeting.
A Meeting Workspace is a special type of site in Microsoft Windows® SharePoint™ Services. In this example, you create the site within an Outlook meeting request. The meeting you create the workspace site for does not take place in the Meeting Workspace site. The meeting itself is conducted in person, over the telephone, or from a conferencing program. However, you can view the workspace site and update it during the meeting. For example, you can list the agenda, update the attendees list to show who actually participated, record decisions, track tasks, and add documents. This way, you have a complete record of the meeting for future reference.
After the meeting, use the workspace site to publish the meeting results. You will always see the most current version of a document the team is working on, so you don't have to send large files through your e-mail system each time content changes.
To enable the Meeting Workspace feature in Outlook 2003, you need a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account and access rights to a parent SharePoint Services site or Microsoft Office SharePoint™ Portal Server Web site under which the Meeting Workspace will be a subsite. For more information, contact your organization's administrator.
Note You click Create only if you know you have all the settings in place that you need.
A link to the workspace site is automatically added to the body of your meeting request. Outlook also communicates with the workspace site, automatically adding the subject, date, time, and location from the meeting request to the workspace site.
If you later change the attendee names, date, time, or location in Outlook, Outlook automatically updates the information in the Meeting Workspace site. You can easily identify which meetings in Calendar are linked to a Meeting Workspace because they display a Meeting Workspace icon preceding the meeting subject.
Note If you update the attendees from the workspace site, you must switch back to Outlook to update that information in the request.
Outlook enables you to set up a workspace site for more than one meeting, such as for a recurring meeting or for multiple related meetings that are linked to the same workspace site. You can also assign a delegate to set up the workspace site for you.
How you use the Meeting Workspace is pretty much up to you and what your team's needs are. You can add documents to a document library, manage the attendee list, add items to the agenda, and so on. If the workspace doesn't contain all the information you need, or you don't like the layout or look of the workspace you created, you can customize it by clicking Modify this Workspace at the top right of the page and choosing the options you need.
There is much more to learn about Meeting Workspaces, so take a look at the materials referenced in the See Also section. Meeting Workspaces in Microsoft Office System 2003 offer a new way to help you keep it together.

Birmingham, Alabama 09'
Well it was that time of the year again, what time you ask? Time to take another random road trip to a state I know nothing about! This time of year has always been a favorite. I chose to go to one of the states where I've been to countless times yet haven't stayed in longer than a week, the good old "Yellowhammer" state seemed to be the best bet. Now renting a car to Alabama was no problem at all, then again it usually never is when renting from the Budget Car Rental in the Orlando International Airport since I'm a member of the Fastbreak® program where I was able to bypass the line and walk directly to the rental car I wanted. Usually when I go on these aimless road trips I rent a sports car however during my last experience I got a speeding ticket and to fight temptation I just went with a luxury car this time. The car that really caught my eye from the get-go was the Cadillac STS, and that was the car I was riding in for the next 6 days. Unlike many other of my road trips I just went straight from point A to point B so I can soak up as much time in Alabama as I could. I wanted to relax most of the time and there is nothing more relaxing to me than just sitting on a boat and catching fish. I went on a few guided fishing tours my first one was A-Team Fishing Adventures where I everyone on the boat was after two main fish, the speckled trout and a red. Luckily enough I caught both of those fish now they weren't the biggest in the sea but at least now I have bragging rights! Another thing that I really enjoyed doing was the Alabama Hunting and Fishing trail, this trail was unlike anywhere I've ever been in my entire life I've never wished I had an Alabama state hunting license so bad in my life-but of course that's not a normal thing everyday people wish for, however I did have my fishing pole where I took a sit down and cast my line and caught some bass. After my day at the trail I was exhausted I took a rest at the hotel and woke up early the next morning to check out some of the local museums and shopping options. I checked out the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame Museum solely because I was told about it by a co-worker who has been to Alabama and would not shut up about it, and to be completely honest everyone at the job might just get an ear full once I return as well! After leaving the museum I decided to pick up some souvenirs for the friends and family. And had to make my way home I got a nice 3 days of rest and an even better 3 days of doing fun activities overall I regret all the times I went to Alabama and didn't stay for longer, but now I know that the next time I need some rest and relaxation I'll head over to the good ole' Yellowhammer state.

Albuquerque, New Mexico - Stephanie Diaz is a veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department. A detective no less. Obviously armed with many a skill to earn such a rank, the one that comes in handy every September when she makes her way out to Albuquerque for the National Police Shooting Championships (NPSC) is ambidextrousness.
"I shoot revolver right handed and semi-automatic left," she asserted.
How useful is such a skill? Useful enough for her to win five High Woman titles at NPSC.
"It's a handy skill," Diaz said with no pun intended.
It was this year that Diaz won her fifth title. With a score of 6085-306x (the X stands for bullseye), she slipped by U.S. Border Patrol's Gina Hernandez by a mere 6Xs. Talk about the skin of your teeth.
To accomplish such a feat, Diaz relied on a few things; training, natural ability and her guns.
Over the next few weeks, we'll take a closer look at the guns of Stephanie Diaz. Six to be exact. The 1500 Revolver, the Distinguished Revolver, the Service Revolver, the 1500 and Distinguished Semi-Automatic, the Stock Semi-Automatic and the Off-Duty Semi-Automatic. For it's not enough to just know about the person when it comes to winning at the highest of levels. Sometimes you have to know about the equipment too.

