Asian films

Favorite movie ever. Great cinematography, enthralling plot, and Oh Dae Su is an amazing character. Also has one of the best fight scenes in history.

I've seen this about eight times, and it never gets old. More eerie than scary, it has a very different look and feel than most asian horror films, or even horror films in general.

Great acting by Hwang-hun Lee, great directing by one of my favorites - Ji-woon Kim. Stylish, cool, tragic. We need more movies like this.

Everyone is so charming in this (well, except Blond Wig Woman... seriously, what was so intriguing about her?), and it's definitely the most accessible of Wong Kar Wai's films. I didn't even mind hearing California Dreamin' 80,000 times.

Lovely to look at. The story confused me a little at first, but with a little thought it's actually pretty straightforward.

Some nice twists... much better than better than I expected, and it's become one of my favorites.

This creature is the cutest thing I've ever seen. It has some really sad parts and they abuse CJ7 a bit too much for my liking, but it's a really cute movie.

Very well done, engrossing story.

Funny. Feels a lot like a typical American romantic (dark) comedy, but the actors make it very fun to watch.

A really fun little movie, great music. Du-na Bae is awesome.

A gorgeous, (intentionally) campy and over-the-top Western spoof... I loved it.

Overhyped for sure, but not terrible. The ghost makeup is ridiculous and kept pulling me out of the story... it was distracting. Other than that, the story is interesting.

Parts of it are interesting, but it just didn't work as a whole.

I know this has some really creepy moment in it, but I can't remember what they were. Months after seeing it, I mostly remember it being silly but kind of fun to watch.

A Korean mix of American Pie and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Surprisingly funny, and I don't even like gross-out college kid sex romp movies. It turns somewhat serious toward the end with a botched abortion, but still a fun movie overall.

There are a lot of good, even great things about this movie, but in the end I think it fails.

If you have PMS, watch out! Tearjearker alert. Very sweet, though. Hye-kyo Song is adorable.

Don't bother with the "MTV version" that's on this disc. It takes a fun movie and just makes it stupid.

I heard really good things about this, but it was too slow in places, and too long overall. Has some funny moments, but needed more of them.

It's unfortunate that these kinds of movies get billed as horror films... because they aren't. This is mostly a drama about two teen lesbians in a Korean girls school. It was ok, but the "scary" elements kinda ruined an otherwise interesting story.

The acting is amazing, but it was all just too much for me to take. Watching these characters is difficult and painful and by the end of it, I needed a serious hug.

Box was lovely, but felt somewhat empty.

Dumplings was twisted, but I really enjoyed Bai Ling and I would love to see the feature length version.

Cut was the best of the 3... funny at times, great visuals, and very layered. Pay close attention to the ending of this one, there's more to it than most seem to realize.

These short films aren't meant to be "scary" so if that's what you're expecting, don't bother.

I saw this sitting around in the video store forever, and didn't think much of it. Then I noticed that it was done by the same guy that did The Last Life in the Universe (which is a wonderful film), and then I found out that it was a dark comedy, which you would never guess from just seeing the cover. It's one of the more enjoyable dark comedies I've seen in a while and I recommend giving it a chance.

I'm not easily scared by movies anymore, but this one made me jump a few times. Definitely worth seeing. Also, Ananda Everingham looks a LOT like Orlando Bloom. Only better.

Probably wouldn't be most people's cup of tea. Very slow and almost boring until the very end. Then, lots of gore and tension.

Not bad, but I didn't like the ending at all.

Very strange movie, but really not that hard to understand. Subliminal messages and trend-following pretty much sums it up, imo. I think it's helpful to know something about Japanese society before you can get everything that's going on. Lots of metaphors/symbolism.

The special effects are low budget and laughable at times, but otherwise very entertaining.

This movie must be pretty bad, because I watched it a few months ago and I can't remember a thing about it. I remember thinking that it was weird, but that's about it.

I don't even know what to say about this movie. I spent half the time with my hands over my face saying, "oh jesus". It's disgusting, disturbing, and shocking. And very funny.

Boring and pretentious. I'm not even completely against movies that are boring and pretentious, but I just couldn't take this. Although I did enjoy the the storyline about the yakuza boss.

A sweet little romance with some really funny moments. If you can identify with the awkward geek hero of the film, you'll like it even more.
