  [HanCinema's Film Review] "Mira Story"
  2015/01/17
  On the basic level "Mira Story" is just a standard travel documentary. Choi Mi-ra goes to Jeju Island mainly for sightseeing purposes, although the barge she's on is also carrying a quantity of books intended for use in library kiosks in the small town of Gangjeong. Gangjeong is the kind of small peaceful village that travelers often love to go to- it's a friendly place with beautiful scenery and a simple layout. This makes for a welcome respite from the clamor of city life,...More

  [HanCinema's Film Review] "Mot"
  2014/11/14
  In rustic Korea, a band of students celebrate their final winter vacation. Then something bad happens, and the remainder of the runtime is devoted to the basic moral conflict about how these young people fell into a bad situation and didn't exactly act particularly noble in the immediate aftermath. There's nothing too extreme or vicious here- technically speaking the moral moment of truth is caused by inaction, not a deliberate effort. Still, that doesn't make the characters themselves feel any better about the situation, so they just wallow,...More

  [HanCinema's Box Office Review] 2014.10.03 ~ 2014.10.05
  2014/10/06
  Fresh blood mixes things up at the top… There was a lot of activity over the weekend as fresh features disrupted what was starting to look like a very tranquil top ten. "Whistle Blower", "Slow Video", "Scarlet Innocence", and Jungle Shuffle" were all released last Thursday and captured close to 60% of the total ticket sales (58.3%) between them. Of the four, it was Yim Soon-rye's "Whistle Blower" and Kim Yeong-tak's "Slow Video" that made the biggest waves as they slotted into first and second respectfully. That meant that "The Maze Runner" and "Tazza: The Hidden Card" descended the chart to make way, but some fell harder than others,...More

  [HanCinema's Film Review] "Splendid But Sad Days"
  2014/09/26
  The men and women portrayed in "Splendid but Sad Days" live in complete harmony with the natural world. They're not new age environmentalist hippies, though, far from it. They're old folks who live lifestyles that are too new to be traditional and too antiquated to be modern. The main focus is on a woman who goes fishing everyday in a fairly unremarkable looking boat and then comes home to her cranky husband and their heavily worn outdoors couch,...More

  "Tazza 2" keeps its roll going… "Tazza: The Hidden Card" had a fantastic week and managed to extend its lead at the top of pile. Kang Hyeong-cheol's comedy drama attracted over 540K filmgoers (26.7%) over the weekend to move its total tally now to 3.1M ($24.6M), which makes it the ninth highest-grossing Korean film of 2014 having just overtaken Director Chang's "The Target". Kang's closest competition came in the form of the American musical drama "Begin Again" and its 351K (17.1%), but otherwise the top ten remained largely unchanged except for Frank Miller's neo-noir "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" creeping in at ten,...More

  Fresh Faces move in as "Pirates" and "The Admiral" take a bow… Kang Hyeong-cheol's comedy drama "Tazza: The Hidden Card" slotted straight into first over this past weekend by dislodging "Pirates" at the top of the box office pile. The film is the second feature based on Huh Young-man's manhwa of the same name, and after eight years fans can finally enjoy this second, star-studded, instalment. "Tazza 2" claimed over 836K admissions (28.3%) over 890 screens to take gold with the help of actors Choi Seung-hyun, Shin Se-kyung, Kwak Do-won, Lee Honey, and Yoo Hae-jin. Last weekend's number one, Lee Seok-hoon's period romp "Pirates", seems to have finally reached it peak as it slipped to fourth with just 275K (8.7%),...More
