It is the only Korean film that was included among the top five ranking, as of Monday. The film takes place in Bongcheon-3 dong, a deprived area in Seoul where this aggressive middle-aged squad lives.

| By Lee Hyo-won Staff Reporter "Ajumma". The word can be roughly translated as "auntie", normally referring to married women or those past the rosy bloom of their youth. In certain contexts it can be derogatory or even sexist, but it's also a fond term for all the mothers of the world. Director Kim Sang-man celebrate ajumma power in his directorial debut, "Girl Scout". But there are, of course, no girls to be found here. Think of a pitifully amateur Charlie's Angels with four generations of women, from a 20-year-old to a grandma in her 60s, joining forces to get their money back from a swindler. Our main ajumma is played by Kim Seon-ah, the lovable heroine of "My Lovely Samsoon" ("My Name is Kim Sam-soon"). Mi-kyeong is a 30-something-year-old divorcee trying to make ends meet for her young daughter.

In late April, Iron Man arrived in the Korean cinema, smashing the box office into very profitable pieces. In mid-May, Prince Caspian took the baton and kept up the pressure on Korean competitors. Last weekend, whip-wielding Indy joined the Hollywood-only party, roped in plenty of movie tickets sales.
The bombardment of Hollywood films dragged down the share of Korean films to a record low. But the bleak development was widely predicted since only a couple of new Korean releases were made. June might be slightly different, as eight Korean movies are set for release. "Girl Scout", directed by Kim Sang-man, will hit theaters on June 5, featuring well-known actors such as Kim Seon-ah, Nah Moon-hee, Lee Kyeong-sil. The film will test whether the audiences still have an appetite for a chase-the-money drama with fewer funny moments than publicized. Waiting in line for the June 12 release are four Korean films: "Life is Cool", "Beyond All Magic", "Spare" and "Like Father, Like Son". ...| More | |||
