It´s based on a true story, so it´s more creepier than it already is.
wow, how far someone goes to fulfill their dreams.
very violently and good kill-scenes!

she doesn't even stop killing of pregnant people.
o.O I've seen many brutal horror movies, but this was too much for me.
poor little baby.

a very good movie, it´show you a different side of a metropolitan city and encourages us to think of.
have to go that far? could this happen in my quarters?


a very good movie for watching alone with popcorn and coke hahha.

I'm fascinated in Kang Dong Won performance in every movie I came across to see. Although not all his movies have outstanding plot unfortunately.

This movie shows that time spent with person who we loved is most precious and even because of time passing by and those memories will eventually fade away that person will haunt us in our dreams. How can we tell the difference between reality and the dream when the dream is a place with our beloved person. I think this movie tells us that...

M is a film which some people will love and some will hate. It's really complex to describe. I must admit that on the visual site this move is just great, all the twist in the plot and all strange conversation gave me goosebumps. I was so curious how this story would end. I was pleased with the ending, it was good, it explained all the crazy stuff that were going on in the movie. Actually it was a little sad and beautiful in the same time. Music was good, but not so memorable to recommend, although all the background sounds that were in the movie, were perfect fit for the story and it gave it soul.

If you like Kang Dong Won as I do, this movie is a must see, but if you don't it will bored you and annoy you. Re-watch value in this kind of movie I think none.

This movie was unexpectedly touching. I figured I'd watch this movie and get a few laughs, and that would be all it was good for. I was wrong. I actually teared up at one point.

The plot, for the first 3/4 of the movie, didn't really make me care. I was just in it for the laughs. However, in the last fourth, the plot picks up and becomes more meaningful. There are a lot of laughs in the movie. Don't get me wrong, it is a comedy, but there are a couple touching moments. Some plot points, though, seemed contrived just to induce a laugh. They had no meaning to the overall story, or if they did, I didn't catch that meaning.

Acting, for the most part, was fine. Since it is a comedy, and there were many comedic roles, they were acted comically which is what I expected. I watched this movie for Han Hyo Joo. She was great. HaHa (Ha Dong Hoon) was in this movie, too, which was a pleasant surprise. It wasn't hard for me to imagine him in this role, as I've seen him act similarly (sometimes) on Running Man.

I may watch this movie again, but I don't know. I enjoyed it, but I don't know if I can sit through this 2 hour movie again. Overall, I liked the movie, and would probably remember it but that's only because there was a moment that shocked me and literally made my mouth hang open. If you have 2 hours to kill and don't want to think too much, then this movie is great.

While it was years ago that this movie was premiered in movie houses, the emotional impact and the unforgettable story continue to make this one of the best cinematic experiences ever. Tatsuya Fujiwara and Masanobu Ando gave excellent performances.

The story revolves around a group of young students who were forced to survive at all cost during a time in Japan when chaos and violence ruled the streets. In order to make sure, the youth are aware of their predicament and to ensure that the adults continue to rule, only one of them can survive and thus the lesson is learned.

Never mind the comparison with The Hunger Games, because Battle Royale is way way better than the other movie.

I've had this on my plan to watch list for a while. So, since I was in the mood to watch a fantasy movie (around 3 days ago) I decided to watch it and I finally finished it today. Yes, it took me that long to finish watching this movie.

When I read the synopsis, the story looked interesting and like something I might enjoy. Sadly, for me, the synopsis was the most interesting and fun part of the movie.

The acting was nothing exceptional. Not awesome. Not terribly bad either. Just standard Japanese acting. Also, I can't really say any of the actors was better than the other because they were about the same for me. I didn't feel they made the characters come to life and, sometimes, it felt like they were just saying the lines they learned. I didn't even believe they were truly in love. But if you prefer Japanese acting above all others, it probably won't be a problem. For me, it was.

The music was also nothing especial, but it made the movie bearable. And the scenery shots were amazing.

The movie wasn't bad and I really wanted to like it. It was ninjas with powers! But I felt it could have been a lot better and I was not impressed in the least. As for re-watching this movie in the near or distant future, that will not be happening.

