This Week's Movie Releases

The Korean action comedy "Ddukbang Jeonseol" revolves around three fellows calling themselves "no touch".
Some say they're untouchable because no one can beat them up while others see them as legends.

"I play a gangster who can easily take on more than 18 guys at once and who was a born fighter. I think most guys who watch the film can closely relate to the story which revolves around fighting. Women viewers can get a sense of the male world of fighting".

"Between Love and Hate" ("The Unbearable Lightness of Dating") is about a man who struggles to find his place in his relationships with two women.
One woman he wants to date and the other he wants to marry.
The film takes a casual approach in tackling this man's dilemma.

"I play a character called Young-wun who has a fiancee but cannot reject a bar hostess who flirts with him. He is locked in a dual perception".

"I play a character called Yon-ah who knows that Young-wun can't marry her because of his fiancee. But she loves being with him despite their uncertain future. They have fun together, and don't try to put restrictions on each other".

"United 93" is an emotional docudrama involving the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.
The film's about the fourth plane on which the passengers banded together to subdue the hijackers.
Written and directed by Paul Greengrass, this docudrama is based on the last recording from the pilot cabin and phone calls made by passengers on board.

Next is the Hollywood thriller "The Sentinel".
Michael Douglas plays a Secret Service agent for the first lady of the United States.
Douglas is blackmailed for having an affair with her after his long-time friend and fellow agent is murdered.
He is relieved of his duties but pledges to prove his innocence and foil an assassination plot on the president.

From Japan comes the romantic comedy "Train Man".
The movie is based on the true story of a Japanese geek in his early 20s who stops a drunk man from harrassing several women on a train.
He eventually dates one of them.

Last up is "Between" an independent documentary about shamans by filmmaker and professor Lee Chang-jae.
The film won enough raves at this year's Jeonju International Film Festival.