CHEF BRAM FOWLER, a native South African and his wife Geraldine, a native from Mauritius Island, owned a small independent highly acclaimed neighborhood restaurant in Longwood Florida, after residing in the USA ten years prior. After a brief year trial in a private Country Club, the couple turned the page three years ago and started a catering only business. Their customers remain their loyal ones from the established JOURNEYS in Longwood and new ones from referral and word of mouth.
Chef Bram was nominated Best Chef in Central Florida in 2010 by Restaurant Forum magazine.
Chef Bram cooked at the prestigious James Beard Foundation House in NYC in June 2014.
What makes JOURNEYS CATERING different from any other catering company? Unlike many other big scale enterprises who do up to twenty catering jobs a day, Journeys does one event per day and that event is YOURS! No matter how small or big! Chef Bram himself writes your custom made menu which is within your budget and allergy restrictions, Chef Bram himself goes grocery shopping at farmers markets for the freshest locally used ingredients he can find in season and Chef Bram himself prepares his dishes in your home kitchen, booked venue or corporate office.
July 10, 2014
JOURNEY's Catering is an exceptional company, not only do you receive excellent tasting food but phenomenal service and people. They have catered numerous events for me and all my friend rave about the food and presentation. They make me look amazing..
Barbara Linder
5/5 STARS July 9, 2014
We have used Chef Bram Fowler for several parties and gatherings at our home. Chef Bram has always been extremely professional, arrived early, got the food out in a timely manner and left our home looking like nothing even happened (except for the delicious smells that lingered into the night)! My guests were more than impressed with the quality of the food and the presentation. Many of my friends and guests use Chef Bram for their special dinner parties after experiencing some of his amazing dishes and extremely reasonable pricing. Chef Bram always goes above and beyond to keep his clients happy. I am a vegetarian and have to say he doesn't just serve vegetables, he makes the most wonderful and creative vegetarian dishes I have EVER had, even better than some of the top rated restaurants in the world.
Lisa D.
5/5 stars - July 9, 2014
I have always enjoyed Bram's creative culinary talent! He always provides great quality and originality in his preparation. Most of all his love for creating and delivering delicious meal experience is reflected in every single plate!

July 7, 2014
Dear Geraldine & Bram,
Just wanted to thank you both for the several dinner parties you prepared in our home. I wish I could recall all the fabulous dishes from each party, one was just as delish as the other!
The chicken & Farro dish, The tenderloin and the shrimp & goat cheese were a few that were enjoyed by everyone!!!! Many compliments from our guests and tons of thank you notes especially from the kick off to our nieces wedding weekend !!!
Seriously, everyone said it was the best party and the food beyond "The Best Ever"
And to leave our home spotless with the biggest bowl of truffle popcorn...
You are the very best at what you do !!
Thank you again so very much!
Betsey & Jess Bailes
After an initial telephone call or email introduction, Chef Bram and Geraldine meets with you at your respective home or office and discusses budget, guests, use of kitchen, set ups and menu preferences. If the venue is not your home kitchen, a meeting is set up at the chosen location for the same purposes. Being a wedding, rehearsal dinner, buffet, sit down dinner, corporate luncheon, anniversary party, platter deliveries, at home meals, sweet 16, private wine pairing dinner or whatever your event may be, Chef Bram will organize his freelance list of staff he needs to make sure your service compliments the food being served.

Local record shops will need to up their game to weather the substanceless future of music
Published: November 22, 2011
"We're struggling a bit, but we're keeping our doors open," Risher said.
Around that same time, I spoke with folks at Janie's Record Shop at Bandera near Woodlawn. Like Del Bravo, Janie's sells Latin music, but offers more used material. Customer traffic was steady while I was there, and owner Juanita Esparza said she was not worried about closing Janie's, even though Janie's moved two years ago to cut down on rent and her daughter/accountant Rebecca DeLeon's Era Tapes downtown store closed early last decade. Her son/inventory manager Robert Esparza shared anecdotes of international customers visiting and how fast Janie's hit the 5,000 friend limit on Facebook.
"[Esparza] is trying to survive just like we are," Gutiérrez insists. "If we don't have a product, we send [the customer] to her. We try to be each other's lifeline."
It's unclear who is being more honest, but it's clear that Del Bravo is in twilight. The Gutiérrez family still sells DLB's back catalog to distributors and collects royalties on around 15,000 song copyrights through their San Antonio Music Publishers. In other words, they have other means.
I ask Gutiérrez about amping their sales (including two warehouses of used vinyl) by selling online. He's indefinite.
Hopstetter describes a good record store as having the selection and promotion of Waterloo Records and End of an Ear in Austin. He finds as many as 20 items on his purchase radar whenever he visits. Austin stores host in-store shows/appearances and promote sales/deals through social media. According to Corbin Harwell, Waterloo's indie buyer, the shop averages around four in-store events a week.
End of an Ear uploads record porn to YouTube: videos of lovely hands showing off new arrivals, frequently followed by "hold" requests in the Facebook comments section. Michael Kurtz, co-founder of Record Store Day and president of the Music Monitor Network (the largest indie record store coalition in the U.S. and Canada), adds that an ideal record store provides an online order department.
Hogwild and Alamo Records and Sheet Music don't have websites. Hogwild promotes deals and events via social media, though their homemade videos make a greater attempt at (bad) comedy than the hawking of wares. Special events happen less than once a week, but they also mention new arrivals, events around town, and share excellent music trivia. Conversely, Del Bravo's Facebook started in mid-summer and has less than a page of updates. Janie's spams variations of the same post with video and picture links.
None of these stores offer online ordering, but I wish that was the worst of it.*
"We just opened our doors and got slammed," Risher said about Hogwild's Record Store Day 2011 festivities in April. He didn't book regional/local talent (as Waterloo did) or even give discounts to customers who shotgunned beers (as Austin's Trailer Space Record Shop has). He just came to work, not bothering to double-down on the publicity provided by the holiday.

With the Dyno Kwick lock pick tool you don't need to know how to pick locks. Naturally, your Kwick Pick comes with full instructions.

After repeated use (normal wear and tear) both may need replacement.
The tip of the Dyno Kwick rake is small enough to be effective with many different USA
made as well as European and Japanese manufactured locks. Though one tool cannot
take the place of a complete lock pick set the Kwick Pick comes close! What makes
the Kwick Pick most appealing is its all-in-one design and ease of use.

