The Naked Kitchen (DVD) (2-Disc) (Korea Version)
The Naked Kitchen (DVD) (2-Disc) (Korea Version) DVD Region 3
(1)Our Price: US$25.99List: US$32.99Save: US$7.00 (21%)Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysRelated promotions:September 16, 2009 Naked Art and Cuisine“The Naked Kitchen” certainly features the art of food craft and cuisine, but the main focus here concerns the triangular relationships of Mo Rae, Doo Rae and Sang In with predominate force. Adult nudity? Well semi removed clothing happens early on in an art gallery, but its food close ups and romantic folly mainly. Aanywaay, right from the onset this film shows a high wealth of quality with some great photography and stylish interiors by Mo Rae and Sang In’s living quarters, that one thing’s for sure, the living rooms aren’t naked. In fact the interior settings are as rich and scrumptious as Doo Rae’s food delicacies, and by this movie’s golden ambiance and semi-minimalist style, you’ll feel comfy and homely, as well as having a rumbly tummy. The movie does have a certain art appeal (without being too arty) and if you love the combination of high cuisine, cosy interior design as well as a romantic drama (with additional semi naked bits in an art gallery) its a prefect film to watch.
Ji Hoon is back to “Antique” cooking mode again (does Ji-Hoon really have personal culinary skills?). But JH’s Doo Rae is more concerned with Sang Mi’s wife Mo Rae than worrying about his food miniatures on roomy white platters, after getting fruity with Mo Rae at ‘that’ art gallery (good job no speed artist was present to paint ‘Passion in the Gallery’). A sensitive subject though. Doo Rae’s ‘subtle’ measured and contradicting interpretation of Sang Mi’s childhood to adulthood ‘love’ for Mo Rae is definitely one verbal slap across the chops. Certainly Sang Mi’s loving commitment to Mo Rae is more solid gold than the transitory ‘love’ passion Doo Rae has that would dissipate when the novelty wore off, and the film’s outcome showed how perpetual erratic emotions can turn relationships into distant friendships. Foolishly, yes, Sang Mi let it all happen (although he does give Doo Rae a bit of pasting for his cheeky imposition) and like in “Madeline” Min Ah ends up pregnant again. But other nuances here. Funny how Mo Rae and Doo Rae share a name; fate correcting an error in Purgatory? Any road, this is an excellent quality film with great acting, great food, lovely music and gorgeous interiors. Sang Mi and Mo Rae have serious relationship issues, but at least have plush living quarters to fret in. Min Ah is great ^^ (a Korean actress I liken to Bae Du Na) and together with Ji-Hoon and Tae Woo (he’s been in JSA and Saving My Hubby) it’s a good threesome. Cast that is!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

Madeleine (DVD) (Korea Version)
Madeleine (DVD) (Korea Version) DVD Region 3
(13)Our Price: US$13.99List: US$36.99Save: US$23.00 (62%)Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysRelated promotions:September 15, 2009 Memories of a Monthly RomanceI thought Madeleine was the name of the lead female character, but is actually a nostalgic bakery delight that evokes romantic reveries for lead blonde boy Ji Suk. Nostalgically this being a 2001 K-movie it also features a number of actors in early parts including Ha Jung-woo from “The Chaser” as an ex-flame of Hee Jin’s and E.T. Teacher Soo-ro Kim as the ‘Madeline’ baker. But main players are lovely Min-ah Shin (the sexiest ‘fairy’ in K-films) and actor In Sung Chou from “The Classic” with Ye-Jin Son.
Hairdresser Hee Jin (Min-ah the fairy) after closing up the hair salon bumps into old school flame Ji Suk on his late night paper round. Being head strong Hee Jin doesn’t beat about the bush asking Ji Suk to date her for a month and only gives Ji Suk a shared bike ride home to consider her date proposal. Ji Suk agrees to date for a month after they ride bicycles in the rain together. Being a hairdresser Hee Jin also changes Ji Suk’s hair color to a fetching blonde look (what is it about blondes with Min-ah, first Hyuk Jang in “Volcano High” and Cho Seung-woo here). But Ji Suk and Hee Jin are chalk and cheese. Hee Jin loves her computer game ‘Fortress’ where Ji Suk prefers classic literature. He likes to walk quietly through life; she’s the sprinting go-getter. Ji Suk though meets up with another school friend who asks him to attend her rock band concert, afterward asking Ji Suk of his ambitions and present dating situation. The girl having similar arty tastes causes Ji Suk to consider a date with her, but not revealing his monthly agreement with Hee Jin. After a school friend’s re-union meal Hee Jin then learns of Ji Suk’s fondness for the ‘other’ girl, feeling betrayed. But the real complication is when Hee Jin discovers she’s pregnant with Ji Suk’s child. Even more so when Hee Jin’s ex-boyfriend also believes he’s the father. As you can imagine, one life to the full monthly date here.
A well-written film of innocent school day infatuations revisited again by these two young adults, ‘living’ in sweet love and facing heartbreak and tragedy by their own actions, but experience leading them to mature love, happiness and understanding. It’s a ‘hopeful’ not a pregnancy-abortion film (a tragic outcome relates to an accident ironically), and the ‘sex’ is only revealed later by Hee Jin’s pregnancy. Music is excellent and the live ‘rock’ songs give an added luster. Romantic film, but caution should never be thrown to the wind.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Love Connected (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)
Love Connected (DVD) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region All
(1)Our Price: US$14.99Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysRelated promotions:September 11, 2009 A Winner VD Rom-Com from PacoI think out of all the Paco Kong frantic romantic films to date, this is probably the second most accessible. Although still firmly entrenched into HK youth romance and of its many foibles and frustrations in finding that perfect love match and inclusive of some usual bitchiness of its predecessors, “Love Connected” is a more sensitive and dare I say milder type. Well, midler(ish) as it still sports padded cell kookiness with I Love U Boyz’s fiasco with drop dead gorgeous Goldfish played by Miki Yeung (whose…really quite nice actually) when she appears like a teenager’s dream come true. Boyz win the Wide Eyed Goldfish Expression Look competition here.
