Jan - April 09 Updates Hello
there, my fellow readers.... Sorry, again, for the lack of updates.
Unfortunately, I am the only who updates it, so when I get busy with
other things, such as my MA, regrettably, it kind of gets left out.
Therefore, any help to provide content will be much appreciated. As the
summer progresses, the site will have more content uploaded as my MA
draws to a close, but any of you who wish to write anything, please,
please let me know. Reviews, news aritcles, features, anything... As you know the Cannes Film Festival is just around the corner. And it seems like a very promising one for Korean cinema with Park Chan-wook's Thirst screening in the competition and Bong Joon Ho's Mother is screening in the 'Un Certain Regard' programme. And to cap it off, Lee Chang-dong is sitting on the jury. Not bad! And
any of you who feel compelled to see the remake of Tale of Two Sisters,
The Univited; it is being released on Friday in cinemas across the UK,
but expect nothing less than a total disaster! The Korean Cultural Centre are screening Seven Days (세븐 데이즈) Review for A Bloody Aria / 구타유발자들 is up (Posted March 9) The Chaser has been released on DVD, so you can now buy that in high street retailers like HMV or online. I review it when it was released theatrically, so you can see the review here. (Posted February 5) Classic Korean film series starts today at the Korean Cultural Centre (KCC) - please click here for more info (Posted February 5)

News: Updates have started again! Sincere apologies for those looking
for new info - my life hasn't stopped. After the Korean Film Festival,
I have been engaged in my MA, which i am doing at SOAS (School of
Oriental and African studies), University of London. But with my
commitments now soley focussed on my MA, learning Korean and this site,
hopefully it will take some shape in the near furture.