Hey hey you guys and gals!
Even though I've had the past few Fridays off, I've still tried to make them productive since it will be back to the 5-day grind soon. I spent today getting my blood drawn (for one of my January goals), working on a case study about celiac disease, planning meals and my grocery list for next week, updated my blog layout and got in a solid workout… check me out! It required so much coffee, though…
Anyway, here's a recap on this weeks workouts.
Sunday: Nike+ strength training workout
Monday: OFF
Tuesday: 2.5 quick and sweaty run… took a full minute off my mile pace! Ouch
Wednesday: OFF
Thursday: 3.5 mile steady run
Friday: Nike+ strength training workout
Saturday: Planning on a 6 mile run… ahh wish me luck!
On Wednesday Andrew and I both had headaches so we decided to take an extra day off. Sometimes you just need to do that. I know a lot of people who hate skipping workouts because it totally throws them off. Me? Well you see I'm much like Roger and….
I try to never take anything to seriously. It's a quite common for people to comment on my relaxed approach to life. Taking it easy is the best route. And wine generally induces that.
How do you feel about missing a workout?

There have been over 43,000 Quilts of Valor presented since 2003, when Quilts of Valor Foundation (www.QOVF.org) first started its daily mission of quilting to honor and comfort wounded soldiers. What started as an effort to appropriately welcome home combat veterans from the war in Iraq now honors veterans from all American conflicts, including WW II, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
As a fellow quilter, I invite you to take a Rookie (someone who has not made a quilt before) under your wings and help her/him make just one quilt, a Quilt of Valor. As Coach, you'll teach your Rookie to sew a simple 1/4" seam, then do the cutting, pinning, and pressing while your Rookie sews the simple patchwork blocks together. The Rookie selects and purchases their own a kit for a patriotic quilt of comfort, and from there, the Quilts of Valor web site locates a volunteer longarm machine quilter for your team's quilt, and helps you find a recipient and also records your giving.
Over 300 independent quilt shops around the country are already Official Under Our Wings shops. All are stocking special American Valor fabrics created specifically for Quilts of Valor. Go to http://www.qovf.org/localqov-list.html to find a participating shop near you. For more information about being a quilt Coach, go to http://www.qovf.org/content/uowcoach.html
Every month, QOVF is 150 quilts short of requests from military hospitals, both here and in Germany where wounded military service members are taken after injury.
We quilters already know how satisfying it is to make a quilt and give it to someone who needs it. By becoming an UOW Coach, you can help Rookie quilters experience the therapy of making and giving quilts.
The Town and Country Quilters of Joplin, MO lost everything, including their homes, in a recent and devastating tornado. This quilting group is known for donating many of their quilts to local charities, and could use your help to get started again. They need all tools and supplies restocked because their storage house was also destroyed. Gone are all of the supplies used in the making of charity quilts (rotary cutters, cutting mats, batting, fabric, etc.). If you or your quilt guild would like to donate items, please send them to guild member:

Pocket Change for Global Change, Inc.
Pocket Change for Global Change, Inc., recently exhibited an amazing variety of beautifully handcrafted quilts made special for young survivors of human trafficking. These quilts are meant to be an object of affection gifted to the survivors to remind them that they are cared for, and to bring them hope. In addition, 100% of the proceeds and survivor sponsorship funds will be contributed to Made by Survivors (www.madebysurvivors.com), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that works to rescue and rehabilitate young girls in multiple regions.
With human trafficking now ranking in the top three worst crimes across the globe, these young girls and women are increasingly being kidnapped, beaten and held against their will to perform exploitative acts for money. Though it is often thought that the crime occurs mostly overseas, this type of criminal activity is on a severe incline here in the United States as well. Pocket Change for Global Change, Inc., is raising the voice for the survivors with hope to provide more resources and compassion to contribute in the near future.

Tip toeing through the scraps

As a lover of tulips I was so excited when I received my 2010 Jan/Feb issue of Fons and Porter Love of Quilting Magazine. I could not wait to get started. I used all my scraps of fabric to make this "happy" quilt. Love of Quilting is the only magazine I now subscribe to and would not give it up.

Our neighbor, Marie Tedesco Folderman, made this beautiful quilt for my daughter Zarrita's 16th birthday! I know she would be honored and thrilled to show her work to other quilters since quilting has been her passion for many years.

My special sister loves the Wizard of Oz so when I saw this fabric a few years ago, I knew I wanted to make her a special quilt. I put together all of the fabric in such a way it would tell the story. Thank you for such a great pattern.

In the United States, defendants in criminal or civil issues appearing before a court have the right to be tried by a jury of their peers. A number of other countries also have laws in place which rely on juries to render a verdict. The jury selection process refers to the various methods used to determine which individuals will be required to serve.
Often, the first step in the jury selection process is to compile a randomly generated list of individuals eligible to serve. In the United States, eligible individuals are citizens who are at least 18 years of age. These individuals must also live in the local county in which they have been asked to serve. To gather an accurate sampling of the local community, this list is usually compiled through drivers' license and voter registration records.
Once the list has been completed, a jury summons form is mailed out to all prospective candidates — informing them of the specified time, date and location on which to appear. In many jurisdictions, the summons also includes a jury questionnaire section. These questionnaires gather personal data including education, marital status and occupation.
A number of prospective jurors will not make it to final jury selection process. Directions on the jury summons form typically cover allowed exemptions and disqualifications. For instance, individuals who cannot read are usually disqualified. Reasonable exemptions from serving on a jury might include being over 70 years of age or being a full-time student. Some individuals might also be able to request a delay due to prior appointments. Once prospective jurors return their jury summons form and show up for the appointed court date, the selection process can begin.
To assign jurors to particular cases, groups of jurors are taken into the courtroom and given background information on the case. In most instances, jurors must also swear to answer all questioned truthfully; then the questioning process known as voir dire begins. In England and Wales, this jury selection process is simple; the first 12 potential jurors are called and asked if they can give a fair hearing. Those that affirm they can are usually accepted.
In the United States, however, voir dire is a formal questioning process that allows the judge and lawyers on both sides to ask potential jurors a number of questions to determine eligibility. The returned jury questionnaires are shared with the lawyers and often influence the questions they ask. Generally, these questions are used to gain an understanding of a juror's background and determine if there are any prejudices that would prevent a juror from being impartial. For example, in a malpractice case a doctor who has previously been sued for malpractice might be excused from serving to avert the possibility of bias.
During the jury selection process, lawyers on both sides may excuse jurors by issuing a challenge — with or without cause. Challenges for cause can be issued when jurors have a bias toward one party. Lawyers on each side have an unlimited number of such challenges to issue. A peremptory challenge on the other hand is issued without reason. Unlike for cause challenges, each side has just a few that can be issued. Lawyers may strategically use these challenges in an attempt to influence the final jury make up in favor of their client.
The voir dire process continues until both sides are satisfied with the final jury pool. The size of the final jury differs somewhat based on the jurisdiction and the type of case being tried. In the United States, England and Wales, 12 member juries are common.
Although some jurors may resent having to serve and seek to avoid jury duty, the jury selection process is a vital part of the legal process. This random selection method ensures that race, gender, religion or other prejudices do not influence jury selection and helps all accused individuals get a fair trail.

