She’s … Continue reading Honest Candidate Korean Movie Review
If you liked Robert Downing Jr’s interpretation of Sherlock Holmes in A Game Of Shadows, then rejoice because The Kings Case Note is the same film – same characters, same tone, and a plot heavily influenced by The Hound Of The Baskerville, plus some generic “intrigue in the court” plot thrown in. Likeable characters, occasional humor, just a touch of Wuxia, a pretty solid production … Continue reading The King’s Case Note (2017)
DERAILED is another dark action film from South Korea that becomes hard to forget after it ends. It’s a film which is so real in presentation that it’s hard to believe it’s really just a fictional film. It has got a high amount of action and it’s shot extremely well, but it’s a different kind of action film which doesn’t intend to provide merely escapist … Continue reading Derailed (2016)

A truly spectacular and emotional performance by the two main actors, Seo Yeaji and Kim Kangwoo, who remarkably kept us engaged till the very end, completing with a heart tugging act that made us reach for tissues to dry our eyes. Seo Yeaji once again proved to us how good an actor she is by convincingly portraying Soojin, an amnesiac woman who’s vulnerable, suspicious, yet … Continue reading Recalled (2021)

If you wanna know how good this movie is, well let me tell you. Have you ever watched Miracle Cell No.7? It is that good, or even better (because it’s about a grandma and granddaughter relationship, which i personally prefer because my grandma has my entire heart.)
