November 3, 2008 His Best Album
Words cannot describe how much I adore this CD. Ive owned it for a number of years now and I still play it very regularly. In my opinion this is Gackts best work and his voice is at its incredible best too. This man is a musical genius and from heart rendering ballad to all out rock tune this CD impresses massively. There is nobody quite like Gackt and im pretty sure there never will be anyone like him. If you love beautiful emotional vocals and gorgeous songs complimented by guitar, piano, violin etc then you will enjoy this. A superb piece of real "class". Did you find this review helpful?

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! Kang ta really impresses here with his intense emotional display of undying love for his older romantic partner. Having said that, shes isnt THAT much older than him and she is sooo pretty and charismatic. I can say that and I am a female! Enjoy this as it is by far so much better than "Stairway to Heaven" (I really dont get the vast appeal of that drama as it is wrapped up in suger-coated icing and is so unrealistic). This drama is great...and a must see!! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Once in a Summer DTS

(2)Our Price: US$14.99List: US$24.99Save: US$10.00 (40%)Related promotions:April 13, 2007 DisappointingI agree totally with the sentiments given by the reviewer "Tuesday". I found my mind wandering when I watched this film which is something I dont ordinarily do when Lee Byung Hun is on the screen. There is zero chemistry between the two leads and the film fails to convince the viewer that what these two shared in one short summer was special and intense enough to last a lifetime. Not up to LBH's usual standard. When I remember how great "Addicted" and "JSA" are, never mind the truly fantastic "A Bitter Sweet Life" I am quite surprised that LBH has regressed to this.

It wasnt your usual stereo-typical "terminal illness laden romance with drawn out death" like "stairway to Heaven" (sorry if your fan of this particualr drama, but it was way too "schmaltzy" for me). It was re-freshing to see a more realistic type of love affair which wasnt covered in a candy-coating and which genuinely tugged at your heart strings towards its final stages. The last episode in particular ripped my heart open and made me cry bucket loads. The acting was superb by all concerned, and although the final few episodes arent easy viewing because it is so sad it is however a powerful drama to watch and enjoy. Highly recommended, although I agree with some of the other reviewers...some of the episodes are a little slow paced. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 18, 2006 Visual PoetryThis is my favourite film in the world. Yes, ive read that some people think the story is weak, that the ending is melodramatic etc, etc. I couldnt care less. This film will fill up your senses with its beautiful use of colour (the costumes, sets and out-door scenery is the best my eyes have ever experienced on film), music (the soundtrack is superb) and the particularly spectacular action scenes. This film to me is visual poetry...I went through every emotion possible with this drama and have watched it time and time again and still feel the same about it. Yi Mou Zhang is a genius as far as I am concerned. I cannot wait for his next offering. The lead actors are gorgeous and credible and if film is there to make you really FEEL, feel I most certainly did. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

I am gradually introducing my friends to the glory that is Korean cinema because at the moment they are missing out on loads of fabulous gems...this film is no exception. Highly recommended!

I found myself laughing out loud at some of the lines delivered by the actors and then wincing with despair as the film takes on a far more tragic turn. The acting is superb throughout and the script is glorious in its ability to weave comedy with tragedy. I will wait a few months and then watch this again and Im sure I will enjoy it just as much. Highly recommended...and like the other reviewers have already stated, I cannot believe this film hasnt garnered more attention and comment. Watch it and love it!!! Did you find this review helpful?

November 27, 2006 Brilliant and Worth Every CentThis is my favourite Live DVD and I own quite a lot. Ive watched this at least 10 times and Im still not bored with it yet and Im pretty sure I never will be. Vulgar is my favourite album by Diru so it was a fair bet that I was going to love this too!
I think Dir en Grey are out-standing live...their music is so tight and exciting and you cannot take your eyes off Kyo...or the hot guitar licks.
Smashing stuff and a must-buy for any Diru fan.
ENJOY!!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Winter Sonata (10DVDs)(End)(Hong Kong Version) DVD Region All
(104)Our Price: US$104.99Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:November 27, 2006 Great!!Out of a 10 star rating, I give this series a good 9 stars. The key to its greatness is the wonderful scenery (breath-taking)and the superb acting (especially by Bae Yong Joon). I have to admit that before I saw this series I really didnt understand what all the hype was about surrounding Bae Yong Joon. I dont think hes as hot as say Lee Byung Hun or Kwon Sang Woo, but wow...the man can really act and he has a wonderful relaxed confident charisma...great to watch!! Certainly see now why so many ladies adore him. This series still isnt my favourite (perhaps "Full House" or "My Lovely Sam Soon" gets that title) but its still a gem of a drama and a perfect example as to why Korean TV dramas are becoming famed all over the world. The series fails to get 10 stars because I simply cannot forgive the person who decided to give Mr Bae the worst hairstyle and colourant I have seen in Korean Drama. Truly awful and spoiled his looks in my opinion. Oh well, you cant have everything!! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 19, 2006 Amazing!!!I could hardly speak after I viewed this concert for the first time because it truly is gob-smacking. All of Gacts live concert DVDs are excellent but trust me on this one, this live is ten times better than any of those...the man sets a very high standard. I live in England and have always regarded myself as pretty lucky that I have very regular access to most top quality music concerts. But I would give up all of those opportunities to just have one chance to see Gackt perform live. This DVD was worth every cent I paid for it. Believe me, I would have paid double for it. Thank you Gackt for giving me a remarkable piece of concert footage which I will treasure and play over and over again. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$100.99Related promotions:September 14, 2006 Could Have Been So Much BetterI am a big Rain fan, so after seeing the adorable "Full House" my expectations were quite high for this drama. As usual, Rain is very charismatic...but unfortunately even the sight of this gorgeous man cannot save this series from being decidedly average. The most annoying parts for me were each and every time Shin Min A fell over or collapsed due to inappropriate fitting footwear or simply because her character was so pathetic. Believe me, she falls over a great deal which leads you to question why Rains character could ever fall in love with her in the first place! That aside, this drama reminded me of a more old-fashioned form of directing that seems to have now been fortunately left behind and replaced by more modern approaches. The very modern and extremely wonderful "My Lovely Sam Soon" is a fine example of this. So come on Rain...!!! You are a super star...demand the very best scripts because you desreve better than this.
