All in Korean
Bong Joon Ho's "SNOWPIERCER"
As a high concept sci-fi epic SNOWPIERCER takes the cake.
Hey-jun Lee's CASTAWAY ON THE MOON
A young man, depressed, tries to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. Instead he washes up onto a small island in the middle of the river and is cut off from the city.
Kang Woo-suk's MOSS
This is the review I posted on Netflix after watching this streamed Korean mystery/thriller:
Tae-kyung Kim's MUOI: THE LEGEND OF A PORTRAIT
This atmospheric and competent horror film follows a young Korean author as she travels to Vietnam to investigate the legend of a haunted portrait.
Je-gyun Yun's TIDAL WAVE (HAEUNDAE)
As disaster movies go this one is pretty good. We get to know an odd group of people and wonder, of course, which will survive When The Big One Hits.
Na Hong-Jin’s “THE CHASER”
Following the success of Silence of the Lambs, movie and TV audiences have been treated to many pale imitations, most of which have failed to excite or provide any serious dramatic interest
Park Chan Wook's THIRST
Plot summary:
* Devout priest volunteers for medical experiment
* Becomes lustful vampire as a result
* Sex/violence/building-hopping/tragedy/ensue
Bong Joon Ho's “THE HOST”
I’s fun to see a decent monster movie again.
Park Chan Wook's “OLDBOY”
While watching this Korean film the word that popped into my head was “Kafka-esque.” Bad stuff happens to an innocent man for no apparent reason and he has to deal with it without knowing why he is being tormented.
