The poster and first teaser are out for the chase action thriller The Watchers (also going by the title Cold Eyes), starring Jung Woo-sung as a mob boss on the run from the law — the super creepy Big Brother Is Watching kind of law. I’m pretty sure Jung Woo-sung is still the bad guy... More »

Horror flick The Webtoon unleashes spine-chilling trailer
So usually I’ll watch a movie trailer and look for things to like about it, sometimes very readily and at other times with effort, in my lifelong goal of hoping for the best.

Lee Min-ki turns into a cold-blooded killer for Monster

49th Baeksang Arts Awards
The Baeksang Arts Awards really snuck up on me this year. This awards ceremony is the lone wolf being held in the springtime rather than toward the end of the year (as is the case with the broadcaster events and film awards like the Grand Bells and Blue Dragons), and is also unusual in that...
