‘Hope’ Finally Meets Moviegoers. Here’s How Cineplay’s Critics Rated It

‘Hope’ Finally Meets Moviegoers. Here’s How Cineplay’s Critics Rated It

Advance bookings alone topped 600,000. That opening-day figure shows that 〈Hope〉 has become a national talking point, not just a movie-industry event. 〈Hope〉 is the new film from director Na Hong-jin, known for the tense, audacious intensity of 〈The Chaser〉, 〈The Yellow Sea〉 and 〈The Wailing〉.

Interview: Choi Min-sik Lays Bare the Raw Face of an Inferiority Complex in 〈Notes from the Last Row〉, Part 1

Forty-five years into his career, Choi Min-sik can still reveal a new side. In Netflix’s 〈Notes from the Last Row〉, he trades his usual untouchable charisma for the exposed, raw face of an intellectual consumed by an inferiority complex — a petty man trapped in his own world and steeped in a sense...

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Zombie Things That Don’t Flinch Even When Shot: Korea’s First Zombie Film, “Kwe-si” (1981)

I can’t help but fixate on the objects in the movies. I find myself getting deeply lost in thought about why—of all things—this director, cinematographer, art director, or even the actor, placed that item in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the objects in films that landed on my eyes with a light, delicate stomp.
〈Gun-chae〉surpassed 3 million viewers in just 10 days. According to the Korean Film Commission’s integrated computer network, it reached the 3 million mark on May 30, its 10th day after release, four days earlier than 〈King and the Man〉, which drew 16 million viewers.

[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

[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.