we meet the mysterious man at the door, martha strips and they all eat pizza xD
Andy POV
I walk up to the big house. My mum had sent me around to welcome our new neighbours. I brought a basket with stuff like cookies, homemade bread, and flowers. I thought it was cheesy, but she said it was the best way to welcome our only neighbours. Our houses were only ones close enough to walk to. There was a field between them but it was only small and there was a path along one side.
After knocking on the door a few times, I decided they were not in. I guess it was still school time, I wasn't used to it because I had left what felt like an eternity ago. I had always known what I wanted to be. I wanted to be in a band. My teachers always said "It doesn't work like that, you need a real job!" but I proved them wrong. Ok, I wasn't exactly famous, but I had a band and I would be.
I settled down next to the door and waited for their return. I took out my notepad and started writing. I often wrote, if I felt sad, or happy, or anything really. I guess I like writing. I was bent over my notepad, exposing only my leather pants and a white tee.
"Can I help you?" I heard a sweet voice chime from above me. I look up to see a beautiful girl with long black hair that fell smoothly past her shoulders. her eyes were a beautiful sparkling blue, like a bubbling, sparkling mountain stream. She was wearing dark grey, slightly worn, skinnies, an American flag t-shirt and red converse. I looked to her side to see a short boy dressed in skinnies, misfits shirt and vans. He had a flattened Mohawk dyed black and straightened in front of his eyes. He also had red eyeliner that was slightly smudged.
"Hi," I smiled, standing up. The boy was really short, the girl was about 5`7 which would make him about 5`4. "I'm Andy Biersack." I extended my hand.
"Charlie Harries." She smiled and took my hand in hers. She was very pretty, although I caught a glance of some pink scars.
"This is my boyfriend, Frank." she turned to the short boy and I shook his hand too.
"Nice to meet you." I smiled as the rest of the group arrived.
"Mum, this is Andy." Charlie explained awkwardly. I realised I was gawping at one of her friends with red hair.
"Hello dear." Mrs Harries addressed me.
"Hi, I'm your neighbour. My mum sent me with this." I produced the strange basket.
"Oh, thank you honey. Do you want to come in?"
"Thank you," I replied.
Martha POV
He was gorgeous. His leather pants were tight against his long legs, his white top was fitted perfectly. His hair was shiny black and fluffed up to frame his face beautifully. He had gorgeous blue eyes that I could get lost in forever, they were framed with thick black liquid eyeliner.
He ended up staying the night with us.
"So," I was sitting on the floor next to Andy in Charlie's games room. "how old are you?"
"Nineteen, you?" he replied in the voice of a god. It was deep and sexy, but also soothing.
"Seventeen." We all replied except from Gerard who replied with "Eighteen."
"Cool." He smiled.
The four love birds were on the sofa. My twin was practically all over Colt. The seat was reclined and they had their legs enter-twined. Frank and Charlie were in a similar position and Frank was playing with her hair.
We were watching Gerard and Andy get owned by Charlie at COD. I think Jaz had fallen asleep and Colt was watching her lovingly.
"Are you hungry?"Charlie asked sitting up. "My mum made pizza."
"Sure, I'll help you." Frank followed her out of the room.
Charlie POV
"Mum?" I called out to the empty first floor. No answer. I repeat it again on the ground floor.
"I guess they've left." Frank smiled from my side, clasping my hand. "You ok?"
"Yeah, it's just, I'm going to sound so stupid. I'm kinda scared of the dark." I smile warily.
"It's ok. I'll keep you safe." Frank kissed me quickly before we went to my kitchen, flicking on lights as we went. "There, you're safe from the dark, it's not going to hurt you now." He giggled, pulling me closer.
"I'm not scared of the dark, just what could be hiding in it." I shy into his shoulder.
"C'mon, let's get the food." He pulled me to the oven where the pizzas were waiting. Two cheese and tomato, two pepperoni, and two barbeque chicken.
We shared the cheese ones between me, Frank and Andy as we were vegitarians. The other pizzas were demolished between the other four.
"Let's play spin the bottle." Andy suggested.
"Ok, here." Gerard placed a bottle in the middle of the room that we then formed a circle around. Frank was on my left, Gerard next to him then Colt and Jaz, to my right was Andy, then Martha.
"You go first." I said to Andy as it was his idea. It landed on me. Great. "Truth or dare." He asked me mischievously, hoping that I would pick dare.
"Aww, ok." He paused to think.
"Ok, are you a virgin?"
"Yes." I say, it wasn't a big deal. Being the outcast I always had been, Frank was my first boyfriend.
"Reall? A pretty girl like yourself? I could change that for you." He smiled seductively at me before looking past me and bursting out laughing. "Sorry Frank. you should see your face."
"Don't worry baby, I would have said no." I kissed him quickly.
I spun next and it landed on Gerard. "Dare." He said before I could ask
"Make out with Andy." I wanted to get my own back on him for that.
Gerard threw himself across the circle and sat on top of Andy. He crushed their lips together forcing Andy back on the floor. It was quite funny because Gerard was only my height and Andy was at least 6 foot and he was completely helpless.
"Ok Gerard." I say gasping for breath in my fit of hysteria. "I think that's enough guys."
Gerard whispered loudly to him "Call me." Making a phone signal with his hand.
The only other memorable thing was Andy daring Martha to go to his house and ask to borrow some toilet paper ... in her underwear.
"There, you fucking happy?" She asked holding up the roll of white paper, still in her underwear.
"Very." He wiggled his eyebrows.
"Mar, put your clothes back on before Andy jizzes all over the place." Jaz said from beside Colt.
We decided to watch a film and we all settled back down. Me, Frank, Colt and Jaz resumed our previous positions on the sofa. Gee was lounging across one of the beanbags and Martha and Andy were couched up in the armchair.
That's where we all fell asleep for the night.
yeah, thats andy from black veil brides btw i have recently developed an obsession with them xD
what did you think? hope you liked it and i kinda feel sorry for gee in this chapter, he's (bursts into song)all by his-seeeeelf

