The upcoming one-two punch of sequential live-action Attack on Titan movies is getting closer to meeting the audience, with the summer movie season in full swing and the cast ramping up promotions. Last week the four leads Miura Haruma, Mizuhara Kiko, Hongo Kanata, and Ishikara Satomi joined their movie director Higuchi Shinji on a press event at the location where … Continue reading →
While this isn’t a movie that I think needs a remake, I’ll chalk it up to the nostalgia factor kicking in for making me actually curious about this project. China has confirmed a remake of the 1997 Hollywood movie My Best Friend’s Wedding, which wasn’t anywhere near Julia Robert’s breakout or best work but was still a hit when it was … Continue reading →
Considered me optimistic after being wowed by the just released official theme song MV for the upcoming Time to Love, better known as Bu Bu Jing Xin the Movie. The movie is being marketed for the intense love triangle romance rather than the throne battle, with it scheduled for release on August 7th just in time for Chinese Valentine’s Day … Continue reading →
Just because Jeon Ji Hyun did one mega hit K-drama without any indication she’s planning anymore small screen forays doesn’t mean she’s not acting. She’s just back to her day job is all, being one of the biggest K-actress movie stars of her generation. Her next movie costars two of the biggest K-actor movie stars to boot in Ha Jung … Continue reading →
Filming is nearly wrapped for upcoming C-movie Go Lala Go 2, the popular novel adaptation of the sequel to the same name hit novel and movie from a few years ago. I’m not complaining that it’s a whole new cast since the three leads are basically three of my favorite Taiwanese entertainers ever in Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou, and Bolin … Continue reading →
I’m starting to wonder if Suzy and Lee Min Ho went the candid route in admitting their relationship three months ago when outed by Dispatch because they basically couldn’t hide their rosy romance glow. The stars were out in full force yesterday at the premiere of upcoming horror fantasy K-movie The Piper (Korean title Guest), with none more shining and … Continue reading →
I almost never write about horror movies even though it’s an Asian film staple mostly because it’s not my thing. I also write more about dramas and there really isn’t a horror drama genre aside from the occasional dip into supernatural flourishes in some dramas. In my younger days I loved and watched tons of horror movies, Asian and Hollywood … Continue reading →
The promotion and watch experience for upcoming K-movie Beauty Inside is sure to be odd, and I don’t mean that in a negative way. The cast is filled to the brim with popular and critically acclaimed actors and actresses all in a guest-starring context, playing the same character of male lead Woo Jin and doing so with limited screen time … Continue reading →
The popular shoujo manga Itazura na Kiss (It Started with a Kiss) has officially crossed over to the zombie undead territory. How else to explain why this sweet but flimsy yarn is getting yet another live-action adaptation? Is anyone else still clamoring for the story of a dim-witted but persistent high school girl and the way she wore down and … Continue reading →
Usually a fan goes from reel to real, watching a drama or movie OTP and wishing they would get together in real life. This might be the first case of real to reel, watching a real life set of maybe soul mates and definite best friends finally cross that line solely onscreen but delivering plenty of catharsis for a twenty plus year … Continue reading →
I may be in the minority when it comes to anticipating the hotly awaited live-action movie version of the hit manga Attack on Titan. I find everything about it awesome so far in all the previews and casting, from pretty boy Miura Haruma as lead character Eren Yaeger on down. I come from the premise that it’s nigh impossible to … Continue reading →
I remain massively conflicted about upcoming Chinese-Korean movie After Love. On one hand it stars Yoon Eun Hye, one of my favorite actresses from any industry. On the other hand it also stars Park Shi Hoo, an actor I was mostly indifferent to in the past and now am positively not ready to watch him act onscreen anytime soon. In weighing … Continue reading →
Upcoming C-movie Go Lala Go 2 just upped the stakes majorly with the first look at the competition for leading lady Lala’s heart. Starring Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou, Bolin Chen, Michelle Chen, and Nana, the movie is a sequel to the hit film a few years back and both are based on a series of same name popular chick lit … Continue reading →
