[HanCinema's Film Review] "The Tower"
2014/10/18
Disaster movies are not really a huge genre in Korea. With budget and scale being an issue for those more into the action than the human element and those focusing on the human element limiting their destruction, it is a tricky type of film to pull off. "The Tower" is definitely in the former category of going for big visuals, big dangers, big everything. At the end of the day though, it offers more style than substance,...More

[HanCinema's Box Office Review] January
2013/02/02
It was a hard month for foreign films here in Korea as January favoured three local films that, between them, held a tight grip on the ticket sales. Lee Hwan-gyeong's "Miracle in Cell No.7" may have stolen the show in the last weekend of the month, but it was Kim Ji-hoon's fiery epic "The Tower" and Jo Jin-kyoo's 5th comedy "Man on the Edge" that held that top position until then. In the foreign corner, two adaptations stood out in the form of the musical drama "Les Misérables" and "Life of Pi". The former has grossed $38.6 million over its six week run in Korean theatres, with "The Tower" close behind on $34.4 million,...More

[HanCinema's Film Review] "Deranged": A Refreshing Slap in the Face
2012/12/08
Film: "Deranged" (연가시 - Yeon-ga-si) Director: Park Jeong-woo Stars: Kim Myung-min, Moon Jung-hee, Kim Dong-wan & Lee Honey Review Score: 4 / 5 Also Try: "The Host" or "Haeundae" Many happily look back at contemporary disaster films such as JK Youn's "Haeundae", Bong Jong-ho's "The Host", and to a lesser and different degree, Kim Ji-hoon's monster "Sector 7", as films that pushed the scale and scope of what was possible for the genre. Biological or otherwise, "Deranged" teases with the boundaries of traditional disaster films, superimposing a refreshing sociopsychological element through its solid dramatic filter of fatherly duty and the 'golden mean' approach to social responsibility. Kim Myung-min plays Jae-hyeok, a man who makes daily sacrifices in service of his family and their wellbeing. He is initially stern, cold almost, and constantly scolds his ditsy and naive wife (Moon Jung-hee as Kyeong-soon) and their two children (a daughter and son played by Yeom Hyun-seo and Uhm Ji-sung) for their apparent sloppy behaviour,...More

[HanCinema's Film Review] "Sector 7": A Host of Issues
2011/10/29
Korea's first big budget 3D feature failed. The extreme hype and mass marketing served only to raise the film to a height from which it was destined to fall from. The success it received in its opening week was a good start to Kim Ji-hoon's monster flick but once word got out of the film's many failings, its numbers dropped sharply as a result of the scorn it received from critics and the public alike. "Sector 7" was a huge disappointment and the degree to which it fell short of glory is staggering. Before I dive into the criticism, let's first look at an area where the film did well, or at least showed the most potential. "Sector 7" had a number of things going for it, the most exciting of which was its premise. Sector 7 is an actual Joint Development Zone (JDZ) involving both Korea and Japan respectfully. Japan has shown little interest in it but the area has represented the hopes of Korea to become energy independent. Oil is the desire in the film and it carries not only the characters' hopes but the nation's as well. The oilrig tasked in finding the black gold is manned with individuals who strive to make a success out the exploration project. But, when a mysterious creature starts terrorising the rig, the needs of the crew suddenly become much simpler,...More

Groundbreaking 3D IMAX visuals, successful international sales and highly criticized story aside, action flick "Sector 7" -- which opened on August 4 and broke this year's domestic box office records with 1.4 million viewers in four days-- has quickly become the film du jour for creating a new archetype for Korean female screen personas. To date, Korean cinema has remained largely conservative in terms of female leads, largely in the manner of 1950s Hollywood. Women are usually portrayed as either an asexual Audrey Hepburn or a sultry Marilyn Monroe, with a small gray zone for a few quirky, intelligent Katharine Hepburn types,...More
