I have just changed the way the site looks..... I hope you like it. Currently working on a range of articles to go online soon, including a box office review for the last year or so and reviews/article for Speedy Scandal / 과속스캔들 and  A Frozen Flower 쌍화점.

I have also started my own blog, which will feature my thoughts on a range of subjects rather than just film. Click here for the link

Hello again, my Korean exam was yesterday, so I finally have some time to get this site up and running properly. Updates will be poping up from Monday. But for now, it is important to mention the Terracotta Film Festival, which is happening from next week. You can watch Eye for an Eye and Dream, by Kim Ki-duk. More information here.

Some of you will know Thirst has been released in Korea. It has done very well indeed in its opening week, largely due to the publiicty drawn from the explicit sexual content. Though, whilst it has been very successful for an Adult rating film, its success has seemed to tail off this past week as it slips to 3rd position in the box office. Reviews in the Korean press have been very mixed, but the reviews I have read seem to suggest it will probably do very well in the West. Park also seems to be back on form following the flop of I'm a Cyborg, but That's OK. Read Darcy's review here.