The film features five romantic situations relating to Valentine’s Day that are interwoven throughout the movie, flitting from sketch to sketch and back again, fulfilling all five romances by wrap it up conclusions. Certainly some twisted surprises. Varied themes here with Joe (Joey Leung) and Fong (Kay Tse) trying to breathe life back in their dry romantic love life with a Val-Day slap up meal, Fai (Sammy Leung) juggling three women dates as his illusive twin brother (with three separate phones for each girl). Terry (Terry Wu) falling in love with his shy work colleague Debbie (Chelsea Tong), whose not quite as shy as he thinks. Flower seller Bobo (Stephy Tang) prompts cupid to hit the mark with Wai (Justin Log) a musician who gives his CD album to Bobo, but gets a crestfallen rejection. Also slapstick antics from Dragon and Tiger wanting a VD date from the internet (praying to the goddess Theresa Fu for the deal – oh, have some milk and cookies and calm down lads) when the vision of Goldfish appears to their goldfish look surprise. Valentine’s Day as never been so…eclectic.
I really enjoyed “Love Connected” and even with the usual bitchiness, daftness and frantic rom-com a Paco film is, it balances sensitively. I liked Stephy Tang’s story which probably is the only positively fulfilling romance here to make your eyes water and give that ‘awwe’ feeling at the end. But added twists to the Valentine’s Day fiascoes make this interesting. Sammy Leung is getting really good at this comedy malarkey and his multi-dating scenes with a air hostess and two other fillies is very funny. Chelsea Tong is cuddly cute as the bubbly Debbie (pity she’s a right little madam at the end). Worth the buy. Stephy T – hope you’re well over your 2NE1 now and fighting fit and healthy.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

The Scent of Love

(8)Our Price: US$15.99List: US$34.99Save: US$19.00 (54%)Related promotions:September 7, 2009 Reflections of a Sad Loss – R.I.P. Jin Young JangI’m partially reviewing this film here due to the sad death of actress Jin Young Jang who died from stomach cancer on 1st September 2009. This came as a sudden shock to me, even though I’d read about Jin Young’s terrible illness last September when she was first diagnosed with cancer after a routine annual health check up. I had thought and hoped she was going to improve as I’d read after Christmas 2008 Jin Young had left the hospital where she was being treated and was watching movies, going to a concert and even mounting climbing. I hoped on my review of “Sorum” that Jin Young would truly get better. Its in hindsight now that I feel that the mountain climbing Jin Young made could have been her expressive need in getting closer to God, realizing and accepting that her mortal life was short.
The strange thing about her passing is why I have mentioned Jin Young’s death relating to “Scent of Love”, as not only does Jin Young perform as cancer sufferer Jae Hee here, her character also had the very same cancer type that as now sadly took Jin Young’s life. As if real life in some way was mirroring Jin Young’s performance as the ill Jae Hee as a means of reflective expression. With a positive similarity though, where Jae Hee finds a loving man who cares for her 100% in Hae-Il Park’s character In Ha, Jin Young was also supported by a man who truly cared and loved her right to the very end. He helped Jin Young mountain climb and they became married. “Scent of Love” will become a very sad and unusual viewing experience, of where a young Korean actress who sadly at 35 was taken away from this strange world by a horrible disease that similarly blighted her character here.
It’s a film to ponder, wondering what such coincidences mean. All I wish though is my condolences to her families, friends, colleagues and fans and say that however very sad and terrible this is, surely there’s a positive outcome because of this strange life mirroring art coincidence. Someone loved Jin Young in her hour of need, just like In Ha loved Jae Hee. Jin Young was certainly a good actress (see “Blue Swallow”, “Sorum” and “Over the Rainbow”) and a lovely woman. If you read this though and have never heard of Jin Young before, this is a very loving but sad movie to watch, which in 2009 as become the saddest movie in K-dom by Jin Young’s untimely tragic death. R.I.P. Jin Young Jang – you now fly like a blue swallow over the rainbow eternally.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Game (Normal Edition)(Japan Version)
Game (Normal Edition)(Japan Version)
(2)Our Price: US$31.49Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:September 7, 2009 Love Game and Plastic SmilePerfume’s second CD “Game” continues their previous wall of disco synth, cute vocal harmonics and computer ‘game’ sound, with some added electro calypso beats and synth rock. Certainly excellent songs here especially the electro catchy “Plastic Smile”, the synth-rock “Game”, and the calypso bass laden groove of “Butterfly”. Songs are written and arranged by Yasutaka Nakata of Capsule, so you can be assured of some cool electro synth pop here. “Polyrhythm” opens with funky but familiar Perfume melody, but “Game” really comes to life with track 2’s “Plastic Smile”. A highly rhythmic, catchy and super hook ‘single’ with a beautiful refrain that will stay in your head for weeks. Its classic Perfume for fans that will want to play to friends to get them grooving and converted. “Game” though really rocks (air guitar stuff this) and gives the ‘wow’ factor and appreciation in buying the album! It’s more industrial electro likened to “Electro World” with similar riveting synth rock beat and much heavier groove. With opening industrial electro rhythm, pulsating indie steel guitar, bursting in at 0:29 with a fantastic heavy synth melody and great vocal refrain this that just blows you away. Listen to this on a headphone set and on-line gaming world and you’ll be in synthetic ‘game’ heaven. Settling down with “Baby Cruising Love” this more moderate beat cruises along to a bright fuzzy synth beat and a cute vocal melody.
