Executed Poorly but...
This is one of those movies where the story is there but the execution is not. For a low budget movie the production was excellent however, the story is lost in all of the mood and suspense building. The title is also not the best especially when this is more of a ghost story. I mean I guess one of the characters can be considered a stalker but not for the title to be Stalker.The cast is really good too so that's a plus for the film. The FL is outstanding but unfortunately I don't know her name. She's not listed in the credits here and tried every avenue I could to try and find who she was. She was very believable as a person who seemed to be losing their mental faculties and Kim Jung Han was great as the perceived, crazy next door neighbor.
The movie is worth the watch at least once.

This was just too much! I am heartbroken after watching. I knew It would be devastating but I didn't realize I would be so angry after watching b/c of the injustices these children faced at the hands of adults who were supposed to be protetcing them. Parent and/or guardians should not have the right to take thier childs voice away. The events in this movie just have me so emotional right now. I was yelling at the screen and asking where the media was to shame all these damn people. The cast is great but the young actors are the standouts here. Kim Hyun Soo as Yun Doo and Baek Seung Hwan as Min Soo.

Love the ML
This is a surprisingly good show considering the short runtime of the episode but the writers and producers were able to deliver a concise and cohesive story without a lot of filler and BS pushback from the characters. The show is not without its flaws but it's overall a good series.The cast is really good too. I like Kim Sae-Ron even though her character, Doo Shim got on my nerves. I loved Nam Da Reum's character Woo Soo. His character was so swoon worthy. He stole hearts the whole series. I really liked Yoo Sun Ho who played Hyun Soo too. The whole cast is very good though and I loved hearing Kim Sung Oh as the voice of the evil spirit. I will always be a fan of his work even when he's not visually on screen.
This series is likely a social commentary about the struggles and pressure kids in Korean (and elsewhere, honestly) go thru during their formative years in school. It's actually quite a nice allegorical story. I guess there's plans for a 2nd season. It will be interesting to see who/what the big bad will be next time.

The Fight for Shaolin Tamo Mystique

Yikes! This movie is terrible. Not at all a good kung fu movie. Probably the worst martial arts film I've ever seen. The story and/or concept is excellent but the execution is beyond ridiculous. I mean twenty-foot-long arms, 30-foot-long legs and they had the nerve to have a fight scene with this mess. It's as comical as it sounds. Something about the dubbing and sound fx were awful too. Polly Shang Kuan was one of the biggest female stars of 60's and 70s Kung Fu movies and this did not do her justice. 5/14/23

Shaolin Master and the Kid

Yueh Hua was excellent as Nan Kung Hsiao. On a mission to find the killers of his entire family and find his sister-in-law and reunite her with her son. They never do find the boys mother and I guess the writer's may have forgotten that was part of the plot but I really liked his matter of fact character. There were many assassins looking to kill him for 1000 pieces of gold. Then another, top assassin is hired to kill him for 10,000 pieces of gold. There was an unnecesassry subplot with one of the assassins and his girlfriend's love story but I did actually really like the actress even though that plot point was not needed. The "kid" in the title of this movie is adorable as well.
This is a good one time watch. The fights aren't that spectatcular but it's a nicely paced film and the last fight scene is fairly entertaining.

The acting is excellent
The cast and the phenomenal acting by the entire cast elevates this movie from just ok to a solid 3 stars for me. I wish there had been a more complete story but alas, there is not. We get the makings of a good story of a man learning to have faith again after the tragic death of his father as a child after already having lost his mother when she gave birth to him. He blames God and has essentially decided he has no need for Him or his faithful.The story was rushed towards the end. The ending also implied that a sequel was forthcoming and maybe that's why the story feels incomplete. There were some genuinely good dialogue between Yong Hoo and Father Ahn. And it was believable that Yong Hoo would become fond of him even with his feelings about God.
The last fight scene was choreographed really well. PSJ should be in way more action flicks. Looking forward to seeing him on the Ms. Marvel sequel.
The worst part of the movie was the special effects. I think they could have been done a lot better. The fire looked fake.

Another meh Jdrama for me.I give this a 3/10. Almost was a 5/10 b/c for the most part I was enjoying the storyline and the characters. Even the ones that were getting on my nerves. However, the last few eps were just super annoying. I will never understand the notion of doing what's best for the other person without speaking to them. Can't people decide for themselves what's best if they have all the facts???
Anyway, I liked the cast a lot. Yamazaki Kento, Miura Shohei, Nomura Shuhei and Kiritani Mirei. FL is really pretty; loved her face but her character really is the kind of woman I can't stand. I really loved Abe Junko as Ishikawa Wakaba. She played the FL's bestfriend.
I have a serious question. What the hell was the point of that gangster/man who wanted to buy the restaurant?? Paca!! Really just an unnecessary character.

