So can we agree South Korea runs the Asian Cinema scene?

The flu was another dope movie

Bedevilled

I'M STILL MAD

Crazy movie. That last scene was ridiculous.

Thirst was weird to me, I didn't like how

Spoiler

he just seemed like a creepy pervert, the girl seemed mad ungrateful, the husband was super trash, basically I hated all the characters. the way they told the story was weird to follow, it was slow, the special effects were 80's movie level of cheesy. He wasn't the type of vampire I wanted to see

Let the right one in was a dope vampire movie that did a way better job of what I thought this movie tried to do

Can't wait for Burning to be out

The only all right flick I’ve seen from SK is A Bittersweet Life. Everything else has been damn good.

The blasphemy in this post

A bittersweet life is top 5 modern crime movies.

Other than that you are absolutely correct

I remember the characters being the weak point in the movie.

I just watched Train To Busan on Netflix a few days ago and that movie was piff .

That was the first South Korean film I've ever watched. I'm gonna check out some more .

Hong Kong is not what it once was. I think with more money Thailand could really challenge Korea.


Japan is a lost cause .They just have no idea how subtlety works in cinema.

China still produces a lot of quality shyt but their stuff isn't as western-oriented as SK cinema so it's a harder sell to audiences here.

Japanese cinema has never found a way to overcome the cultural strength of anime. All the tv- and movie-money is in there, and their movies try to churn on the anime approach too even though stylistically it's extremely difficult to make it work. Add that Japan has produced few film directors of talent (again, everyone is in manga or anime) and their cinema has always suffered.
