'Cyborg She' : My Sassy Girl-Turned-Robot

| Source | 2009/05/07 | 0 comments | Permalink Share Buzz

Director kwak Jae-Yong urges viewers not to compare his Japanese movie "Cyborg She" to his previous production "My Sassy Girl". But the latter comes to mind when watching "Cyborg She". The robot-girlfriend in the film, played by Japanese star Haruka Ayase, is like an updated version of the "sassy girl", who was played by Jeon Ji-hyeon. This bizarre character seems to have no limits when it comes to eccentricity.

Jirou, played by Keisuke Koide, resembles the innocent boy who was played by Cha Tae-hyeon in "...More

'Cyborg She', One Man's Perverse Fantasy

| Source | 2009/04/30 | 0 comments | Permalink Share Buzz

By Lee Hyo-won
Staff Reporter

Director kwak Jae-Yong has been giving less than stellar performances ever since the South Korean megahit "My Sassy Girl" (2001) and the mellow romance "The Classic" (2003) ― and he makes an effort to redeem himself, rather fruitlessly, in "Cyborg She".

The Korea-Japan joint production nevertheless held a top spot in the Japanese box office for five weeks and sold over 110,000 DVDs. The movie translates into real action akin to Japanese sci-fi anime, and is not without its charms, particularly with some striking visuals and top stars Haruka Ayase and Keisuke Koide giving endearing performances.

But this reporter ― having loved Kwak's "Sassy" and ...More

PiFan adventure closes with prizes

The 12th Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival (PiFan) came to a close Sunday Jul. 27 after a thrilling 10-day run. This year's fest brought 1978 official guests to the city of Bucheon, a record number for PiFan, helped along by the addition of its first project market called Network of Asian Fantastic Films (NAFF2008).

PiFan's always exciting official competition section saw 12 high quality films vying for cash prizes, with top honors this year going to a stand-out Korean film that has already shaken up local audiences and won a slew of awards. Sleeper hit The Chaser, directed by Na Hong-jin in his feature debut, captured the "Best of Puchon" prize along with two more awards, making it the night's big winner.

The festival's international jury also handed "The Chaser" a Best Actress prize for Seo Yeong-hee, who played a prostitute brutalized by a deranged serial killer. Another special jury from the European Federation of Fantastic Film Festivals (EFFFF) named The Chaser recipient of its Asian Award. EFFFF also gave special mentions to Lim Pil-seong's fairy-tale horror "Hansel and Gretel" and Yoshihiro Nishimura's Tokyo Gore Police.

The Best Director prize went to Swedish art house vampire film, Let the Right One In, by...More

most of his movies would definitely make you watched twice.. It's because of its bizarre telling of the story.....   he basically merge the idea of having the past, the present and the future of the mainc characters in a movie...   i like he's movies hope to see more of it this year....
