[HanCinema's Film Review] "Man on the Edge": Gangsters and Giggles, Again
2014/11/29
In the spotlight this week: Jo Jin-kyoo's "Man on the Edge"… Last year "Man on the Edge" cruelly missed out on a top ten finish. Almost all the horses were in, and the 3.8M admissions its scored back in January (roughly $25.6M) meant it was looking snug and settled behind "The New World" (10th with $31.4M), but in year's final hour "The Attorney" snuck in and, eventually, finished its case with $36.9M in compensation. "The Attorney" did not so much 'climb' into sixth; rather it impressively, and promptly, inserted itself among 2013's top performers. It was a dramatic departure for Jo's efforts, to be sure, and before last year's record books are taken by time (and 'fringe' favorites such as this forgotten), I was curious to experience how this gangster-shaman crossover managed to weave all its generic threads together,...More

Korean actresses no longer pretend to be pretty, weak, ingenuous
2013/11/11, Source
Korean actresses have changed. They are giving up pretending to be pretty, weak and ingenuous. Kim Sun-ah, model-turned actress who is 170 centimeters (near six feet) tall plays the role of a woman paralyzed from waist down in the movie "The Five" that will be released Thursday. Instead of showing off her slim legs, she rides an electric wheelchair with both legs tied up. A woman who lost her husband and daughter by a murderer, she is a vengeful person. To show such emotions, Kim has disheveled hair, and her face is bruised since she fights with the murderer. Jeon Do-yeon in "Way Back Home" plays a woman who is falsely accused of carrying drugs and is locked up in a jail in a foreign country. She doesn`t give off charm of a femme fatal. Ha Ji-won performs a swordsmanship action at "Chosun`s Angels" that will be released in early next year,...More

2013/08/12
Bong Joon-ho's post-apocalyptic epic "Snowpiercer" and Kim Byeong-woo "The Terror Live" continued their reign of dominance at the top of the Korean box office. Last weekend these two local films claimed almost 80% of the total ticket sales, contributing to record numbers as fans flocked to the theatres to escape the dreaded heat. Despite the abundance of new releases, of both local and foreign flavours, last week's favourites ploughed ahead and once again stole the show. "Snowpiercer" claimed 1.5 million admissions in its second weekend out, snapping up 44% over 1,066 screens around the country. That moved Bong's English-language debut to 6.4 million in total, a sum that is more than good enough to move into up to fifth in the list of the highest grossing Korean films of the year,...More

Lee's popular comedy drama scooped around 1.1 million admissions (41.19%) to further cements itself as the highest grossing Korean film of the year. "Miracle in Cell No.7" is now approaching 9 million admissions, just ahead of this weekend's number two film: "The Berlin File" which also moves onto 5.9 million admissions of its own. Fresh to the charts are two new Korean films in the form of Lee Wonsuk's "How to Use Guys with Secret Tips", as well as Yim Soon-rye's "Run to the South",...More

HanCinema's Korean Box Office Review (2013.02.01 ~ 2013.02.03) February is off with a bang as two Local favourites breached the million admissions mark, together making up more than 80% of this past weekend's ticket sales.

Ryoo Seung-wan's last film was "The Unjust" back in 2010, an epic crime thriller than seemed to hit all the right notes. Ryoo will be hoping his latest will be able to emulate his last films popularity, and with already 2,24 millions admissions under the belt "The Berlin File" is set to do just that,...More

[HanCinema's Box Office Review] January
2013/02/02
It was a hard month for foreign films here in Korea as January favoured three local films that, between them, held a tight grip on the ticket sales. Lee Hwan-gyeong's "Miracle in Cell No.7" may have stolen the show in the last weekend of the month, but it was Kim Ji-hoon's fiery epic "The Tower" and Jo Jin-kyoo's 5th comedy "Man on the Edge" that held that top position until then. In the foreign corner, two adaptations stood out in the form of the musical drama "Les Misérables" and "Life of Pi". The former has grossed $38.6 million over its six week run in Korean theatres, with "The Tower" close behind on $34.4 million,...More

Lee's previous film ("The Champ") struggled at the box office and only collected 535,766 admissions during its run last year. In rising to the top, "Miracle in Cell No.7" dislodged Jo Jin-kyoo's "Man on the Edge" (previous known as "The Gangster Shaman") at the top of the pile and was also able to quell the kids' enthusiasm over Korea's favourite penguin Pororo and his new film: "Pororo, The Racing Adventure",...More