“Chocolate Disco” is quick paced with a cute child like melody and a lovely fun disco refrain with repeated titled vocal. T6 is slower with a bright vocal refrain and moderate rhythm beat. T7 cranks up the BPM with a nice electro stomper rhythm. Its quick paced and brought to mind the sounds of 80s synth makers Buggles and Landscape by the swift disco rhythm. “Take Me Take Me” features lovely 60’s type vocal refrain with a 1-2-1 disco keyboard rhythm and synthetic acoustic guitar sound. T9 as quite a spacey upbeat melody with more bright vocals from the girls. “Butterfly” although a delicate title, surprises here with a great calypso bass heavy synth rhythm and a sure fire dance song. T11 is familiar Perfume with a highly charged disco beat and finally “Puppy Love” is a bit of synth rock with a Japanese traditional melody amidst the Perfume sound.
“Game” continues Perfume’s previous cute harmonic vocals and sound with some great tracks and no doubt a cracking album! If you like Perfume also try J-pop electro band Capsule.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

Blossom Again (AKA: Sarangni) (DVD) (2-Disc) (Korea Version) DVD Region 3
(1)Our Price: US$13.99List: US$19.99Save: US$6.00 (30%)Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:September 3, 2009 Illusions of First LoveI can see why “Blossom Again” causes confusion as the plot’s fused with a mixture of mirroring characters, reality and reveries. With similar scenario to K-movie “Green Chair” and HK movie “July Rhapsody”, where a tutor falls in love with a younger subject, here female maths tutor In Young (Jung Eun Kim) with schoolboy Suk Lee (Tae Sung Lee), all here though is not what it seems. Characters are mirrors of each other having parallels of past and present, and emotionally determined to fulfill first love. The boy Suk Lee reminds In Young of her first love who she’d separated with due to limited expectations (and whose name’s also Suk Lee to indicate movements of the strangely coincidental), and although In Young lives with another man (no, not another Suk Lee!), she falls in love with Suk Lee M2 due to his similarities to In Young’s youthful first fancy. In Young’s live-in is more a brotherly confident, who In Young probably wished Suk Lee M1 to be, and confides to him about sexual feelings she as for Suk Lee M2. But a schoolgirl becomes a love rival to In Young, similarly falling in first love with Suk Lee M2. The girl’s crush parallels In Young’s own first love, shown in analogous juxtaposed reveries. In Young and the girl become infatuated with Suk Lee M2, with In Young dreamily and enviously wishing she had the latter’s youth to regain her ‘lost love’. Emotional contortions get even more complex when Suk Lee M2’s twin brother replaces this infatuation after Suk Lee M2 tragically dies.
For me “Blossom Again” shows how first love is limiting, by creating emotional and self entrapment if it fails. First love works if sustained and natural, but if a person relates only to memories of a failed love they cannot yield, that person can turn to delusional substitutes. Dreamily painting ‘someone’ as an unreal proxy for first love. A proxy too with a different individuality. In Young here cannot let go of her first ‘failed’ love, and finds reflected 'love' (delusion) in Suk Lee M2. The odd ending seems to be a parallel delusion passion; the crestfallen schoolgirl also unable to move emotionally away from Suk Lee M2, wishes to be re-born as Suk Lee M2 so to re-bond with ‘first love’. Blossom Again? Which is In Young’s wish! What a love loop! O.O Acting’s good. Jung Eun always gives her honest best and is a charming actress to say the least and Lee Tae Sung does well, but seems more suitable in grittier parts like “Gangster High”.Did you find this review helpful?

Colorful Tokyo Sounds No.9 (Japan Version)
Colorful Tokyo Sounds No.9 (Japan Version)
(1)Our Price: US$14.99Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:September 1, 2009 Staaaaay Colourful in Aira’s Tokyo No 9!Anyone who loves Japanese electro pop trio Perfume, may also have heard and come across the delights of Aira Mitsuki, whose electro pop and dance world certainly mirrors well that of the Perfume girls. Also for anyone who loves electronic J-pop and dance club electronica will find this 6 track a gem of electronic delight. Main single “Colourful Tokyo Sounds No 9” is the foremost track (with additional mixes and instrumental version) and having that distinctive Perfume sound, but with quality equalling and complimenting that of Perfume. My only slight worry is the song’s refrain is a bit too much like “Electro World” by Perfume (fantastic track - check that out if you’ve never heard it), which could mar this excellent single. But as Aira’s sound and production deflects from Perfume at times, it compliments than merely copies. In any case more Perfume sound can never be a bad thing, right? Track 2 is a great cute upbeat pop number, and somewhat different to Perfume. Fuzzy electronics, drum beats and a wonderful sweet refrain make for a highly catchy song.
Where this CD single increases its worth is by the excellent two additional mixes of “Colourful Tokyo Sounds No 9”. The Lava Elect rip remix (Track 3) as a more different electronic house sound to the original. The song structure is all there, but with a far lesser Perfume influence. Spacey electronics, electro acoustic guitar and some bassy sound refrain, fantastic! The Disco Punk Remix (Track 4) isn’t actually as punked up and fast as Aria’s more recent “Change My Will” song from her “Barbie Barbie” single, but a great industrial dance beat with a haunting background synth reminiscent of Gary Numan. With German influence and a thumping drum beat, if you like cool industrial electronica with added disco beat, this ‘disco punk’ mix caters here. Finally an mp3 mix and instrumental for tracks 5-6. Pity alternate mixes to track 2 are absent, but nevertheless a great little single here. Highly recommend to electro pop dance clubbers and and J-pop lovers alike with a balanced commercial and indie style to interest electronic genre fans. I only discovered Aria’s music recently and prompted by the fact that she reflects Perfume’s stuff. But I love this as much as Perfume’s and have bit the bullet and brought most of Aira’s other CDs, too (like the cool “China Disco”). Synth pop and electro pop, all here in Aira’s great CD!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

September 1, 2009 Bada makes waves with cool ‘hook’ pop collectionBada certainly joins the K-pop girl band sound here with an album that could make her the ‘mamma’ of the K-pop darlings, being an ex-S.E.S. singer. Although Bada’s been involved on the musical front lately, she’s certainly returned with an excellent 4th album, which could be one of the best K-pop albums of the year. The songs are mostly upbeat 80s and 90s electronic contemporary dance fused with modern K-pop and having ‘hook’ type song melodies like SNSD’s “Gee” etc. “Dilemma”, “Dance Mission”, “Honey Honey” and “Generation Next” are so candy pop that if you’re a Wonder Girls, Kara or SNSD fan, you’ll no doubt love these ‘hook’ songs. Three ballads “Women Shed Tears”, “Silky Love” and “You Know” are also quality Ulvaeus-Anderson musical types. Bada’s vocals are pleasantly girly with clarity and light sensuous passion and sumptuously catchy and endearing. Bada even sounds cutely reminiscent of Chinese darling Baby Zhang on the funky “Generation Next”. “Honey Honey” is extremely catchy and if Kara fans may wonder if its a cover of Kara’s own “Honey”, its actually a different song but having similar addictiveness and no doubt Kara fans will love this song. I could imagine Kara performing this with Bada on a K-TV show who could then sing Kara’s song afterwards; community love sort of thing.
