Rough Cut Korean Movie Review 2008

A dark, strange and pretty entertaining movie, Rough Cut has everything in it. I still haven’t decided if it’s because of the plot, or because the leading characters are two of my favorite actors.

The Tower Korean Movie Review 2012

I tend to scape catastrophe movies, just because American ones made me loose faith in them. Of course there’s a parallel universe in Korean cinema, where we must fight our prejudices almost constantly. I’m glad that’s the case with The Tower, since there’s a whole new world to discover.

Whenever I see Shin Ha Kyun starting a new production I can’t wait to watch it. Even if it is a complete nutcase or a really sad story. There has not been a single time that this amazing actor hadn’t meet the expectations. Big match is the new movie that brings a great cast to…
