I Am Legend: Episode 6
by | August 22, 2010 | 37 Comments
Episode 6 really picks up on the momentum that episode 5 left off with. I am starting to fully appreciate the characters because I have an idea of how they’ll act or react. The plot may have been jerky in the beginning, but I think it’s going much more smoothly now. And OMG at the... More »

Kim Nam-gil’s last photoshoot, no really this time
by | August 22, 2010 | 66 Comments
I know I said it was his last photoshoot last time, but this time it’s really The Last. I think. Probably. Kim Nam-gil did a pre-army shoot for Ad Hoc, in which he models a ‘chic-casual’ look, sporting a vibe similar to his Bad Guy persona. Looks like his weeks before enlistment were busier than...

by | August 21, 2010 | 37 Comments
Upcoming gangster-action film Invincible [무적자], starring Song Seung-heon, Joo Jin-mo, Kim Kang-woo, and Jo Han-seon, has released its official poster and trailer. It looks cheesy, epic, and therefore awesome. The remake of 1986′s A Better Tomorrow (starring Chow Yun-fat) can’t possibly top the original, in my opinion. That film is the highlight of one of...

I Am Legend: Episode 5

YIPPEEE!!! Developments! Plot-wise and character-wise. While the performance side didn’t really deliver much in this episode (for plot’s sake), I’m happy the pacing is finally picking up again. I am getting that *feeling* of “I’m-lost-because-I-don’t- understand-a-character’s-intentions,” but I’m hoping it all works out in the end, and I’ll end up wanting to go back and... More »