Other ‘hook’ songs are “Dilemma” and “”Dance Mission” with such saccharin sweet rhythms and cute refrains you’ll be regularly hitting the repeat button. I liked the song “Mad” with its synth pop and r&b rap melody and Bada’s high refrain of ‘I’m soo ma-a-ad!’. “Reach Out” is the rock pop of the bunch, similar to light J-rock and reflective of 80s songs by Belinda Carlisle or The Bangles (who the latter Kara adopted with their recent song “Take a Bow”). Two final songs are a special rap version of “Mad” and the bonus Latin flavored song “I Am” with Eugene. Final track features bloopers afterward, so don’t stop the disk before the final seconds expire. Great album from Bada. She was also a good friend of late actress Eun Joo Lee and loved how she helped her sing once. If you love Kara and SNSD’s hot ‘hook’ songs and desire more similar cute melodics to fill your world, Bada is definitely your gal with a jam packed album of upbeat, catchy synth pop and so sugary sweet your ears will need a dentist check up afterward. Packaged DVD sized digi pack with a nice booklet included.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

Freakhouze - Smooth & Hard
Freakhouze - Smooth & Hard
(1)Our Price: US$13.99List: US$18.99Save: US$5.00 (26%)Related promotions:August 28, 2009 Great Electronic House + 2 R&B songsI first became familiar with DJ Memphis (aka Freakhouze) by his collaboration with Brownie on her excellent lounge dance techno album “Brownie Speaks – Phantasms Electro Lounge”. Here Freakhouze as a full house of sound to play with of mainly electronic and dance instrumentals and two songs of R&B soul and disco. This album certainly fulfilled my electronic expectations by tracks “Far Away”, “Mind Control” and “Oscillator”. Wonderful slabs of dance synth. The album is as much an upbeat electronic album as it is a club house techno one, and like always the DJ tag is only the cliché street motif as Freakhouse writes some good songs here. Songs have variations. “Return to Love” as a lovely piano intro before the beat box electronics and “I’ll Be There” and “Timeless” are nice R&B vocal songs. The track “Mind Control” also features a central rhythm that could suit K-pop quartet Brown Eyed Girls.
Beginning with “The Cosmos” a spacey little intro instrumental with radio effects and house drumbeat. “Return to Love” as a bright piano melody with drum machine beat combined to make for a quite pleasing and warming instrumental. “I’ll Be There” is the first of two songs with vocals co-written with Brownie and sung by Dia. The song is a ballad format mixed with some soul R&B and electro disco. The second song “Timeless” features again vocal by Dia and begins with a 70s Isaac Hayes disco beat, but fused with 90s house techno, funk and some K-disco and R&B singing. “Far Away” is the first of the real electronic techno sound. Crossover electronic music and house beats. Great electro rhythm, sci-fi like with some distortion filtering on the main melody line. I liked the echo piano sound into the reprise beat. “Give Your Love” as a strong drum machine beat, looped vocal of ‘give your love’ from a distance to full clarity, eventually kicking in with a body popping techno dance melody. “Mind Control” is a great funky electro song with a great central main melody Brown Eyed Girls would sing (and dance) nicely into. “Oscillator” is more slabs of hybrid techno dance and electronic music sequencer stuff (reminded me of the 90s German electronic duo Fanger and Kersten’s Mind-flux stuff). Finally there are remixed versions of the two songs and “Oscillator”. The “Oscillator” UJN mix I’ll warn as the ‘F’ word repetitively used on its own. No biggy, but not always suitable in certain situations. But, nevertheless, another really good dance techno album to recommend.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Barbie Barbie (Japan Version)
Barbie Barbie (Japan Version)
(1)Our Price: US$13.49Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:August 28, 2009 Operatik Aria’s Punky electro popFor a good idea what Aria’s music sphere is like, simply think J-pop electro band Perfume. With a CD cover showing a synthetic looking Aria as if she could possibly be HAL's (from 2001) favorite girlfriend, and some stylophone type synthesized vocals, all bring to mind the popular electro J-pop trio (although I don’t think Perfume dated HAL). First song “Barbie Barbie” (track 1) brings Aria’s regular synthesized vocal within a upbeat Perfume like disco electro dance beat. “Change My Will” (track 2) though is a somewhat more radical Perfume sound, shifting to a fast (very faassst) rapid slab of techno, as if you were racing across a sci-fi barren landscape at full throttle in a futuristic hover racer. It’s energy electro punk and the most interesting track on this mini album. Rapid-fire electro drum beats, sci-fi sounding techno and Aira’s machine girl distant like singing, put this more within indie electro dance. “Freedom Star” (track 3) brings back the more familiar Perfume sound with rhythmic slabs of synth pop beats. Both sadly yearning and upbeat. More computerized robot vocal from Aira, but quite cute though. “Happiness Land” (track 4) is a slower mid temp beat with a 60s and Motown melody materializing amidst the main electro pop and drum beat.