|Devil Rays select Vanderbilt lefty Price with top pick in draft
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 07 June 2007 08:31
Price went 11-1 with a 2.63 ERA and Division I-leading 194 strikeouts for the Commodores. He is the fourth left-hander taken with the top pick and first since Brien Taylor went to the New York Yankees in 1991.
The first round of the draft was being televised live from an actual site for the first time after being held strictly by conference call in previous years. About 400-500 fans were at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla., and commissioner Bud Selig was in attendance, along with Tom Lasorda, Dave Winfield, Darryl Strawberry, Don Zimmer and Frank Howard.
About two dozen Devil Rays fans chanted ``Let's Go Rays!'' and ``We Want Price!'' during the commercial break after Selig made a few opening remarks and Tampa Bay went on the clock.
It was the third time in franchise history the Devil Rays had the top pick and first since they took outfielder Delmon Young in 2003. Tampa Bay took outfielder with its first No. 1 pick in 1999.
Price's dominant season came to a surprising end in the regionals when his top-ranked Commodores lost to Michigan on Monday. In that game, he came on in relief and took his first loss of year after striking out 17 against Austin Peay three days earlier. Projected as a future staff ace in the majors, Price has a fastball measured in the mid-90s. He mixes it well with an outstanding slider and changeup.
Kansas City had the second pick, followed by the Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh and Baltimore to round out the first five selections.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's new president has ordered security officials to create a corridor for safe passage for civilians in the country's east, which has been rocked for two months by a pro-Russian insurgency.
In a statement Tuesday, Petro Poroshenko ordered security agencies to organize transport and relocation to help civilians leave the affected areas.
The United Nations' refugee agency in May said Ukraine's tensions had resulted in about 10,000 displaced people, both from Russia's annexation of Crimea and from the violence in the east.
Poroshenko's brief statement gave no details on where the civilians could be relocated, or what accommodation was available.
At his inauguration on Saturday, Poroshenko said that he would grant amnesty to any insurgents who laid down their arms and had not been involved in bloodshed, and encouraged creation of a safe corridor for rebels to go to Russia, but he ruled out negotiations with any "gangsters and killers" among them.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I personally always thought it's some solid over the top consumerism to buy something that doesn't really exist/serve a purpose other than some shiny pixels on your screen, but it's even worse if it's less convenient for the buyer (i.e. only on one toon rather than all) but maybe that's just me. Plus the whole gold selling side to this is a bit off but I'll hold my tongue until this plays out.

"Iliana believed that by attending a college more than five hours from New York City, she could gain independence and escape the watchful eyes of her overprotective, religiously conservative parents. A disembodied voice that Iliana believes is her mother's haunts her nights with disturbing news about her sisters: Marina is careening toward a mental breakdown; Beatriz has disappeared; Rebecca continues in an abusive and dysfunctional marriage. Iliana reluctantly returns to New York City. In this dislocating urban environment, she confronts all the contradictions, superstitions, joys, and pains of someone caught between two cultures but who is intent on finding a home."
"It is 1961. The Dominican Republic languishes under economic sanctions; the Catholic church spurs its clergy against the government; from its highest ranks down, the country is arrested in bone-chilling fear. In The Feast of the Goat, Vargas Llosa unflinchingly tells the story of a regime's final days and the unsteady efforts of the men who would replace it.
"His narrative skates between the rituals of the hated dictator, Rafael Trujillo, in his daily routine, and the laying-in-wait of the assasins who will kill him; their initial triumph; and the shock of fear's release--and replacements. In the novel's final chapters we learn Urania Cabral's story, self-imposed exile whose father was Trujillo's cowardly Secretary of State. Drawn back to the country of her birth from 30 years after Trujillo's assasination, the widening scope of the dictator's cruelty finds expression in her story, and a rapt audience in her extended family."
"Olivia's boy is her toddler son--and she's tethered to him and to her suburban mommy track so tightly the other girls sometimes cringe. Alexis has a smart mouth and an ample body; she's a beautiful musician's manager with loads of style but about enough self-esteem to fill a Prada card case. Her complicated love affair with the casually sexy Cuban rapper Goyo is a deeply satisfying romance that will delight readers almost as much as the emotional richness and girly fun of the heroines' friendship."
"In this powerful modern odyssey, VidamÍa struggles to bring her father back to the world of jazz. Her quest gives her a new understanding of family, particularly through her half-sisters Fawn, a lonely young poet plagued with a secret, and Cookie, a sassy, streetsmart homegirl who happens to be "white." And when VidamÍa becomes involved with a young African-American jazz saxophonist, she is forced to explore her own complex roots, along with the dizzying contradictions of race etched in the American psyche. Edgardo Vega YunquÉ vividly captures the myriad voices of our American idiom like a virtuoso spinning out a series of expanding riffs, by turns lyrical, deadly, flippant, witty, and haunting."
In 1857, when Chen Pan signs a contract that will take him from China "beyond the edge of the world to Cuba," he has no idea that he will be enslaved on a sugarcane plantation . . . or that he will eventually, miraculously, escape his bonds and embark on a prosperous life in Havana's Chinatown . . . or that he will buy a mulatto woman out of slavery and take her into his home and heart . . . or that he will end his long days in Havana, surrounded by children and grandchildren, as Cuban as he is Chinese.
"With a mandate given to her through a dream, the Navarro matriarch announces that in order for La Estrella to thrive once more, the family must be reunited in Miami. Only there's a hitch: the youngest daughter, Diamond, a journalist living in Las Vegas, is missing. The family must find a way to rescue her, not only in time to restore the family's lost business to its shimmering glory, but also to save Diamond's life."

