R-Point DTS
December 6, 2005 The forbidden R-point...I have to say I liked this film in many different point of views. A horror story line base on a Vietnam War zone in Vietnam. I must say the idea of this film project was absolutely brilliant and fresh. I thought the plot was quite interesting never have I felt there was a dead-air period during the film. Army v.s. unknown spirits.... Can you picture that? Once you can you will understand the fear within the forbidden area of the R-point. A good K-horror film~

November 7, 2005 Ghost and Human can co-exsist?If it wasn't a friend's reconmmendation, I could of by passed this movie in a heart beat. Fortunately I have to say this is probably one of the BEST horror/comedy/romantic movie I ever seen... See how I can't even catagorized this movie cos it's got many elements going on in the mix. Just has an interesting plot and story line thru out the whole film. Jang Seo Hee looks adorable & pitty at times in this film, I thought she was well done in terms at her role. And the other surpised to me was Cha Seoung Won's character development in this film. I never thought a movie can be exsist like this one and actually makes me wanna wirte an review about it. This is definitely an underrated film. An "A" grade movie in my personal opinion. This film is a sleeper of the year in K-films.

November 7, 2005 Not a re-mix of my sassy girl~I must be crazy to read some reviews on this film and believed it was like a remix of "My sassy girl" when this film was relased then. I almost pass on this film because of the bad reviews I had read over the net... Read my lips: "THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST CHICK FLIK I EVER SEEN" and I will back this statment up by telling you my thoughts of this film... Great duo in the names of Jeon "my sassy girl" Ji Hyun + Jang Hyuck. What a chemistry btween the 2 leads. I have to say as good as the chemistry between the two that the script of this film was beyound I can imagined. Some ppl may say "what are you talking about? The story is like a fairytale.. nothing special" TRUE~ but this is probably the most romantic and touching fairytale that I have ever seen. The comedy part was a bonus (not the main story line) in this film especially in the begining but I almost got fooled by the pace of this fim because of it. Well scripted film with 360 degrees turn that will make you enjoy this film. You will apperciate the ending too, because you will see someone you never thought you will see in this project. Great teased and lovely production all in all.

2009 Lost Memories (Special Edition 2Disc DVD Set + Making Book)
2009 Lost Memories (Special Edition 2Disc DVD Set + Making Book) DVD Region 3
(15)Our Price: US$56.99List: US$68.99Save: US$12.00 (17%)December 22, 2003 Hidden lost memories to rewrite or protect?This is a type of film that either viewers will like it or totally dislike it. Released in year 2002, the storyline is unrealistic however I consider the plot of this film is quite entertaining. Action pack super hero type of film. Strong cast in the name of Jang Dong Gun + Nakamura Toru. I give this film a lot of credit by trying something like this. Although I can't say this film matches up to the true hollywood big time $ blockbuster stander, but it definitly deserved it's own glory. An International affair involves both Japan & Korea. I also was intrigue by the idea on twisting realism of the history between the two countries in this film, I found that quite interesting. However I thought the make up on revised the realistic history in the plot was a bit weak. But all in all, this is a well produced film. The character development in this film was also consider a plus. It's definitely an above average film.

September 16, 2002 Tomie
Another film that did not live-up the expectation... The manga was way better than the movie. Movie started out good but went flat after 1/3 of the movie and was disaster towards to the end. Tomie comic series was huge in Japan but however the movie was not the same. Tomie movie sequel "Tomie 2" is better and scary. Different cast with more interesting horro plot.

Water Boys (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)
Water Boys (DVD) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region All
(22)Our Price: US$10.99Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysSeptember 16, 2002 It's funny but not all that...I guess a good quality comedy film has been hard to find these days in the Asia film industry, that's the likes from H.K. Korea or Japan... I personaly think this film is good but It wasn't that out standing or a so called "must see". The idea of this movie was brillent and the story line was lay out quite interesting due to the subject that falls on male high school students doing synchronized swimming. However, I thought the movie had fallen flat out towards to the end and it could of be done better. Maybe because I was hoping for too much, however, I didn't think it was that great of a comdy film afterwards.

Lee Soo Young vol.4 CD + Music Video (DVD) - Limited Edition
Lee Soo Young vol.4 CD + Music Video (DVD) - Limited Edition DVD Region All
(17)Our Price: US$14.99List: US$19.99Save: US$5.00 (25%)September 13, 2002 Her 4th albumNice new album once again from a cute diva in Korea. This album is really showing off her true singing ability that not too many others can even comprehend. This album's style is different than her 3rd releases that many people thought it was just so-so (However, I think the 3rd releases was pretty good and different than some of her old stuff). This new album contants great production on most of the tracks, lyrics and music are pretty quality. Music vide disc is a bonus. This is fresh off to the market, if you are a fan of quality music album, you will like this one.

