My Love Ssagajy (AKA: 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant) (VCD) (Korea Version) VCD
(32)Our Price: US$11.99List: US$15.99Save: US$4.00 (25%)May 21, 2006 100 Day with Mr. ArrogantI would see this movie again just for Ha Ji Won's interpretation of "Sailor Moon". I almost fell off the chair laughing. Kim Jae Won does a great job in torturing poor Ha Ji Won's character - it is hilarious! An enjoyable show with a little less than predictable storyline. Good entertainment! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Spy Girl (Hong Kong Version)
May 21, 2006 Spy GirlThe story line about a North Korean spy infiltrating South Korea and a guy about to go into military service has potential to be a funny show. However, the screenplay just did not deliver on the potential of the idea.
I enjoyed Gong Yoo's comic acting and Jadu's acting was moderate in her portrayal of a N. Korean spy. I was just a tad disappointed that the plot wasn't developed more to allow the characters more depth.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
He Was Cool (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)
May 21, 2006 He Was CoolA funny romantic comedy that will tickle your funny bone and bring tears to your eyes. It's about a guy who has self-alienated himself from others and a girl who is open and vibrant. Naturally, when the two come together there are sparks and the hilarious stunts begin. Very enjoyable and worth your time. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
She's On Duty (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)
May 21, 2006 She's on DutyAfter watching the K-Drama "Kim Sam Soon" I eagerly anticipated this movie. If you liked the Kim Sam Soon character, you'll enjoy this movie.
Kim Sun-ah (main actress) does a great job in creating a Kim Sam Soo-like character who happens to be a cop. It also was a wonderful match to have Gong Yoo as her leading man once again after their initial pairing in the "S-Diaries". The only trouble I had with believing this movie was that Sun-ah played a high school student. Really now, give me a break - she looks great, but 18? I don't think so.
The movie has action, comedy, romance and did I say comedy? Kim Sun-ah really exceeds in this particular genre. Comedy is typically seen as low brow, but it takes talent to carry it off well.
A very enjoyable and funny movie. Well worth your time to see this one.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

Musa The Warrior (Hong Kong Version)
Musa The Warrior (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region All
(48)Our Price: US$10.99Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysMay 21, 2006 Musa the WarriorA graphic movie focused on the fight scenes with a lot of action. There are some very cool characters in this show, but it appears at times to be more of a fairy tale than a period piece. Still, if you like martial arts, you'll enjoy this.

My Wife is a Gangster 2 - The Legend Returns (DTS Version) (Hong Kong Version)
My Wife is a Gangster 2 - The Legend Returns (DTS Version) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region All
(3)Our Price: US$10.99Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysMay 21, 2006 My Wife is a Gangster 2Unlike sequels that usually fall short of the orginal show, "My Wife is a Gangster 2" actually delivers a better screenplay allowing the actors more depth and color and is better than the original.
There are still some pretty cool fight scenes, but the fights scenes are secondary to the plot, unlike the first movie where it appeared that the plot was based primarily on the fight scenes.
Shin Eun Kyung delivers in this movie and is allowed to explore more facets of her character as well as introduce more comedy. The listing of China's Ziyi Zhang is misleading as she has perhaps 1 minute in the movie at the very end. Otherwise, this movie is enjoyable and brings in characters from the original "My Wife is a Gangster" minus the husband (thank goodness).Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Mapado : All About the Hemp & Widows
Mapado : All About the Hemp & Widows DVD Region 3
(2)Our Price: US$28.99List: US$34.99Save: US$6.00 (17%)1 people found the following helpful
May 21, 2006 Mapado IslandAlthough this movie has a slow beginning, you discover that the pace of the movie is deliberate as it lulls you into the pace of Mapado Island. Initially, I had been hesitant about purchasing this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it entertaining.
If you're looking for action and a slash n' crash movie, this is not the show for you. It's about getting back to what is important in life, and determining what your life's priorities are in an amusing manner. The women in this show are hilarious, and the men soon begin to discover something about themselves as well. Enjoyable show.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Crazy First Love (US Version)
Crazy First Love (US Version) DVD Region All
(5)Our Price: US$9.99List: US$10.99Save: US$1.00 (9%)May 21, 2006 Crazy First LoveThis movie is absolutely a reflection of its title. The plot is over the top and just not believable, even under the premise of a movie. Likewise, the acting appears forced and again, over the top. There are more enjoyable things I'd do instead of watching this movie. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Windstruck
May 21, 2006 WindsweptWhat a wonderful surprise to discover that "Windswept" was every bit as good as "My Sassy Girl". The acting as well as the screenplay were well developed and well done. This one is a tear jerker, and it goes full circle back to "My Sassy Girl". I enjoyed this immensely. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
My Boyfriend is Type-B
May 21, 2006 My Boyfriend is Type BThis was a light romantic comedy that just didn't deliver on it's potential. The acting was good, however, not good enough to carry the shortcomings of the screenplay. If you've got nothing to do, this will help to entertain you. Did you find this review helpful?

Too Beautiful To Lie
May 21, 2006 Too Beautiful to LieThis was a charming comedy about misunderstanding and family. The acting was enjoyable, and although the story line was predictable, it was well executed. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie - it was hilarious as well as heart-warming. If you're looking for light comic entertainment, this is well worth your time. Did you find this review helpful?