The 2 leads I haven't seen in anything else but they were both good here. I liked the FLs character. Very fresh and I like how she knew what she wanted and who she was. I loved her interactions with her mother and with the bar owner played brilliantly by Lee El, whom I adore.
The scene at the hotel the first time Jiwoo and Jihoo are together had me in the floor. JiHoo's ex-girlfriend was super obnoxious and I'm glad she was only in a few scenes. I wouldnt watch again but it good enough to watch once.

This is a fairly good movie. I liked the beginning the most. The first 50 minutes of the film really keep you on the edge of your seat and the entiity is really scary. The jump scares were good and we get the traditional contortionist movements from the ghost/killer that Japanese horror movies are known for. I thought the last 30 minutes were not that great but overall the ending madeup for it. The cast is excellent. I genuinely liked all the actors and the characters they portrayed. I liked the developing friendships of the characters too. The friendship aspect of the movie takes this a notch above the traditional teen horror movie tropes. I also liked loneliness as a theme here. .
All in all I recommend watching at least once. That end credit scene is quite interesting; I may have to rewatch in a few months too see if I notice anything differently.

I'm really not into time travel shows but I really enjoyed the first few episodes of this series. The show is a solid ten in the beginning. The younger timeline is much more impactful than the adult timeline and it matched more closely with the anime, which I recently watched. The last 5 episodes were a complete let down but I have read that the ending of this series is more like the manga. I prefer the anime ending for sure. I plan on reading the manga in a few weeks.
The young cast is phenomenal especially, Uchikawa Reo as Satoru. He carries the show. Surprisingly, this is the last show he's been in. I also loved the actress Kurotani Tomoka, she played his mother. You know I love a great mother son combo.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo

This is a really good series overall and a really great cast as well. The only person I was familiar with in the main cast is Kang Ki Young and he's excellent here and the comic relief and the mentor to Woo Young Woo and the other young attorneys. The relationship between Woo Young Woo and Jun Ho was so sweet and wholesome and had the right amount of good romance and tension between the 2 leads. What the writers did really well was the dialogue between the mains when they talked about everything but especially when they had to consider breaking up and why. also loved that things were not too dragged out. There are some big reveals early on and I liked that.
I really liked the 2FL played by Ha Yoon Kyung. Just really great character all around but Soo Yeon is way to good for Min Woo. You'll see what I mean when you watch.
Not sure if a 2nd season is necessary even with the things that were left open. My biggest question after watching is why the CEO of Hanbada had the grudge against the CEO of Taesan?? That's never explained or did I miss it??

I actually thought this would be much funnier when I watched the trailer but there were some serious moments as well and the standard high school bullying which I hated. Rich kids always feeling threated by poorer/less fortunate students is so ridiculous.
I did like the friendhip between Gi Myeong, Chang Joo and Kim Nam Jeong. I liked Gi Myeong's mother as well. Very sweet and caring mother.

Super Cute
I was in the mood for something, light, fun and romantic. Fall in Love Like a Star delivered. It a sweet story about 2 childhood friends. One wants to be a musician and the other an agent. They love each other but Tian Xin knows that a relationship with Su Xing Yu will hinder his career so she breaks up with him. They meet again 5 years later and she becomes his agent and the sparks are still there but a paparazzi takes intimate pictures of them and once again she believes that the relationship will halt his now promising music career and she breaks up with him again. Eventually they get back together and live happily ever after. Super cute.I LMAO when Tian Xin blew on a horn and then she saw a picture of where the horn had been. Too damn funny. I also LOL when they were on an airplane and Tian Xin's assistant was freaking out about the plane going down. The movie is nothing to write home about but sweet and enjoyable.

I really liked the characters and the story for the most part. The FL and both ML really good. It's an average film with your standard revenge plot. I loved actor Wang Yung Sheng. He's the villian here but I like him in everything he plays in. His skills and charisma, always awesome. I didn't think the fight scenes were all that spectacular but there were two that were well choreographed. The fight scene between Jeanie Chang (FL) and Chan Lau (4th Brother) was excellent and the work with the pot was fantastic. The other was a fight scene between 2 older gentlemen; one of whom is the villain. Even though i don’t remember these 2 characters they were apparently part of the subplot. Fight was great with the 2 veteran martial arts actors. That was better than all the fights between any main characters. I really didnt even reacall the subplot while watching and was flabbergasted when the 2 showed up to fight over the 36 Deadly Styles book.
Bolo Yuen is here and for some inexplicable reason he is wearing a redheaded, braided wig. I literally, need someone to explain to me as to why the hell that wig was used. It looked like a black woman's wig from the 1970's disco era.

Slow and Boring
This is one of the most pointless movies I have ever watched.While the plot is interesting, the story is all over the place. The movie opens with the police chief having nightmares but we don't get an explanation for this until essentially the end of the movie. The whole time I thought she was having a mental breakdown and honestly she was but not for the reasons I thought. I also thought she was living in an alternate reality. The Chief 's daughter is a nuisance.
The main plot about prostitution is terrible and frankly, sad. The best part of the movie is actress, Lee Yeon who plays Yae Un, the girl who is allegedy being prostituted against her will. There could have been a better story here but there is not.