Olives are as old as the history of man. As Mort Rosenblum mentions in his book, Olives (North Park Press, 1998), Greek athletes lubricated their bodies with olive oil and the first Olympic flame was a burning oil bough. The Romans even had a separate stock market and merchant marine for olive oil. Stories like this abound through the millennia.
By the 10th century, olive groves covered the Mediterranean basin
across southern Europe and northern Africa. Spanish missionaries brought olives to the New World in 1500, and later Italian immigrants carried the olive to South America, Australia and southern Africa. Today, there are about 800 million olive trees in the world with annual product sales of more than 10 billion dollars.
Interesting, yes?
Here are two of my favorite recipes using good olive oil. The saffron penne is sublime. I serve it as a starter before a light,
non-saucy main course.
SPANISH ROASTED VEGETABLE SALAD (6 servings)
A rustic and deeply satisfying peasant dish...
2 large red bell peppers
2 large yellow bell peppers
1 pound butternut squash or pumpkin, unpeeled
2 red onions, unpeeled
2 Spanish onions, unpeeled
4 medium-sized vine-ripened tomatoes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil (pref. Spanish), divided
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat oven to 475 degrees. Cut peppers lengthwise in half, slicing through the stems. Leave these intact but discard the pith and seeds. Slice the squash or pumpkin into 1-inch-thick discs or chunks. Cut onions crosswise into halves, leaving the roots and tops intact. Leave the skins on, too, as they give extra
color and flavor and protect the shape. Cut the tomatoes in half and squeeze
out seeds.
Place all the vegetables, cut sides up, in a large lightly-oiled roasting pan. Drizzle half the oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast on the top rung of the oven for 30 minutes or until they are frizzled, fragrant, wrinkled and soft. Drizzle remaining oil over the tops and serve
warm (not hot) or at room temperature. Eat this dish with your fingers, discarding the skins, roots and stems along the way.
Serve with country bread to scoop up the sweet, oily, sticky juices from the bottom of the pan. A fruity red wine such as a Syrrah is a great partner.
PENNE RIGATE WITH SAFFRON (4 servings)
1 pound imported dried penne rigate pasta
1 large pinch saffron threads or 1/4 teaspoon powdered saffron
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons hot water
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil (pref. Tuscan), divided
2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1 leek, white only, finely sliced
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese curls
Cracked black pepper, to taste
6 baby radicchio leaves, torn, for garnish
Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente. Meanwhile, put
the saffron and sea salt in a mortar and pound to a powder with a pestle
- or use a spice grinder or small processor. Add hot water and stir to dissolve.
Over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed skillet, garlic and leek and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the saffron/water mixture,, mascarpone and wine. Mash and stir to form a creamy sauce. Simmer, stirring, until the wine loses its raw taste and the flavors have mellowed, about 3 to 4 minutes. Combine drained pasta with the sauce and stir until coated. Serve hot, topped with Parmesan curls, cracked black pepper and torn radicchio leaves. Drizzle with remaining oil before serving. A non-oaked Chardonnay is lovely with this.

Killer Joe Reviews
Film School Rejects
Killer Joe is trash. Not bad trash. Not pretentious trash. Just plain old ugly, funny, and sophisticated trash.
Film School Rejects
The tone in Killer Joe feels so expertly and delicately crafted that we only laugh at the film's absurd scenarios if and when the filmmaker permits it so.
Full Review | Original Score: B-
Violent, coarse, perverted, and sickly hilarious, this is highly recommend for those who like their entertainment on the nasty, demented tip.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
This Southern-fried, darkly humorous trailer-trash exploitation crime noir revels in the greedy characters' idiocy and the deranged story's psychosexual luridness.
Full Review | Original Score: B+
Big Hollywood
An intriguing (and sometimes off-putting) cinematic creation featuring Matthew McConaughey in one of his best performances.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
The movie is gross and smutty: It is having so much fun portraying terrible people doing terrible things to one another that it has no interest in pausing to think about what any of this means. Thankfully.
Full Review | Original Score: A-
The Patriot Ledger
McConaughey is making an emphatic statement that 2012 is going to be his renaissance. And not even a turkey like "Killer Joe" is going to get in his way.
Full Review | Original Score: D+
Badass Digest
Friedkin, Letts and the entire cast barrel ahead through incredibly strange, dark territory, never looking back to see if the audience is keeping up. But those who do won't regret it.
Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
McConaughey is funny and fearsome in the title role, the devil holding the family accountable for their choices.
Full Review | Original Score: B
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
As sordid and vile as possible.
Full Review | Original Score: A-
2UE That Movie Show
Killer Joe is America at its worst but Friedkin and McConaghey at very close to their best.
Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5
ABC Radio (Australia)
It's like a cheap, nasty dessert: completely devoid of nutrition, probably very bad for you, but kind of delicious while it briefly lasts.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Daily Star
Only the faint-hearted or KFC kitchen staff should give it a miss.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
Stage-to-screen adaptations are rarely this primal, and it's been a long time since a William Friedkin film has felt so vital.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
Projection Booth
The humor magnifies the horror, and vice versa. Like the inflammatory Dr. Strangelove, we've sewn these seeds, and we deserve whatever is reaped from them.
| Original Score: 3.5/4
Killer Joe will leave many people in shock, confusion, and in need of a thorough shower by the time it's done.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
The scene with the fried chicken drumstick might cause Colonel Sanders to repurpose one of his famous buckets as a barf bag.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
The Aristocrat
Killer Joe is a white-hot fever dream of a film. A toxic swill of sex and violence, Joe is mordantly funny, tantalizing and, ultimately, shocking.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/5
Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
Matthew McConaughey gives an intensely wry performance while director William Friedkin applies his old-master craftsmanship to a brutal, ugly story.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
We Got This Covered
Killer Joe will both infuriate and impress, but when it impresses there is nothing quite like it. It plays on the senses and lingers in the mind, McConaughey is brilliant and Friedkin finds himself in his best form in years
Full Review | Original Score: 9.5/10

