When Hollywood comes calling for most Asian stars is always an opportunity impossible to pass by. For Park Seo Joon I wished he would have passed right on by the recent MCU movie The Marvels because hoo boy was the movie so chaotic and mediocre (and bombed in its first weekend at the box office) but his role in particular … Continue reading →
Next week on November 10th is the premiere of The Marvels and I don’t recall a MCU movie being as non-buzzy as this one. The talk of the downswing of Marvel movies has been going on for a few MCU movies now probably after Endgame since The Eternals but reportedly The Marvels is tracking at a lower opening than even … Continue reading →
Well this is as trendy of a main four cast as it can get in K-ent at least with the younger gen. The two male leads of the movie adaptation of Omniscient Reader Viewpoint has long confirmed Lee Min Ho and Ahn Hyo Seob but this week rounded out the entire full cast starting with the two female leads who … Continue reading →
So the Korean flick Love Reset premiered earlier this month in October and it wasn’t a major release with big buzz but in the three weeks since it’s done solid at the box office and has reportedly broke even with legs to go further. Kudos to leads Kang Ha Neul and Jung So Min, a drama focused on a soon-to-divorce … Continue reading →
I don’t know if it’s because the Yoo Ah In drug scandal earlier this year was soooooo wild in how much drugs he was using, but it feels like the current Lee Seon Kyun drug scandal has fans just exhausted, ready to write him off but no longer shocked beyond belief. Now the fall out is happening and it starts … Continue reading →
This week kicks off the full scale promos for the upcoming Hollywood movie The Marvels, the follow up to Captain Marvel and another entry into the Marvel Universe films. K-actor Park Seo Joon got a lot of press when he was cast as a supporting character continuing the Korean actors and actresses getting Hollywood roles. But when the first teaser … Continue reading →
It’s day 2 of the Busan International Film Festival and there are press conferences aplenty, a festival within a festival, and also a star awards night. The outfits range from day events to evening out and honestly are so mid I feel like it takes effort to not be eye catching. Kim Seo Hyung stood out for dressing completely against … Continue reading →
The 2023 Busan International Film Festival kicked off this Wednesday evening with a large contingent of stars on the red carpet for the first big award of the night. HK superstar Chow Yun-fat took home the honorary Asian Filmmaker of the Year award and top Korean movie star Song Kang Ho did MC duties alongside next gen top actress Park … Continue reading →
I mentioned its been a lackluster summer 2023 season for domestic K-movies to date but this upcoming one premiering during the family holiday Chuseok season seems primed to lure in audiences. Kang Dong Won may be solely a movie star but he’s not one to wait too long between projects and his next movie is Dr. Cheon and The Lost … Continue reading →
It’s been a slower than usual summer season for K-movies, other than for the 3rd installment of The Roundup: No Way Out topping three weekends at the box office and Smugglers one weekend, it’s been Hollywood movies at the top. The next big name flick to try to lure audiences in will be Concrete Utopia, the disaster movie starring Lee … Continue reading →
I sense an intentional emulation of the Cannes Film Festival red carpet here with the sprawling staircase but since it works so well totally go for the same grandeur vibe. The 25th annual Shanghai International Film Festival opened over the weekend with a grand red carpet gala and so many Chinese and Hong Kong stars in attendance with movies to … Continue reading →
Leave it to grizzly detective Ma Dong Seok and a sequel to ride to the rescue of the South Korean box office. After some handwringing in the industry that the first half of the year hasn’t had a big hit with the only moderate success being The Point Men (Bargaining) in January, this last week’s release of The Roundup 3: … Continue reading →
I don’t think this is a controversy but more like viewers calling out some lazy movie design work. Upcoming thriller movie The Childe (The Gentleman) released a full cast movie poster and K-netizens noticed that it looks exactly the same as the full cast movie poster for The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion. The kicker is that both movies are … Continue reading →
