Hannibal Rising

Last night, I watched this horror and thriller movie. The plot is pretty good though but I don’t like that Hannibal is taking a revenge with those people who cook and eat  his sister during the World War II. Well, i always go for movies that has good morale. I agree with what the inspector had said that he is now a monster.

Watching such movie was quite something for me because I am not really a fan of horror or thriller movies. Sometimes I would even closed my eyes on those scenes where he was killing brutally those men who ate her sister because of a terrible hunger. Imagine? And i was watching it alone at midnight. Hehehehee…

Anyways, there were five of them that he wants to kill but the movie only ends up to the 4rth or 5th person, I believe. This movie was the prequel to the Red Dragons and Silence of the Lambs. In the movie, Hannibal had an affair with her aunt Lady Murasaki Shikubi, who had helped him a lot. Hmmnn…I thought he would follow what Lady Murasaki told him which is to stop the revenge but I was wrong. He  really is a monster. He said, he already promised Mischa to revenge for what had happen to her - flesh to flesh.

The Scarlet Letter

A one of a kind movie which created a big impact why the late Lee Eun-ju committed suicide in the real life. Here is the summary of this movie:

A detective, his 3 girls & a murder case!

Complex emotional relationships and human nature’s darker sides are explored in this captivating suspense drama about a cop whose lust for love threatens to get in the way of his professional life.

Ki-hoon is guy that doesn’t mind an erotic adventure. Even though he is married to charming and beautiful Soo-hyun, he engages in a passionate affair with his wife’s friend night club singer Ka-hee.

As if things weren’t complicated enough, he suddenly starts being attracted to murder suspect Kyung-hee whom he earlier believed to be involved in the killing of her husband.

Can Ki-hoon finally overcome all the irresistible temptations he encounters in his life ? These and other questions will be revealed in The Scarlet Letter.

Cast and Characters:

Suk-kyu Han - Ki-hoon
Eun-ju Lee - Ga-hee
Hyeon-a Seong - Kyeong-hie
Ji-won Uhm - Su-hyeon

I give this movie 10/10! I just hope Lee Eun-ju didn’t let herself be affected by the criticisms she got from this movie because of her explicit sex scenes. It made this movie great because of her acting and I believe those scenes are apt for the movie, it is not something to be considered as pornographic. Maybe Korea is still not open to this kind of movie, this is just an ordinary movie in Hollywood you know. There is nothing wrong with this movie in fact you can get a lot of morale/lessons.

iL Mare

Filed under: Korean Movies

I am a frequent visitor of Crunchyroll because I both love movies and animes. Two nights ago, I watched Il Mare. Got interested with this movie  when I found out that it is quite the same with the Lakehouse. I borrowed a VCD of the Lakehouse before but wasn’t able to see it because I got busy with our thesis. The reason why I watched Il Mare is that i was thinking this is a good substitute to the Lakehouse when I wasn’t able to grab or buy a VCD of it. I read a lot of good comments from the internet about the movie and even from my friends.

Anyways, the lead role for this movie is the lady from My Sassy Girl and Windstruck. So basing from those two good movies I was really expecting that this one is also great. But I was wrong, the entire scene was all draggy and I am not satisfied with the ending. Though, it was a happy ending but I am stil looking for something. They shouldn’t have focused more on the scenes on the writing of letters but on the time when they will meet or after they have met.
