Unbowed (2011) – A Powerful Legal Drama Based on True Events

If someone had told me I was going to enjoy a film about the theme explored in Unbowed, I wouldn’t have believed them. In fact, the few American movies I’ve seen in this genre never truly captivated me. However, Unbowed is different. The key to its success lies in the main character and how his…

Marathon Korean Movie Review 2005

Marathon is one of those films that appear by chance on your “To Watch” lists, and you start them without much expectations.

3-iron Korean movie review

3-iron Korean movie review

There are times that I find myself immersed in movies that I don’t expect. 3-iron starts with an out of the ordinary situation. Its rhythm is slow, the plot is intriguing, and the starting point is completely odd. We’re going to be dealing with domestic violence and the silence that comes with it. An absolute…
