  [HanCinema's Film Review] "Deranged": A Refreshing Slap in the Face
  2012/12/08,
  Film: "Deranged" (연가시 - Yeon-ga-si) Director: Park Jeong-woo Stars: Kim Myeong-min, Moon Jeong-hee, Kim Dong-wan & Lee Honey Review Score: 4 / 5 Also Try: "The Host" or "Haeundae"   Many happily look back at contemporary disaster films such as Yoon Je-kyoon's "Haeundae", Bong Jong-ho's "The Host", and to a lesser and different degree, Kim Ji-hoon's monster "Sector 7", as films that pushed the scale and scope of what was possible for the genre. Biological or otherwise, "Deranged" teases with the boundaries of traditional disaster films, superimposing a refreshing sociopsychological element through its solid dramatic filter of fatherly duty and the 'golden mean' approach to social responsibility. Kim Myeong-min plays Jae-hyeok, a man who makes daily sacrifices in service of his family and their wellbeing. He is initially stern, cold almost, and constantly scolds his ditsy and naive wife (Moon Jeong-hee as Kyeong-soon) and their two children (a daughter and son played by Yeom Hyeon-seo and Eom Ji-seong) for their apparent sloppy behaviour,...More

  [HanCinema's Box Office Review] JULY 2012: Homecourt advantage plays in a hotly contested showdown for the summer crowds
  2012/08/04,
  The month of July started out well for Korean films, as Korean audiences were treated to Park Jeong-woo's "Deranged" early on. The film cleared over a million admissions in its opening weekend and is currently challenging "Nameless Gangster" as the highest grossing Korean film of the year. Although that might sound like a great plan, the much anticipated crime thriller "The Thieves", from director/screenwriter Choi Dong-hoon, proved to be a massive game changer as it racked up over two millions admissions in its opening weekend; all the while stirring up a buzz about how far the film will be able to climb in the charts. There was an equal mix of local and foreign releases this past month, with "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Thieves" leading their respected parties. Along with the final film in the "Dark Knight" trilogy, Marvel's "The Amazing Spiderman" was the other top foreign feature of the month. It was released during the last week of June and is closing in on a cool five million admissions,...More
