Stream Classics to Latest K-Movies & Shows at OnDemandKorea

In Cinemas This Weekend

And finally tonight let's see what's new at the movies this week.
Looks like it's a good mix of Korean and foreign productions with one for fans of Tom Cruise and Robert Redford and Taiwanese director Ang Lee.
Lee Jeewon has our preview.
We begin with an omnibus film from Korea.
Composed of three episodes, "Fantastic Parasuicides" is a movie from three directors, Park Soo-young-I, Jo Chang-ho and Kim Seong-ho that distributors say takes imagination to the extreme.
The first episode is about something that everyone might have dreamed about in school or rather the absence of it!
The second contains black humor about crime.
And the last story perhaps the quirkiest of all is about a romantic and elderly gay man who on his birthday tries to save a pretty boy.

Next is a Hollywood drama starring Oscar nominee Tom Cruise and Oscar winner Meryl Streep.
They are joined by another Oscar winner Robert Redford, who also directed the film.
The three characters in different parts of the United States impact each other's lives while depicting the human consequences of war.
Redford is a professor whose students join the battle in Afghanistan while Cruise plays a presidential hopeful on the verge of giving a bombshell story to TV reporter Streep.

Last on our list is an espionage film by Taiwanese director and Academy Award winner, Ang Lee.
Tony Leung, who played one of the lead characters, said Lee is like no other.

"I've never worked with a director like him before. When I was doing a scene where I needed to cry, after the first take, he was crying. He just feels what you feel and you just feel warm. It's so different".

The story begins in 1942 Shanghai, where Ms. Mak played by screen newcomer Tang Wei reminisces about her past.
She was just a college student in a drama troupe when she gets involved in a plot to kill the country's top Japanese collaborator, Mr. Yee.
The Chinese port city of Shanghai was under Japanese colonial rule during World War Two.
The movie earned director Lee his second Gold Lion in three years this year, the highest prize in the Venice Film Festival.
