Is That a Goomba? Game-Based Films That Successfully Reinvented Themselves from Bywords for Flops

It feels like a lifetime has passed. Gone are the days when "video game adaptations" fought over 0.5 or 1-star ratings; now we live in an era where they can reliably deliver a decent average. Even Mario once went through a period when it was the epitome of a "worst movie," a reputation even fans...

[Chua-Young’s Music Box] Music for the Purification Ritual of Wounded Youth: “Girls Band Cry”

[Chua-Young’s Music Box] Music for the Purification Ritual of Wounded Youth: “Girls Band Cry”

I get hooked on the music in the film. Music sometimes conveys intimate feelings a character can’t fully express through the visuals alone—or through the lines you hear. It can also serve as a window into the creator’s hidden intentions. For me, understanding film music was one way to connect with the movie. “Chua-Young’s Music Box” lets you listen more closely to the movie’s voice through music. (P.S. While listening to the music, I hope you’ll read the article.)
Following the first film, 〈Girls Band Cry: The Movie—Youth Rhapsody〉 (hereinafter 〈Youth Rhapsody〉), the sequel 〈Girls Band Cry: The Movie, Hey Our Future〉 was released in theaters on April 16. This theatrical release is a compilation film: while it faithfully follows the existing story, it adds...

[Kim Ji-yeon's Jewel Box] The Film's Biggest Discovery, 'Jjanggu' Jo Beom-gyu

[Kim Ji-yeon's Jewel Box] The Film's Biggest Discovery, 'Jjanggu' Jo Beom-gyu

I'm curious about people. Even actors who are already getting attention today may be the least famous they'll ever be. 'Kim Ji-yeon's Jewel Box' introduces actors who are hitting new highs day after day. Think of them as breakout stocks and get in at the ground floor.
How did they find someone like this. I wondered right away, thinking they might have literally brought in some unemployed neighborhood freeloader crashing at a friend’s place. The moment Jo Beom-gyu appears in 〈Jjanggu〉, bouncing his leg flippantly, that thought crossed my mind.

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers] Lee Cronin’s The Mummy and Murderous People Season 2 — and a Scorpion Jacket That Feels Like the Rise of Drive

I get hooked on the objects in movies. I can’t help but get lost in questions about why the director, cinematographer, production designer, or even the actors put that thing right in front of the camera. “[Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers]” is a record of those movie objects that land lightly—right onto my eyes.
Watching 〈Lee Cronin’s The Mummy〉 , you can feel the full-on force of Blumhouse as it revives a franchise that seemed long dead: 〈Mummy〉. The first 〈Mummy〉 (1932), powered by the charisma of actor Boris Karloff, was basically the flagship of the “Universal Horror” era.

〈Bamis〉 is a variety competition where five popular Korean rising male celebrities and five top Asian pastry chefs team up in pairs to create brand-new K-style desserts.
“Momentum. ” Actor Cha Ju-won summed up his strengths in one word like this. Cha Ju-won, as he put it, was an actor whose charm—completely “filter-free”—stood out. Even after becoming a global star through 〈Zone of Love, Unrivaled〉, he kept a cool head and diagnosed where he stood.