The rest of this album comprises of remixes and mp3 mastering versions. “Freedom Star (Toyko F*nk ade Likkk)” (track 5) gives the original another unusual remix treatment of blistering synth sounds, gritty electronics and a funky indie sound. Some mad vocal loops and dubs make for a quite, well, mad sounding mix. “Change My Will (Modular Modular remix) (track 6) begins with stuttering drum beat and pulsating bass drones all getting together to make for a even more insane dance beats to the original fast version. Techno underground type house mixes and dance club electronics.
Interesting mini album. Certainly for anyone who likes Perfume. This CD isn’t a bad starting place from Aira’s electro circuitry album catalog either, with the fast manic ‘punky’ synth sound of “Change My Will” as a good highlight here (and a step away from the usual Perfume pace), and a good reason to try this. Packaging is a single sized slim CD in an acetate transparent sleeve with some robotic Persocom pics of Aria.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

4 Bia (AKA: Phobia) (DVD) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3
(1)Our Price: US$10.99Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:August 25, 2009 Excellent scares and humour“Happiness” and “Tit for Tat” are certainly the terrifying of 4Bia’s offerings, followed by comedy camping lad scares in “In the Middle” and a shrouded bouncing corpse on a turbulent aircraft in “Last Fright”. So scares aplenty to begin, spooky laughs afterwards. “Happiness” is first and a brilliant film. Lonely girl Pin lives in a bleak high-rise apartment and while recovering from a taxi car accident and heavy in debt, decides to cheer herself up by SMS messaging for a boyfriend on her hand phone. Pin soon receives an anonymous reply and cautiously begins messaging her new admirer. After seeing the word ‘guy’ appear on her phone screen and happily appreciating this, Pin sends a phone photo of herself asking her admirer to do likewise. But her caller returns Pin’s own photo. A puzzled Pin messages ‘where was your photo’! But the admirer tells Pin he was right next to her on the photo she’d sent. Pin looks nervously over her actual shoulder seeing...nothing. Thereon Pin fretfully exchanges more SMS phone messages to confirm the identity of her caller with increasing tension mounting. As he caller arrives at Pin’s apartment a jump out of your pants conclusion awaits.
In “Tit for Tat” a gang bully a schoolboy after he’d revealed to a teacher of the gang’s drugs stash. The gang beat and abduct the boy, accidentally causing the boy’s death by misadventure. Tables turn when the ghost of the bullied lad returns to punish the youths with black magic and demons. This is the grimiest and goriest of 4Bia with social misadventure turning into grisly supernatural horror. Yellow visuals and jerky frantic quick cut photography also reflect some disturbing reality. “In the Middle” concerns 4 boys on a camping holiday who get very concerned when one lad haunts the others after drowning in a raft accident. This is a ghost story with very humorous dialogues. “Last Fright” is of a female flight attendant who attends a wealthy princess on a flight to Phuket, but accidentally kills her by a food allergy boob. Also having an affair with the princess’s husband, the flight attendant then guards the princess’s shrouded corpse on a return flight. But due to the attendant’s extra marital sin, finds the ghost of the princess giving her some punishable grief. Although only two are real horrors, the contrast of humor works well. “Happiness” is brilliant and the actress as Pin was great. But all films are good here. This DVD version as a full set of English subtitled extras.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

But lounge electro house beat for your relaxed pleasure is the game here. This reissue of Casker’s 1st is a mix of regular sounds to many, but to reiterate its familiar bossa nova rhythms (track 2 anyway), drums n bass, disco electro pop, electronic weirdness and dub effects, vocal loops, all superbly crafted to relax you for 50+ minutes from your busy life.
“The Planet Built with Steel” features subtle industrial electronic noise effects and late night steel twitters (the electronic sort). After “Cross the Roads” intro of noises and talking effects, T2’s upbeat bossa nova soon gets the dance floor ball rolling. Repeated vocal loops, electronic sounds, house dub mixing and tinkling keyboard all add to the rhythmic ingredient. “1103” as gentle electronic guitar and vocal over a drums ‘n’ bass dance beat. “Nowhere” is more leftfield dance with industrial electronic weirdness, drums n bass, vocal samples and even a telephone dial out sound. The flux of technology for modern living perhaps. “Luna” features gentle keyboard intro soon kicking up a fuss with funky drums ‘n’ bass beat along to echo sounds, guitar and Young Jin’s lovely main vocal. “Skip” steps up with a moderately paced drum machine beat and 80’s synth style (Landscape came to mind). Track 7 is a more unusual, moderate and heartfelt piece. “Discoid” is just that, a 70’s era disco night beat dance rhythmic. Full of disco indie poptronics and dance floor funk. “Complex Walkin’” more funky rhythm for house lounge lovers. “Alice” has a gentle poppy handclap start into a highly rhythmic dance house techno beat. “Vague” is a lovely sweet song with a gentle melody, drum and vocal; quite emotional and relaxing. Finally, two remixes (fantastic “Discoid” Astro bits remix) and new song “47”, which as usual Casker electronic weirdness but the nearest to a ballad here. Quality richness from from JL and YJ here.
For similar lounge techno, a collection of Korean rhythm setters is featured on a great compilation CD “House Sessions” with songs by Casker, Humming Urban Stereo, House Rulez, Dawn, Lowprofile, Kid-B etc and in two sections of lounge and electronica. Also try Brownie Speaks and Symmetry for more gentle dance lounge.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Yes, it’s really that good! Actress Nuttamonkan Srinikornchot is brilliant as the highly disturbed Ming as too is Anuchit Sapanpong as her equally disturbed childhood friend Buud. The horror is played out in a terrifying and disturbing nightmare world, amazingly kept tight to its plot outcome and fastens you right up inside the surreal madness up until the final end release.
