  • [HanCinema's Film Talk] Is Spike Lee out of his depth with "Old Boy"?

    2013/04/27,
    Although its official release date is still a long way off (early October 2013), Spike Lee's "Oldboy" has finally given us something to look at. A poster teaser was recently released that shows little more that twenty red scratches, along with the controversial titling: "A Spike Lee joint" (whatever that means). Indeed, since it was announced that Park Chan-wook's award winning film was to be given the Hollywood 'bump', fans and critics alike have been very vocal in asking the very simple and obvious question-Why?,...More
  • Hwang Jeong-min is a jack of all trades

    2013/04/17, Source,
    Hwang Jeong-min plays a middle-aged father who takes part in a boxing reality show to earn money for his troubled daughter in "Fist of Legend". By Kim Kyung-bin Actor Hwang Jeong-min might not be a typical heartthrob. Rather than a glittering look, he has a friendly, familiar face - but he certainly knows how to use his next-door neighborly appearance to his advantage. Combined with his stunning acting abilities, Hwang is able to play a wide range of realistic characters convincingly. There seems to be no limit to the kinds of roles the 43-year-old can take on. In 2005, he starred in the movie "A Bittersweet Life" as a ruthless boss of a gang and "You are my Sunshine" as a naive country man who dedicates his life to his ill-fated lover,...More

  • "The New World" Opens on March 22 in North America

    2013/03/21, Source,
    A remarkable gangster noir film, "The New World" (2013, Korea), opens on March 22nd. This Korean crime drama, which is influenced by Hong Kong's Infernal Affairs (remade by Hollywood as The Departed), proposes an original take on the genre. It will be released to audiences in 24 North American cities. "The New World" is about a cop who is caught between his professional duty and the challenges of an undercover mission, struggling to complete his tasks without being revealed as a mole. "The New World" features a great lineup of South Korean stars, including Choi Min-sik ("Old Boy"), who plays the head of the Police department, Lee Jeong-jae  ("The Housemaid - 2010", "The Thieves") as Lee Joong-Goo, and Hwang Jeong-min ("The Unjust", "A Bittersweet Life") who plays Jung Chung,...More

Wow! A very sadistic yet interesting movie. Well, Lee Byeong Heon plays totally great. I the scene he comes out from the mud. Brilliant! And yeah, it has a tragical ending.
This movie is god but sad ending :S
