Punch Lady (DVD) (Limited Edition) (Korea Version)

(5)Our Price: US$27.99List: US$36.99Save: US$9.00 (24%)March 26, 2008 A bit far-fetchedThe film is decent, but a bit far-fetched. The story of a woman's struggle with domestic violence to the point of finally fighting back is a courageous and interesting one, but not without its flaws. If you ignore the annoying daughter and disregard a couple of the plot-holes, then you may find yourself enjoying it.

A Dirty Carnival (DVD) (2-Disc) (Korea Version)
November 15, 2006 Not badAlthough the film is a bit long and tends to drag at times, the overall story about a low-life gangster as he rises above the ranks is always an interesting one. There are a couple sub-plotes involving a woman and an old friend who wants to make a movie to keep things out of the typical Korean gangster flick. They also tried to make it seem more realistic by incorporating sparatic fight scenes. Recommended for fans of the gangster/mob sub-genre.

Wedding Campaign
February 21, 2006 not too badI didn't expect much from this flick, but thanks to the lovable characters and interesting setting, it turned out to be a fun way to pass two hours. It's mostly comedy until the last 15-or-so-minutes then it turns to romance. Not a bad flick overall.

Beast and the Beauty
February 7, 2006 surprisingly funnyI wasn't expecting much from this latest addition to the tired romance-comedy genre since South Korea seems to dish a new film out every week. Expecting little worked in its favor, as I found myself enjoying the film, and laughing at some of the silly situations our lead puts himself through. The plot is thin, the situations are ridiculous, and the film ultimately ends just as you'd expect. Regardless, it's still an enjoyable popcorn flick, with some decent laughs and a fun and cute story.

(4)Our Price: US$12.99List: US$29.99Save: US$17.00 (57%)January 7, 2006 better than firstI wasn't very fond of the first film, so it came to a surprise me that a sequel was made, and even more of a surprise that it was actually a huge hit in South Korea. I decided to give this film a shot, and actually found it quite enjoyable. This is much better than the first.