Ming can see ghosts of the dead in the spiritual world and plagued for 15 years by visions of a pursing ghost ‘monster’. Ming’s horror manifested after a childhood trauma had caused Ming to block it from her mind (mental denial replaced by false memories) and she perpetually flees the ‘ghost monster’ of her forgotten childhood by moving from one location to another. But as Ming lodges at a boarding room where a murder had took place, Ming is forced to pursue the truth behind her inner demons and her dark blocked out childhood memory. Buud, determined to find the truth behind his father’s death, learns of the whereabouts of his childhood friend Ming at a sanatorium, and eventually finds himself sharing past horrors with her.
Visuals and atmosphere are hauntingly surreal, frighteningly intense with psychological imagery very intelligently and intricately used. Sometimes oddly scenic and beautiful. With terrifying apparitions and a grisly hospital of blooded corpses, all reflect Ming and Buud's overwhelming post traumatic disturbances. Their chilling isolated terror is acutely felt and the lost state of place between worlds is incredibly haunting. It’s a crazy train ride through a nightmare world of dead spirits and deeply disturbed minds for the whole 102 minutes. Hellish indeed. But by the conclusion this fractured nightmare scenario eventually comes into clear plain sight. “The Spiritual World” could top “Shutter” and is as powerful as Korean horror “Hansel and Gretel”. It'll be too traumatic for some, so I’ll warn of the psychological horror intensity. I nearly weed myself with this. But all finalizes in a human story of forgiveness and saving grace. One of the best Thai horrors of high intensity rarely seen in Asian movies. Scary!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

August 15, 2009 Kara rev up good glam 80s K-popNo doubt Kara’s “Revolution” as that 80’s melodic synth pop disco feel alongside pleasant modern Korean dance R&B pop sensibilities. “Wanna” is a powerful electro dance song similar to some of B.E.G. and After School songs. Others like “Let It Go” and “Take a Bow” are also very highly techno rhythmic! Very upbeat album this. Certain songs could have kept more to the Wanna-Revolution sound. But like BEG’s “Sound G”, this also slips into generic pop formula. But its good, funky and Kara are a nice bunch of gals (as are BEG et al). I found opener “Mister” a more generic pop ditty. But “Revolution” comes to life with “Wanna”, certainly the ‘hit’ with surging powerful electro beats and bright and groovy melody and vocals. T3 is a slower ballad with sythn drum and bass. Another nice song that flows well but lacks bite somehow. T4 is a modern K-TV drama type song with pleasant vocals and bass-beat electronics. “Let It Go” is the second main thumbs up track reflecting “Revolution”. A bit of Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love”, Wonder Girls/After School. Definitely the complementing track to “Wanna” (its ‘B’ side). “Take a Bow”, “Aha” and T8 finalize with three 80s styled upbeat disco synth bubblegum pop, with very catchy refrains and wonderfully bright and bouncy melodies. Finally, instrumental versions of “Wanna” (which could be a great sci-fi film theme) and T3.
If you have the Revolution Pretty in Pink LE but could pass on this version, I’ll mention that this is a nice chunky booklet digi pack edition, very like GG’s ‘Gee Genie’ latest - plenty of Kara photos. A better Kara image here, too. A revolved and a moderate version of their dazzling primary colors “Pretty Girl” look and far more appropriate. Not too blingy party bubblegum and not too staid and conservative. Kara are meant to be a fun pop outfit though. It’d be nice to hear Kara members write personal lyrics on the next album. Heard about that ghost hand on inkygayo recently. Kara - you should write the “Helping Hand” song or perform a cover of R. Dean Taylor’s “There’s a Ghost in My House”. ^.^ Ghost? Probably some quantum mechanics hiccup! Anyway, a very good upbeat 80s disco-synth pop album here with so much dance its Kara’s ‘move’ album for sure. It caters for song expectations with only some generic and slightly weaker songs to stop “Revolution” from being excellent. “Wanna” and “Let It Go” are techno dance, with the last 3 songs capturing that great 80s spirit of teen bubblegum pop.Did you find this review helpful?

Butterfly Jolin (CD + MV DVD) DVD Region All
(1)Our Price: US$24.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:August 13, 2009 Jolin’s sweet butterfly and great beats!There’s one thing about Jolin’s albums, you can certainly rely on them to feature some squarely upbeat synthonics and electro dance beats. By past J techno pop albums “Dancing Forever Concert Edition and Remixes” and the recent “Agent J” (especially the fantastic title track and “Tacit Violence!) I can certainly see why Jolin is the 'into the groove' queen of Taiwan. Plenty electro 90s and modern dance pop here, too, with “Hot Winter”, “Butterfly”, “Slow Life”, “The Shadow Dancer”, “Real Man” and “Love Attraction” all in the Jolin vocal dance pop format. Being another rounded album throughout slower emotional songs and variations are included with the Blondie Motown beat song “Love Attraction” and slower ballad songs like “Parachute” and “Compromise”.
I noted some songs to be cover versions here (I recognized “Real Man” – I think), but the production and song set doesn’t’ detract J’s groove. Even though a sort of ‘Pin Ups’ cover album, it seems strong and varied in Jolin’s style to go along with the above popular albums. My only suggestion though is that Jolin’s transformation into the butterfly image may not be as strong as “Agent J” for wider appeal (although there is the 'butterfly effect', I suppose). Still all chameleon colors are worth investigating. “Hot Winter” and “Butterfly” are certainly the groove masters here and I’m sure songs to be hot numbers live on Jolin’s future concert tours. Also liked “The Shadow Dancer” with its nifty synth disco and mild calypso beat along with the rhythmic disco dancer “Slow Life”. Of course its Jolin’s gentle and distinctive singing vocal that puts the J in the music.
