Yongseoneun eupda (2010)
Very entartaining
South Korea crime thrillers are so much better than USA Hollywood stuffs. The plot is good, the acting is good. Thankfully the moments of melodrama and slow motion are very few. You know they love to push on the emotions. This is a revenge movie with a cool plot twist. I did not enjoy the character of the police man taking the piss all the time of the young police woman. A little too cliche. But this is also a 2010 movie. Maybe it is simply aging badly.
The strange awkward sexy appreciation sentence on the dead body the doctor says at the beginning....{i was wondering what is it happening here?} then at the end becomes more meaningful. Even if they could have skipped it completely.
And another thing I love about SK thrillers/crime/drama is that they are not afraid to kill the main character.
He bian de cuo wu (2023)
I still don't know But I liked it
Spoiler: I still do not know who is the killer. I am pretty sure it is not the madman :) Apart from this "minor" details in a crime story the movie is very very good! The movie was shot in 2022 but the cinematography and colour grading are great and you really think you are watching something that was made 30 years ago. The main character is cool and the wife is a rebel woman ahead of her time! I love to watch movies where I don't know what is going to happen. And this movie did not disappoint. I also enjoyed the acting and the dreams and hallucination sequences. I also enjoy watching movie where I am not familiar with the actors, so everything has an extra degree of reality. You forget you are watching a movie and you are really absorbed into the atmosphere and the story. And yes I loved the rain. Moody wet China! I recommend to watch it!
The Murderer (2023)
Enjoyed this crime comedy
Come on people, don't be too harsh on this movie! It is a funny cool crazy movie. Not an arthouse masterpiece! It is perfect to distract and relax on an evening with popcorn and a beer or whatever you would like to drink. I am sure that anyone who has been on holiday or worked in Thailand is going to enjoy this movie a lot. You are going to understand many of the jokes about farangs. If you never set foot there maybe you will find it less funny. It is part crime, part comedy. The plot is kinda cool, with a final surprise. I am not going to reveal anything. There are couple of weaker moments - fillers, especially the final reunion husband and wife. But still I enjoyed it and you should give it a go too :)
Geomijip (2023)
Funny unsual maybe a tiny bit too long
I saw only two reviews on this title and I felt compelled to write mine too :) The movie is good fun, a comedy about making movies, inspiration, failure, and the big massive problem of creating another masterpiece after you made one in the past. The movie is maybe a bit too long, it has some slow moments. And then in the last 20 minutes it picks up rhythm and energy for the gran finale ! Lots of surprises. All the time, for a moment you might think Homer Simpson wrote the script. Maybe there are other layers of meaning in the black and white movie. I enjoyed the actors and the music and the clothes. It has a very nice vibe, it is able to transmit the passion, love and energy necessary to make a movie and the happy atmosphere on set. Go watch it! Give it a go :)
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023)
Starts well then goes mmmmmm
I admit I am undecided about stars I would like to give...is this show a 5 or 6 or. 7? I watched the first episode, without reading anything about the story, i liked it and I started watching the others. I enjoyed the first 3 episode. The fourth episode I asked myself "what is it going on here? What are they doing?". Then I kept on watching curious to see where the story would go. Especially what will happen with the monsters. I felt that they added lots of unnecessary scenes. Like expanding and extending and very little actions. Give us more monsters please ! :) As some other people wrote already here, some of the dialogues were bad. I love Sci Fi and monsters and silly theories but at the same time I felt that the story was not well developed, they didn't know how to end and resolve in a cool creative way. Only 10 episodes so, yeah, why not? Give it a go. But do not expect that feeling of "I really saw something very cool I need to tell all my friends!!"
Nostalgia (2022)
Beautiful movie, disappointed by the end.
The story feels real, an immigrant coming back home to look after his mother and think about when he was young. The movie is a very well shot. Very good cinematography. The actors are good. You really want to walk in these roads and lanes. Drive a scooter in Naples. Great Casting too, with all the young people.
But I was very disappointed by the end. I found it somehow simplistic and/or rushed. Like "oh the movie is already long enough lets end it here right now". Was that the only direction for the story to go? I was expecting a more "open" ending, where you are actually wondering what is happening to the main characters.
Deo geullori (2022)
only Eight Episodes and I need season TWO now!!
A friend recommended this, I am not into series that have too many episodes. - to me 20 is too many with very very few exceptions - This is only eight episodes so I thought "ok why not", and I was hooked from the first episode. Great story, you really want her to win and finish her job. The abuse scenes are terrible you hope that after these years, this gang feels remorse and regret. But Actually they have none. They are all easy to hate. Maybe a lit too easy. So we all think they deserve to lose a bit of their privilege. Very clever and well made and full of interesting subplots. Good cinematography and music. Now my only complain is, I really want to know what happens next ! ! I Give me season Two Quick Quick !
Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012)
Not what I was expecting
I saw this movie in January 2022, without reading anything about it, inspired by the movie poster. I was expecting a fantasy, sci fi light happy movie. I ended up enjoying this a lot. The way it is shot, the acting, the story, the soundtrack. I would recommend this to anybody who is looking for something different.
Seongnan hwangso (2018)
Action and Fun
Just finished watching this! You can read about the plot on many other reviews. I can add that it is a good mix of humor and action. The hero has a strong punch. And he punches all the bad guys! No jumping or kickboxing or karate tricks . Good old punch in the face. As somebody else wrote, the kidnapped wife is not very likable, but you can feel he is madly in love with her. I enjoyed the movie. It went superfast. I was never bored.
Berserk: Ougon jidai-hen III - Kourin (2013)
Not Happy
After seeing the first two episodes, (and enjoying them), I was not expecting the third act to go in this direction. I felt like they run out of ideas and went into this totally different horror fantasy direction. But it seems that the story is simply following the original Manga. So maybe real Fans would have known what to expect but for me I felt like I was watching a different show.