Top 20 Best Korean Films of All Time
by Magda Knight
Bookmark and then see the best Korean films of all time - From eerie horror to surreally quirky romance and unique action thrillers with beautiful cinematography. Mookychick proudly presents the best Korean films ever...
Seriously, if you haven't experienced it yet, Korean cinema is great. It creates wild, inventive, clever, beautiful, gripping genre-busting movies with twists and turns so you'll NEVER guess the endings. Korean horror, comedy, revenge thrillers... they're all amazing, and we bring you 20 of the very best films the korean movie industsry has ever made. And here they are, in no particular order (a bit like Pokemon, you gotta watch 'em all...
1. Oldboy
On the day of his daughter's birthday, Oh Dae-Su is abducted and imprisoned in a room for 15 years. Released by unseen captors, Oh Dae-Su is given an expensive suit, money and cellphone... and absolutely NO explanation of what is going on. And that's all in the first ten minutes... Oldboy is a mad, sexy, inventive, stylish psychological thriller directed by Korean film guru Chan-wook Park that's currently getting a US remake (ho-hum) starring Will Smith. Watch the original NOW, before your mind is tainted with the US version. It's the weirdest, most thrilling movie you ever saw in your life. You'll never guess the ending, you'll fall madly in love with the antihero, and you literally won't be able to believe your eyes in the restaurant scene. Even if you think you don't like thrillers... this one will blow you away. It got 8.4 out of 10 on IMDB. Hang on... everyone on IMDB agrees on something for a change? You simply mustn't miss this.
2. The Good, the Bad and the Weird
(Joheunnom nabbeunnom isanghannom)
Buy The Good, The Bad, The Weird [DVD]
An amusing, quirky, inventive korean-flavoured Western directed by Jee-woon Kim. This is the story of two outlaws and a bounty hunter in 1940s Manchuria and their rivalry to possess a treasure map while being pursued by the Japanese army and Chinese bandits. It nods heavily to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but this film is a joy, a riot and makes 'madcap' seem cool again.
3. I'm A Cyborg But That's Okay
(Ssaibogeujiman gwaenchanha)
I'm a Cyborg... is a hyper-cute Korean indie rom-com directed by Park Chan-wook and starring Im Su-jeong and Rain. The film centres around Young-goon, a young woman who genuinely thinks she's a robot. After trying to recharge herself and nearly electrocuting herself in the process, Young-goon is sent to a mental institution. That's where she meets hot patient Il-Sun, a kleptomaniac who claims to steal other people's talents and souls. It's the only romantic comedy we can think of to date that's set in a mental hospital. Be warned: It's very knowing and endearing. If 'cute' sets your teeth on edge, stay away.
4. The Chaser
We stress again... Korean cinema has a real eye for producing thrillers that'll appeal to anyone who believes they hate thrillers. The Chaser is an extraordinarily engaging and gripping film, even if you're not, as far as you're aware, fond of the sight of bloodied hammers being raised and lowered repeatedly. It should be cliche, with a sleazy, lazy cop and a serial killer. But it deftly plays with cliche to come out the other side. It'll mess with your head, too - a Hollywood-style ending occurs a paltry 20 minutes into the film, leaving the viewer to explore whole new territories of invention. The Chaser is absolute genius. It even dares to venture into enjoyably silly farce/satire that's pretty broad for western audiences, although film lovers will know that broad humour is common in the portrayal of peasants or figures of authority in Korean films.
5. A Bittersweet Life
(Dalkomhan insaeng)
Buy A Bittersweet Life [2005] [DVD]
Jee-woon Kim directed this one. Sandwiched between two buddhist parables, crime boss henchman Kim Sun-woo (Lee Byung-hun) is asked to shadow his boss's beautiful young wife, thought to be a bit flighty and cheating on him with a younger man. Normally, our hero and heroine would fall in love. In this case, our hero is constantly trying to do the honourable right thing... and this leads him into situations that become increasingly awful, ending in one of the best finales you'll see in cinema. More stylish than Pulp Fiction, more gripping than Haute Tension... this beautiful Korean movie is red roses for the eyes, and damn near perfect.
6. Hansel and Gretel
(Henjel gwa Geuretel )
Korean horror films are easily as eerie and twisted as Chinese ghost story films or the "Does it have long hair? It must be dead and evil" horror films from Japan. Hansel and Gretel is a very strange and beautifully-shot take on the old Grimm fairytale, placed in a creepily enchanted Korean setting as a young couple lose their way in a dark forest and find themselves staying the night in a happy family home they can never leave...
7. A Tale of Two Sisters
(Janghwa, Hongryeon)
Buy A Tale Of Two Sisters [2003] [DVD]
An even better Korean horror film is A Tale of Two Sisters. Mesmerising, beautiful and strange, it follows the psychological twists and turns of two very odd sisters and a stepmother struggling to accept them as her new family. There may - or may not - be a psychopath in the family. But is it the mother? Or one of the sisters? Or both? It's not a gory film, but so slow and gripping you'll utterly forget to breathe.
8. My Sassy Girl
(Yeopgijeogin geunyeo)
Buy My Sassy Girl (2001) Hilarious Korean Comedy (Eng Subs)
Awwwwwwww. A rating of 8.2 on IMDB for this Korean drama / romantic comedy directed by Jae-young Kwak. It's based on a series of true stories blogged by Ho-sik Kim about his relationship with his girlfriend (later turned into a bestselling book and a crappy US remake). My Sassy Girl describes the meeting of Kyun-woo (Cha) and an unnamed girl. Kyun-woo is shamed into assisting her because the other passengers mistakenly think she is his girlfriend. Once he helps her, Kyun-woo develops a deep sense of responsibility for her which enables him to tolerate (somehow) the girl's abuses. Utterly, utterly lovely, with true laugh out loud moments.
9. The Man From Nowhere
Buy The Man From Nowhere [DVD]
A quiet pawnshop keeper with a murky past takes on a drug/organ trafficking ring in the hope of saving a child who is his only friend. It's an explosive korean thriller with gut-busting adrenalin, richly choreographed violence, gorgeous cinematography and real heart. And, of course, some comedy gems. Korean films are much better at genre-twisting than Hollywood. Fans of the Luc Besson thriller Leon will certainly love this.
