The Crow vs Oldboy
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the death of Brandon Lee. RIP
Comic books aren’t just for superheroes—or American readers. Tonight, we pit two classic revenge flicks against each other in a fight to the bloody finish—The Crow (based on the comic by James O’Barr) and Oldboy (based on the manga by Garon Tsuchiya and Nobuaki Minegishi). Who is the better director—Alex Proyas or Park Chan-wook? Which film will take home the most Golden Idols? Get your rage on—and let’s talk about movies!