September 11, 2002 waaasaaabiiiii!!!!
I gotta be honest with all of you who havn't seen this movie, this is probably the best I have ever seen in Hirosue Ryoko. Althoug with all the hypes in Japan of this film production even before it was released in the box office, but this film did not disappoint and it was absolutely no fluke. I won't give anything away about this movie but I certainly recommand people to see this movie. Great cast, good plot & acting, top notch, A++ film.

September 11, 2002 Junji Ito's "Kakashi"
I don't know why this movie is so not like Junji Ito's other horror movies... I actually read the manga version of the "Kakashi" it's way better than what they put out on the big screen. Although the movie did follow the main story line of the kakashi, however the important details of this story was never been delievered in this movie. That's why this movie has so many holes that makes people confused and not scary at all. For all you horror flicks, here if my suggestion... Go read the manga and don't watch this poorly made movie.

St. John's Wort
September 11, 2002 resident evilSt. John's wort is just like the other viewers who already gave half of the story away becase of it's own unique way of the screen film making. The whole story is like playing the classic video game "resident evil" or some of you may known as "biohazard". This is a pretty well done movie despite I wish the plot was more scary than it already is. The creepy atmosphere thru out the whole film was definitly a success. I would recomand to all you horror flicks. Oh, The ending was also entertaining.

Dark Water (Hong Kong Version)
September 9, 2002 not very darkThis is a "so so" J-horo. film. I saw it when I was over in Shinjuku/Tokyo this past spring. I had high hope of this movie. However, I only felt being entertained at the last 15 mins of this film when it gets freaky. The ending was so so just like many other J-horo. movies. But it's still worth watching.

Calmi Cuori Appassionati (Hong Kong Version)
September 9, 2002 Calmi Cuori AppassionatiNice romantic movie will touch your heart at the end. This is good movie for couple who struggling to find out if they really meant for each other. Takanouchi + Chen were a good mix of chemisty for this artistic movie. Story line is simple but it well delivered the deep meaning at the end. Well done international production film.

SammiX Dance Collection 19
May 30, 2002 copy cat~~I just don't know why she loves to copy Lee Jung Hyun so much the fact that she also needs to put out a remix album to made more $ and rob Chinese people the wrong way.... And I am so sad to see so many Chinese people likes Sammi and saying her dances or songs are so great and etc..., She is nothing but a copy cat. Not that I loves to bashing her here but seriously she copies evey song from Lee Jung Hyun who I really like as a talented singer from Korea. Please stop copying K-pop and be creative. "You are NOT Lee Jung Hyun and you will never be."

May 30, 2002 Nippon euro beats...
I got this album like 2 yrs ago and I got to tell you all that this is still the best out of all 3 other euro beat Ayu remix LP that's currently out. This album is so good for any para-para or ddr fans that loves nippon euro beats. I recommend to people that wants to test the water on any of the Ayu's album but don't know where to start, this one will be it for you.

Friends Vol.1-4 (End)
April 4, 2002 bad mini dramaI saw the first 2 eps. when I was over in Korea during Feb/02. I can't even standed to finish watchs this mini drama series that suposed to be mad good. Plus,with all the hypes in Japan, Korea and interesting cast (Won Bin + Kyoko + Lee dong gan + Akiko), But I was so disapointed at the poor plot and bad acting. I am sorry to say this mini series failed. The only reason I gave "1 point" is because the idea of this mini series is brllient but unfortunatlly it has nothing inside of this project. Don't wasted you time on this.

JSA (Joint Security Area) (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)
JSA (Joint Security Area) (DVD) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region All
(16)Our Price: US$10.99Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysApril 4, 2002 DVD VERSION IS FINALLY HERE!Wow, I been waiting for the longest time on JSA's DVD releases and now is finally here. This is a great movie and I believed is still holds all time box office movie record in Korea. Definitly a blockbuster! If you liked the movie "Shiri" you will like JSA. I recommend buying the Korea version releases than the OverSeas version because Korea version is uncut but OverSeas version I don't think is 100% full length. I don't know why Yes Asia doesn't have the Korea version avail. but you should look it up in other Korean movie web. The price is pretty much in the same range. This is a good buy!

January 15, 2002 long time~
Jeff's new album is quite good. Althought people always say that he has the same singing style all the time. However he is the only one who created "Chang's style love songs" He has definitly in my opinon one the best male singer who really knows how to sing. This is a good album!