10. Mother
Buy Mother [DVD]
You know what? After a slow start, this quirky korean thriller is not entirely unlike Twin Peaks, with its rich and varied cast of very odd townsfolk. The murder mystery focuses on a mother's attempts to clear her son's name when he is implicated in a killing on the grounds that he is simple. As well as being an excellent mystery with neat plot twists, it features fantastic performances... and it's the kind of movie where you really wouldn't be surprised if David Lynch's Log Lady turned up.
11. The Host
Buy The Host [DVD]
Some people moan about The Host because they say it's too patchy. Certainly, it's many films rolled into one. It's not really the horror film people claim it to be - more of a Korean monster movie. But it's got fantastic CGI, and it's really well shot, and it's very funny, and the second half of the film isn't just a witty and well-paced monster movie but also a massive satire on the failings of Korean government and society. All that in one film? Bonus.
12. Haunters
This one's kind of a curio. Are you ready for a korean supernatural thriller stroke superhero movie? You are? Good. Cho-In can control other people's minds, but only when he can see them. And there's just one man he can't control - a man who is immune to his powers. Within the first 15 minutes you'll know this almost-but-not-quite superhero film is designed not to provoke but to entertain. It's zany, wild, and exciting. And makes no sense. Watch it and throw your popcorn in the air. DO IT.
13. Memories of Murder
(Salinui chueok)
Lucky number 13 - this really is one of the best korean films of all time. In 1986, in the province of Gyunggi, in South Korea, a second young and beautiful woman is found dead, forcibly violated and bound in her underwear. Detective Park Doo-Man and Detective Cho Yong-koo, two brutal and stupid local detectives without any technique, investigate the murder using brutality and torturing the suspects, without any practical result. Detective Seo Tae-Yoon arrives to help with investigations and is convinced there's a serial-killer on the loose... This film is disturbing but cathartic. It's based on a true story. It's painstakingly researched with outstanding performances, and based on its topic it should be disturbing. A masterpiece.
14. Lady Vengeance
(Chinjeolhan geumjassi)
Lady Vengeance is the final part of the excellent Vengeance trilogy by lovely Chan-wook Park (which includes Oldboy). After a decade in prison for kidnapping and murdering a little boy, Geum-ja Lee just wants a peaceful life... but she's not going to get it. Lady Vengeance has the dark humour of Oldboy and the low-key elegance of Mister Vengeance. Again, a great plot, fine build of pace and tension, and twists and turns. Most Korean films have those. This one is, however... elegant. Truly elegant. The music, the cinematography, the icy cool of the lead actress... you'd want Lady Vengeance to be your friend. You'd best not make her your enemy.
15. Thirst
Yay it's a korean vampire movie! Directed by... again... Chan-wook Park. He gets around, doesn't he? Chan-wook Park is Korea's answer to Darren Aronofosky, in many ways... Anyway, this ubergory horror movie's plot centres on a priest who 'catches' vampirism through a failed medical experiment and has to give up his holy ways. Although gory with a bit of nudity, vampire lovers simply MUST see Thirst because it pokes a great big hole in all the vampire cliches. It splices inventive plot, dialogue and visceral display with pithy surreal comedy... and as for the love scene? Wow. Weird love scene. Enjoy...
16. I Saw The Devil
(Akmareul boatda)
When his pregnant fiancee becomes the latest victim of a serial killer, a secret agent is torn between good and evil in his pursuit of revenge. Korean films are at their best when they blur the boundaries between evil and good... no-one is ever purely one thing or the other. And that makes for great cinema. I Saw the Devil is an absolute masterpiece... but it's violent. Be prepared.
17. Bedevilled or Be Devil
(Kim Bok-nam salinsageonui jeonmal)
Buy Bedevilled [DVD]
When her pleas for help are ignored and cause her daughter's death, a woman seeks revenge on the person she blames. Death and revenge... korean films can't get enough of it. Neither can Mookychick. This horror thriller is pretty much a unique genre and it's handled in a unique way. For one thing, it's told from the point of view of someone who is not a central character. For another, it dripfeeds you clever little twists and turns through flashbacks that will leave you guessing and wanting more. Lastly, it's got two REALLY powerful female leads. Oh, it's so much more than just a boring, standard revenge drama...
18. Windstruck
(Nae yeojachingureul sogae habnida)
Buy Windstruck
We're getting near to the end of our list now, and we don't want you to think all the best korean movies are just blood, guts, cops and revenge tragedies. They're really not. Windstruck is a romance that will stay with you forever. An emotional rollercoaster, it's about love transcending death... some people rate it even higher than My Sassy Girl.
19. Breathless
Buy Breathless (2-disc Special Edition) [DVD]
This powerful, brave film centres on a mean old debt collector who starts to see the good in life when he meets a high school girl. It touches on the really painful subject of domestic violence, but sometimes it's really important to watch films like this. Don't be scared. Watch the film. It's time to face the truth.
20. A Moment to Remember
(Nae meorisokui jiwoogae)
Oh, man... purists would be so cross with us if this one didn't get listed as one of the truly best korean films ever. It's a Korean love story about a young couple's enduring love and how that love is tested when 27 year old Sun-jin is diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer's disease. Yes, it's emotional, and yes, you will cry. It's a simple story, but so well directed that it rises above itself to become something beautiful and pure and holy and true, like going to film church. Did we mention you'll cry? Sorry, but it's true - you will.
And on that cheery note... These are, pretty much, the 20 best korean films of all time. From horror to drama to romance to comedy to strange, wonderful films that bust Hollywood genres to become something exciting and new, korean cinema is some of the most expensive-looking, thoughtful and inventive in the world.
We can't wait to see what those crazy-wonderful korean film directors will come up with in 2012...
