    Chaw (DVD) (2-Disc) (Korea Version)

    Uhm Tae Woong (Actor) | Jung Yoo Mi (Actor) | Shin Jung Won (Director)
    Revenge of the Killer Boar
    November 29, 2009 Picked By Sanwei See all this editor's picks
    Chaw is an often campy movie, but not for the obvious reason. Although a giant man-eating boar might seem like a ridiculous candidate for a monster movie, it's really not that out there. The cautionary horror of environmental pollution leading to a killer mutant wasn't laughable in The Host. The mad boar gods of Princess Mononoke and their war against humanity weren't laughable. And wild boars are actually a genuine concern in rural Korea, enough so that MBC is sending out idols to catch them for a new corner on their Sunday night variety program (Korean entertainment works in mysterious ways). The vengeful woolly-mammoth boar with a taste for human meat and hide that deflects bullets is... [read more]

    Nakashima Mika
    Sing to the stars
    November 15, 2009 Picked By Sanwei See all this editor's picks
    Nakashima Mika made her debut with Stars eight years ago, and since then, whether coincidentally or otherwise, she has returned to the theme of stars in her music multiple times, including Will, Mienai Hoshi, and Orion. After last month's funky circus-inspired Candy Girl, Mika goes back to the ballad and to the stars for her newest single Nagareboshi ("Shooting Star"). Nagareboshi is the kind of soaring, emotional ballad that Mika has become known for, and this one has particularly sweet and melancholic lyrics about gazing at the same stars and wishing for love. The lyrics are simple yet touching, direct in sentiments: "Look up at the sky, hand in hand/I hope we see the same future." The... [read more]

    Rahtree: Flower of The Night aka : Buppah Rahtree (Hong Kong Version)

    Sipparak Yuthlert (Director)
    Comes with the horror and the laughs
    November 16, 2009 Picked By A-Xiang Joe See all this editor's picks
    Sometimes reminding me of the mix and match neighborhood in Kung Fu Hustle and sometimes of William Friedkin's 70s classic The Exorcist, Rahtree: Flower of The Night sums up as a horror movie I watched with a smile on my face. It all begins with a reflection by the main male lead, Ake (Krit Sripoomseth), who introduces the viewer to a mysterious girl called Rahtree (Laila Boonyasak). Ake attempts to win the interest of the girl, who is both an object of desire and a person veiled in secrecy because her good looks somehow don't match with her odd behavior. After he succeeds and wins her love, he reveals that his efforts to win her love are connected with a scam by a group of boys betting on... [read more]
  • Jenny, Juno (Hong Kong Version)

    Jenny, Juno (Hong Kong Version)

    Park Min Ji (Actor) | Kim Hye Sung (Actor) | Lim Dong Jin | Kim Ja Ok
    Honey-sweet tale about a cool couple
    November 26, 2009 Picked By A-Xiang Joe See all this editor's picks
    Korean Cinema proves its excellence in creating original comedies, beautifully bringing to life the troubles and happiness of a teenaged expecting couple in Jenny, Juno. Jenny (Park Min Ji) is a young girl in secondary school who shares a head-over-heels love affair with her new schoolmate Juno (Kim Hye Sung). Their love is put to the ultimate test when Jenny discovers that she is pregnant with Juno's child. Weighing out the pros and the cons of becoming parents, they finally decide to have and raise the baby in spite of the pressure and demands of their parents whose arrangements don't quite match with Jenny and Juno's original solution. Clearly keeping its distance from depicting the... [read more]
  • Brilliant Legacy Vol. 1 of 2 (DVD) (5-Disc) (English Subtitled) (SBS TV Drama) (Korea Version)

    Brilliant Legacy Vol. 1 of 2 (DVD) (5-Disc) (English Subtitled) (SBS TV Drama) (Korea Version)

    Lee Seung Gi (Actor) | Han Hyo Ju (Actor) | Bae Soo Bin (Actor) | Moon Chae Won (Actor)
    Shining Romance
    November 15, 2009 Picked By Sanwei See all this editor's picks
    On paper, Brilliant Legacy is a summation of K-Drama cliches: a pure-hearted riches-to-rag heroine gets bullied by her evil stepmother after her father's death, and then falls into love and rivalry with an arrogant heir. There's also a fake death, missing brother, backstabbing stepsister, and romantic triangle in the mix for more soap opera value. Storywise Brilliant Legacy is indeed been there done that, but how that familiar story plays out on screen feels fresh and engaging, with many cute romantic moments to make fans happy. Much of Brilliant Legacy's brilliance lies in the cast and chemistry. Starring in his first TV drama in three years, singer Lee Seung Gi plays the conceited and... [read more]

    School Days With A Pig (DVD) (English Subtitled) (Hong Kong Version)

    Tsumabuki Satoshi (Actor) | Harada Mieko (Actor) | Tabata Tomoko (Actor) | Maeda Tetsu (Director)
    Some Pig!
    November 30, 2009 Picked By Sanwei See all this editor's picks
    A cuddly piglet, a classroom of smartly dressed kids, and the Japanese heartthrob equivalent of a cuddly piglet - Tsumabuki Satoshi in a pink sweater. You really can't go wrong with School Days with a Pig. Inspired by a true story, School Days with a Pig is about an enthusiastic teacher who decides to impart the lesson of life to his sixth graders by having them raise a pig together over the course of a year - and then eating it. The kids eagerly take on the responsibility of caring for P-chan together, from feeding leftovers and scooping poop to playing soccer. A pig playing soccer? Aww... Pig on a leash? Double aww... Much of School Days with a Pig is indeed too heartwarmingly good to be... [read more]

For the Love of Cow - Interview with Guan Hu and Huang Bo
Written By YumCha! Editorial Team
When this year's Golden Horse Award nominations were announced, one film title in particular jumped out: Cow. Garnering a surprising seven nominations, the uncanny Mainland China feature about the great love between a peasant and his cow during the Second Sino-Japanese War has emerged as an unlikely audience favorite and award contender. Sixth Generation director Guan Hu and newly crowned Golden Horse Best Actor Huang Bo take a humble premise and run with it, taking the wartime black comedy all the way to the 66th Venice Film Festival and to the 6th Hong Kong Asian Film Festival. Set in 1940 China, Cow follows a bumbling peasant and a lumbering Dutch dairy cow's steadfast camaraderie and... [read more]