Sorry to hear of Jolin’s back and leg injury's lately. Hopefully J will be fighting fit soon (steady with those high kicks, gal). Heard about J’s 200 garment designs ‘to do list’ too. Blimey, this is one busy girl (Excessive Illustrator and Photoshop use for 200 clothing designs must have melted J’s computer by now!). Being one of a number of “Butterfly Jolin” versions, this CD-DVD set is the best space saver version (allows you get in your room to listen to it on your CD player) with the MVs and a lovely photo book.Did you find this review helpful?

(1)Our Price: US$13.49Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:August 12, 2009 Sexy, gory, leggy, bloody, funny…nursesIt’s not difficult to see why “Sick Nurses” is the new Asian horror cult movie. Its sexy with leggy stocking clad nurses, fast, funny, gory with decently used horror effects, as a daft but good plot but more than anything keeps to a roller coaster pace from beginning to end. If you like Asia horror, you’ll love this. Tawan a love jealous nurse is stabbed to death by her nurse colleagues for frantically wanting to reveal that their noble doctor Tar is selling illegal dead bodies on a black market (would you trust this lot with even hypodermics?). After Tawan’s murder her body is left in cold storage for seven days in the doc’s car boot. But as the seventh day approaches to midnight, tortuously supernatural horrors begin to happen to each of the other nurses. “Sick Nurses” is mainly told in none linear flashbacks within an alternate ‘looking glass’ hospital playground of horrors, leading up to fuller reasons for Tawan’s murder. After their bad deed, the narcissistic and ‘seven deadly sins’ infected nurses are then individually plagued by a revenging silent banshee, which causes the nurses to have hallucinatory terrors relating to their personal obsessions (materialism et al), gruesomely displayed within the mad dark surreal nightmare representation of the hospital.
For a major part the spookiness is quite farcical, with fetish clothed nurses getting scared in lampooned ways by the vengeful ghost girl (looking like a blend of Sadako trademark eye and long black hair and female X-men Mystique). This ominous blue ghost succeeds in getting the hapless comedy nurses to strangle themselves, get strung up by some rapid hair growth, have blooded teeth cleaning sessions, head butt elevator walls and have their ‘infected’ dark blue limbs suddenly turn against them, to make for some dark but daft satire. But as the film progresses the silly scariness gets more gruesomely bloody (a razor blade mouth mutilation and dismembered limbs in a red bath of blood for instance) as the plot thickens (as well as the blood). Although gory, its still moderate say compared to horrors like “Tokyo Gore Police”. Albeit dating back to 2007, it bought to mind EXTE Hair Extension, Korean horror drama “Coma” (by supernatural time zone bits) and “The Wig” due to a similar outcome (but not the hair bit) and, yes, maybe a little Silent Hill with some hair faced nurses. But a Tai movie well made, making for some great silly, crazy horror satire.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$12.49Usually ships within 21 daysRelated promotions:August 12, 2009 Lu wants his mum (which one?)One things for sure, if I was little Lu (ZouYanwen) and discovered I had a mum like Fan Bingbing I’d run towards home as fast as blurred legs can go and then show her off to all my school chums. But, alas, little Lu of “Home Run” hasn’t ever seen or known his mother, due to his dentist father’s estrangement from her and Lu only dreams of meeting his mum. Lu’s father (Chapman To) plans however to find a new mum for Lu, by an introductory date with a lady flight stewardess in hope she could be his new wife. But when TV producer and presenter Li (Fan Bingbing), who hosts a regular reality show called “Home Run” where young children have to find their way home from a certain ‘lost’ location for character building (or child abuse depending how you look at it), Lu gets roped into the game. This happens when Li is unable to find a child and also having grim ratings for the show, needs to boost them pronto (Li could have presented the show wearing only lingerie, but there you go). So thinking outside the box, Li calls Lu’s father asking for his son’s assistance (have a guess whose Lu’s mum). But when Lu is left alone while his father meets up with the flight stewardess, Li swoops in like a bird of prey with her TV crew and a tempting ice cream, to get Li quickly on the Home Run show. What follows is an endearing, funny, Disney type movie about a cocky and clever child wanting to just find his cuddly mum (at one point making a ‘bums the word’ statement!), but becoming the centre of social attention by the reality TV show. The audience becoming ever intrigued by Lu’s revealing background.
No doubt a family film aimed squarely for a female audience who will certainly want to cherish little Lu here. Personally I found Fan Bingbing more cherish able, but that’s my male biased opinion. The sweetest part of the movie as to be when Lu asks his mother to kiss him, on both accounts with Fan Bingbing and the flight stewardesses. Now there’s a lucky young actor who gets to kiss two beautiful actresses (on the lips twice!). No wonder Lu’s got a constant smile! The outcome is a bit dreamy and logical concerning Li’s vocation as the other main aspect of “Home Run” are the trappings of fame and star quality, with Li causing fan hysteria due to revelations that she may have a ‘normal’ life with a child and husband. Cue sudden TV audience in fan assisted hysteria. So yes a very good family film here (and ZouYanwen needs a laurel of greatness for landing those kisses).Did you find this review helpful?

Its Friday night lets watch a…sad movie! One thing for sure, “Basic Love” by the three protagonists mixed, pensive and tragic love woes, may leave you concerned with the positive romantic final. The painful tragic sacrifice and hindered relationship woes make here a ‘good’ ending only truly ironic, with heartfelt love concluding with an uncertain and unfulfilled relationship pushing towards maturity of understanding, at best. Love union shouldn't only be about having the ‘right feelings’ slotted into present and correct anyway. Still, “Basic Love” is a poetic growing pains type cinema from Oxide Pang worth seeing. Mostly a mood piece than plot focused; here three bonded school friends Ling (Elanne Kwong), June (Janice Man) and Rex (Rex Ho) share illusive personal feelings about love and death. At final gradation day Rex, a member of a rock band, performs a moving piano piece for the graduates and what becomes a love token to Ling or June. Both Ling and June have personal thoughts about love and the future (even a intimate camp fire kiss), with Rex at the center of things, and paradoxically withholding unspoken love feelings. A sharp emotional turn happens when Ling is revealed to have leukaemia and admitted to hospital but tries to keep her disease concealed. Ling’s ill health though opens up the trios love concerns.
