Dârin wa gaikokujin (2010)

Worst movie ever

[1/10 · 15 January 2011]

This movie is awful and makes no sense. There is more or less no story and nothing to be excited about. The biggest problem here doesn't seem to revolve around international romance and it's complications, but daily things such as how to wash clothes and dishes. The male lead foreigner in the movie doesn't know how to wash clothes and that makes the Japanese partner doubt if international marriage really is worth it. That is basically what this movie is about. Washing clothes. Couldn't they find something a little more interesting to portray in a movie about international romance in japan? Makes no sense, horrible acting and story, extremely slow paced. Boring. Worst movie ever.

Marathon (2005)

Wonderful, simply wonderful!

Korea is definitely the most interesting movie producer for the time being (and will probably expand even more in the future!), they keep pumping out masterpiece after masterpiece in all different genres recently (taegukgi, my sassy girl, old boy, memories of murder someone?). And this time a hearth warming story about a autistic boy called Cho-won who loves running more than anything. I wont in detail go through the story, you simply have to experience it yourself. But i can say as much as this movie contains everything which makes a movie in this genre good. You will laugh, you will cry, you will get that warm feeling inside your spine.

RUN and watch this! You wont regret it. Go! Go! GO Korea!
