The Way Home from Paramount Home Video Price: $17.99 Customer Review:  If you need a respite from all the frenetic, over-acted Hollywood films of late, watch this film. The woman who plays the mute grandmother and the boy are not actors, but real people, and the performance that the director draws out from them is natural and affecting. The premise and the story is... |

Lies from Fox Lorber Price: $22.48 Customer Review: Personally, if an erotic movie lacks sensuality, I'm not really interested. So that was my initial opinion. But personal taste aside, this movie was flawless (especially in the boundaries of what the director had in mind.) It's about a 38 year old married artist: thin, average appearance, with a... |

Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East from Image Entertainment Price: $26.99 Customer Review:  Why has bodhi-dharma left for the east{the title is a zen koan] is a simply astonishing movie. The director Bae Yong-kyun spent 7 YEARS filming this movie{the overwrought phrase labor of love is applicable here} the story,unfolding simply tells of a aged,dying Zen monk in the mountains in... |

Joint Security Area from Tai Seng Entertainme Price: $26.96 Customer Review: I must say that this is one of the best movies I have seen, yet. This is also one of the two best Korean movies I'ven seen (the other best is "No. 3", which because of its Korean-exclusive humor and cultural undertone, will probably never see the light of day outside of Korea). I won't describe... |

Tell Me Something from Kino International Price: $26.96 Customer Review: A South Korean crime film in which a weathered detective becomes entangled with a woman who is apparently the next target of a serial killer. This is one of those films in which it's impossible to explain the plot without narrating the whole movie, so just let it be said that nothing is what it... |

Guns & Talks from Tai Seng Entertainme Price: $22.46 Customer Review: I've seen good Korean movies, and I've seen VERY good Korean movies... this one is VERY good. The idea of the movie isn't too original, but it doesn't matter because the actors are great (i.e Shin Hyun-Joon) and there's plenty of great humor. This movie made me laugh harder than almost any "comedy"... |

Ring Virus Customer Review: I recommend this movie without having actually seen it. I had only heard a brief mention that the American "Ring" was a remake of a hugley popular Japanese horror. Anyway, I saw the remake on a rainy afternoon in a huge theater. I was almost completely by myself, and it really got to me. I had a... |

White Badge from Vanguard Films Price: $17.96 Customer Review:  This film is a poor imitation of Platoon and Deer Hunter. It's hard for me to believe that semi-illiterate Vietnamese farmers know how to write Korean language to demand compensation for the loss of their water buffaloes accidentally killed by Korean soldiers. You will be very disappointed if you're... |