Ling unable to commit to a loving relationship due to her illness, of June’s love for Rex and Rex’s love for the dying Ling, are friends who wish not to hurt the other, but remain confused and hurt in love. By ‘crucial’ subjective complicated soul mate concerns and Ling’s illness override Ling, June and Rex’s objective clarity to ‘see’ clearly what they truly should mean to each other as basic friends. Love happy? They're confused. Essential logic? Focused love? The fuzzy edged camera shots can reflect the blurred blind love surrounding the centrally focused one-track ‘crush love’ emotion, or maybe a central focus of basic love. Acting is inspiring. Janice is quite seriously mysterious (even in the making of), emotionally introverted and maturely pensive in her ‘quiet’ role. Elanne puts in strong emotional despair and feelings as Ling and Rex’s acting compliments both girls. The added OST CD with main piano theme makes for a really lovely score. In ways “Basic Love” shares a premise with “Lover’s Concerto” with Eun Ju Lee, Ye Jin Son and Tae Hyun Cha.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

After an excellent mini last outing with “My Style” I was anticipating this album quite a lot. “Sound G” gets straight into the energy action with “Glam Girl” keeping up the momentum of electro pop beat right up until track 5, with the last four songs having a more slower, ballad and usual k-pop format. Although “My Style” mini album (for me) as the edge on this full album (a really good song set there), “Sound G” is no doubt another great offering from the B.E.G. “Glam Girl” is certainly a strong and groovy synth pop funk (‘hit single’ written all over it), epitomizing the K-pop and cinematic glam world of modern Korean entertainment. “Abracadabra” also as an immediate strong electro beat, and the mature and powerful dance song here (MV says it all!). Liked the vocal ‘do you love her/me’ refrain; very impassioned 70s vocal glam. “Jung Dok” is more R&B funky hip hop, but having a strong soulful refrain. “Candy Man” as some darker undertones, but compliments 80s and 90s funk with stomping upbeat electronic sound and sultry house disco (all wrapped up in k-pop layers of influence and transition). “Moody Night” as a sultrier sounding Motown influence with a bit of Wonder Girls ‘get up’ repeat to brighten things up.
As tracks 1-5 are upbeat funky soul electronic K-pop that project the sultry mature image B.E.G display on the MV to “Abracadabra”. But things contrast with tracks 6-9 which are more playful, cutish and ballad form that loosen up B.E.G’s. sexy image. Even Mi-Ryo raps in more sympathy on ballad “Mos Ga” (T7) than leaving you cowering in the corner with her usual powerful and distinctive rap vocal (Mi-Ryo gives BEG a good trademark edge). The albums card book cover also as a more indie style feel (the photo is totally different to the one shown which is the cover of the inner booklet) showing B.E.G. in moody, even a little punk as well as candy-bling style. BEGs ‘edge’, though opens them to more wide spread appeal. Second CD comes with mixes which are good, standouts for me being Saintbury translates ‘Hold The Line’ and Fraktal translates ‘Oasis’. Overall “Sound G” makes its mark with the first five songs as good upbeat funky electronic passion melodies, settling back into more everyday K-pop by the last 4 new songs. But if you’re a K-pop fan (especially girl bands), don’t over look this album. ‘Glam Girl’ and “Abracadabra’ are great, too!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$13.99List: US$18.99Save: US$5.00 (26%)Related promotions:August 1, 2009 Fantasitc mix of electronic, bossa nova and jazzAfter Brownie’s brief intro, “Breathing” gets things under way with an instrumental jazz-bossa nova beat; tom toms, double bass, keyboards, strings, French accordion pacing a wonderful rhythmic melody. With bird song intro “Rainy Garden”, also a bossa nova introduces Gaichio’s full singing attention with nice upbeat easy listening, jazz-lounge beat. “13” is the first big techno rhythm lounge beat, with catchy and alternating melancholic vocal. T5 is quite haunting with eerie echo repeated sample vocal. A lonely song somewhat, but with synth drum beat, cymbal-clap electronics still keeps things melodic and upbeat. “Run on the Rail” is great, an instrumental with electro drum, lounge style, clap-cymbals and brilliant space techno melody with haunting echo vocals. “Late Afternoon” is more lazy lounge style with Gaichoi’s smoochy jazz vocals over melodic drumbeat, acoustic guitar and electronics. “Ave Reo Branco” as a strong single beat, acoustic guitar, techno and funky Latin American sound. Mid way a haunting saxophone sequence repeats like fog warning amidst the techno house and bossa nova. After a breakfast sound effect bridge piece (a bit Pink Floyd’s Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast?), “85%” bops to yet more bossa nova with guitar, vocal and smoky jazz club ambiance. “Labum” as tom toms, Hammond keyboard and a Latin beat sound, with occasional background vocal. “Solitude” albeit melancholic by title, features upbeat bossa nova electronics and great vocal melody and saxophone refrain. It surges forth with such wonderful melodic bossa nova electro rhythm. Saxophone and children’s voices break the melody here and there. “Love Smile” is a mixture of electronic, bossa nova, tinkling synths with some cinematic soft lounge. Lastly, “Mary Mary” is more the rhythmic romantic pop song.
Brownie Speaks female trio of Brownie, Gaichoi and Moon Kyu and electronic mix producer Freakhouze (DJ Memphis), make for a very unique music combo. A funky original style, upbeat, relaxing and excellently merging various music types. By the lovely light mood electronic dance and lounge, this caters nicely for my electronic music tastes. The blend of lounge, jazz, bossa nova and light dance beats are perfect. “Run on the Rail” is a great little techno house melody along with the upbeat “Solitude”. Certainly light and easy dance sounds. If you like Korean indie artists Humming Urban Stereo and The Melody your sure to enjoy this gem. Purely recommended sophistication.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
