Man, talk about yet another life taken by COVID-19 that adds to the count of people who should have never passed yet. Korean director Kim Ki Duk has passed away at the age of 59 in a hospital in Latvia. He was in the country since late November to buy a beach home and spend more time there. He apparently … Continue reading →
I came across this recent fashion pictorial with TW-actress Tiffany Ann Hsu and was really taken. She’s an incredibly beautiful woman and I have really enjoyed her vastly improved acting over the years, but what I love about this pictorial is that is really captures the emotional anxiety people have been feeling in 2020. At times balancing so much change … Continue reading →
The feels remain so strong with the receding waves from jTBC drama The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling), even now two years later and I still immediately think of Hye Ja and Joon Ha when I see Han Ji Min and Nam Joo Hyuk together. The two have been hitting the promo circuit this month for their movie Josee, the … Continue reading →
I’m not surprised that K-actor Lee Jong Seok is already lining up acting roles prior to his military discharge but I am more interested in what drama he will pick first. He has selected his first movie and it will be a special appearance in The Witch 2 which is currently in pre-production. It’s the direct sequel to The Witch: … Continue reading →
I never thought there would be ANY possibility of records being set this year in the box office, any box office around the world, with COVID-19 either closing theaters, delaying movies, and keeping audiences at home. Japan has been doing a steady and solid job of keeping COVID-19 from hitting another wave and so has been rewarded with relative return … Continue reading →
Consider it a Black Friday gift to the world from Netflix, if you’re either not out shopping and also not still passed out from too much turkey and wine last night on Thanksgiving. The thriller K-movie Call, originally with a February 2020 premiere date, has been released exclusively on Netflix streaming worldwide. If you have an account, and either love … Continue reading →
Two for the price of one should be the marketing slogan for upcoming sci-fi thriller movie Seobok. Audiences get Gong Yoo and Park Bo Gum like polar opposite flavors of ice-cream as one plays a retired intelligence agent with a medical date with death and the other is the first human clone that gives rise to the possibility of living … Continue reading →
It’s been a week of streaming platform news coupled with some long awaited movie release dates. On the Hollywood front, Wonder Woman 1984 is finally getting released on Christmas Day with simultaneous broadcast on HBO Max. Wish it was on Netflix lol because I pared away HBO a few years ago. On the Korean cinema side, big budget sci-fi movie … Continue reading →
The first posters are out for the K-remake of the Japanese movie Josee, the Tiger and the Fish now simply titled Josee. Reuniting Han Ji Min and Nam Joo Hyuk for the second time in two years after they did The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling) together, the story is about a physically disabled young man and the dependent and … Continue reading →
I think its meta that Park Bo Gum is playing the first human clone since he’s gotten some flack for being too perfect as a robot. Not his acting, just that sweet polite boy vibe that can come across as too good to be true. For the upcoming sci-fi flick Seobok, he may be cloned but he soon gets dirty … Continue reading →
Thank you movie gods for this great treat to come. K-movie Seo Bok wrapped filming earlier this year and is gearing up for a release who knows when and how but oh boy am I still super excited. The male leads are Gong Yoo and Park Bo Gum, the former playing a government agent and the latter the first cloned … Continue reading →
Third time may not be the charm for sci-fi Korean movie Space Sweepers (Spaceship Victory). The movie has been delayed twice now due to COVID-19 shut downs and limitations at movie theaters, first in March and then later again in August. Some Korean movies have premiered and within the context of limited seating still managed to do well, but this … Continue reading →
I believe South Korean movie theaters are open and still following the every other seat blocked out method of social distancing. The summer movie season is over and school is back so we’re going to see more serious and feel good movies now and the first up premiering next week is Pawn (Korean title Collateral). Starring Sung Dong Il, Ha … Continue reading →
