Are These Actors All Here?! Meeting Japanese Actors and Their Works in 'Good News'

Are These Actors All Here?! Meeting Japanese Actors and Their Works in 'Good News'

Was it a global project? While watching the Netflix original 〈Good News〉 directed by Byun Sung-hyun, which was released on October 17, I thought about that. It is based on the real-life Japanese civil aviation hijacking incident, which is why not only Korean actors but also a large number of...

[Official Trailer] “I Play Rocky Balboa”… Sylvester Stallone’s Reckless Challenge Sparks a New Electric-Tone Biopic Film, ‘I Play Rocky,’ Trailer Released

A new film from director Peter Farrelly… newcomer Anthony Ippolito takes on a 100% match for Sylvester Stallone’s look in his younger days Hollywood’s greatest behind-the-scenes story—where a filmmaker wrote the script himself and still set a “no selling unless I’m the lead” ultimatum Matt Dillon, AnnaSophia Robb, Stefan James, and more solid supporting players join the cast… Opening in theaters this November via Amazon MGM distribution
How could a young man who was nothing more than an unknown actor become the legendary Hollywood hero ‘Rocky Balboa’? A biopic film, ’I Play Rocky ’, which captures Sylvester Stallone’s real-life Rocky-making backstory—more movie-like than the movie itself—has finally been released as an official...

'Humor and Fantasy in Marty Supreme' and the Freedom Josh Safdie Won

'Humor and Fantasy in Marty Supreme' and the Freedom Josh Safdie Won

After Josh Safdie split from his brother Benny Safdie, his solo directorial debut 〈Marty Supreme〉 is packed with a different kind of humor and fantasy than before.
〈Marty Supreme〉 is similar to Josh Safdie’s earlier works, but also different. The most decisive factor is that after going through 〈Heaven Knows What〉 (2014), 〈Good Time〉 (2017), and 〈Uncut Gems〉 (2019), which they co-directed under the name “Safdie Brothers” with his younger brother Benny Safdie,...

‘Shadow Child’ Review: A Fantastical World Rooted in the Real Pain of Absence, Plus What Its Key Players Had to Say

‘Shadow Child’ Review: A Fantastical World Rooted in the Real Pain of Absence, Plus What Its Key Players Had to Say

Blending realist grounding with a genre mood is difficult. Capturing the border between those two seemingly different realms and turning it into a film is no easy task. Even in South Korea’s film industry, where tightly executed genre movies and grounded, reality-driven stories dominate, films that...

Hong Kong Retro Movie Tour ③ ‘Kowloon Walled City: The Untold Stories’ — The Kowloon Walled City Park Set That Revives Memories of Hong Kong Cinema

Hong Kong Retro Movie Tour ③ ‘Kowloon Walled City: The Untold Stories’ — The Kowloon Walled City Park Set That Revives Memories of Hong Kong Cinema

Erased in 1993, the Kowloon Walled City — left behind as “Kowloon Walled City Park” — was a bleak illegal residential zone where no sliver of sunlight ever reached.
When director Jingle Bao-rui’s 〈Kowloon Walled City: The Untold Stories〉 (hereinafter 〈Kowloon Walled City〉, 2024) hit theaters in Hong Kong in 2024, it set a record for the biggest box-office success in Hong Kong history.

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Do You Know the Origin of Woody in “Toy Story”?

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Do You Know the Origin of Woody in “Toy Story”?

I can’t stop fixating on the objects in the movies. I get pulled into deep thought over why—director, cinematographer, production designer, maybe even an actor—someone put that object in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the objects from films that landed in my eyes, as if they gently stepped over them.
〈Toy Story 2〉 (1999)’s opening begins as if it were a scene from the 〈Star Wars〉 series. And in the moment of crisis, Woody recites the lines “Think about it, think about it,” like the way Dong-su (Kim Sang-kyung) does in 〈Theater Jeon〉 (2005) or Yeon-hong (Son Ye-jin) does in 〈No Secrets〉 (2016).

Cineplay Critics Weigh the Pluses and Minuses of ‘Colony’

Surpassing 3 million viewers within 10 days of its release, Colony is indisputably the most popular film in theaters right now. Yet despite that box-office success, reactions to Colony are sharply divided — a split that was evident even among Cineplay reporters at a press screening.

So, How Scary Is It? “Salmokji” — Seen in Advance at a Press Screening

After a long while, a horror film that still has bite has arrived. If, while watching a horror movie, you find yourself thinking, “Ugh, come on,” then that’s basically the end of it. If the emptiness at the finish of something eerie arrives and the fear doesn’t quite live up to expectations, all...
