Punch Lady (DVD) (Limited Edition) (Korea Version)
Punch Lady (DVD) (Limited Edition) (Korea Version) DVD Region 3
(5)Our Price: US$27.99List: US$36.99Save: US$9.00 (24%)Related promotions: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)
A Dirty Carnival (DVD) (2-Disc) (Korea Version) DVD Region 3
(5)Our Price: US$37.99Related promotions: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.

Beast and the Beauty
Beast and the Beauty DVD Region 3
(5)Our Price: US$28.99List: US$34.99Save: US$6.00 (17%)Related promotions: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%)Related promotions: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.