I love Ruby Lin! And this movie is definitely worth-watching! Once again she has proved her acting skills.
Apart from that, I really like the storyline and the whole process of the movie.
At first I thought this is going to be a horror/ghost movie only, but it isn't! The story and the whole composition harmonize brilliantly with the music and the special effects - leaving me astonished.
The whole concept captured my attention and overwhelmed me with such an eagerness for more...
The themes and motives inside this movie are really meaningful and should be appreciated and remarked.
The historical background and the superstitious people back then make this movie seem so real.
Really loved it!

The story isn't really original, but it is well done. I think that I should just warn you right now that the ending is beautiful, but sad. The movie is heart warming and sweet love story. The actors do a great job in this movie of giving a good feel to the story. There isn't any angst or bad guys so if you are looking for a feel good movie, then this is the one to watch. The music is nice. I probably wouldn't rewatch it just because of the ending. Overall it is a good movie.

I really enjoyed this movie. The subtleties of the actions of the characters is really what drives the story forward, moreso than the dialogue. There's a lot of times you'll have to read between the lines of scenes, and really get into the sub-context to completely grasp an understanding of what's going on. With that, it's not a movie for people who want things a little more fast paced, or completely spelt out.

I came across this movie because I was bored. I was not in the mood for something boring.
As soon as this movie began, it had my attention.
It's a pretty basic plot that if it were any other movie it'd probably be boring. But this movie had me laughing and going OMG! because of all the antics and trouble that Sophie would get into.
It was so entertaining! I was only 20 min into the movie when I texted my cousin to tell her to watch it.
And then out of nowhere, there's a twist on the basic plot.
It was refreshing.
The characters were amazing. I wish we could've seen more of her friends or even some other supporting characters because they were such rich characters with a lot of potential.
But this is Sophie's Revenge and therefore it revolves around her revenge.
All in all it was a cute, fun, entertaining movie. I'm so glad I stumbled across it. If I could find it, I would totally purchase it.

This is one of the most beautifully shot movies I have yet watched...
You know, I watched this movie first time a year ago, and rated it 7, and when I rewatched it yesterday, I was socked how I could have 'insulted' this movie that much, maybe I can say I was not attentive enough during my first watch (though that's a lame excuse, as yesterday my eyes were glued to the screen)... Let's say I wasn't in the right state of mind for this movie at that time... I am glad I suddenly decided to rewatch it yesterday.
The cinematography is so perfect, there were scenes my breath was caught somewhere in my throat... The colors (if you decide to watch it just download it, and preferably HD, the bigger the file, the better, trust me) were driving me crazy! The hill on which they placed the mailbox became one of the places I want to visit before I die, it's the most beautiful, peaceful place! The way they shot it at least made me want to go there,sometimes it seemed I could even see the wind blowing the grass and the hair of two lonely characters standing there...
The plot is simple, and honestly I didn't need more complicated, as the scenes were so rich visually, other complications were unnecessary...
Acting is wonderful! As a big fan of Han Hyo-Joo, one more time came to adore her character.
First thing about JaeJoong I noticed was his husky voice, which drove me crazy, I was WAITING for him to talk... I think he was a perfect person to portray JaeJoon...
The music is very complimentary to the movie, perfect match... calm, relaxing and light...
Also the symbolic meaning of the movie adds to it value so much more... White lies to help people, is it right or wrong? Teaching a lesson by making the person to look at life from a whole another angle of life... Learning how to withstand the difficulties of life from zero... falling in love after being hurt...falling in love...^^

While writing this review I'm still crying mine eyes out... This story is so touching, so sad, so emotional, so beautiful...

I was inspired to watch Our Happy Time because of Kang Dong Won, recently I became interested in his movies.
What can I say, the story, cast and music are all great. I'm listening it right now, maybe it's not good because it makes me wanna cry more and more...

When I saw the title I though it will be just a silly love story. And after watching this movie I felt so betrayed. I wasn't ready for this kind of emotions that this movie put me through. How to love and forgive how to cherish life and enjoy someones company, how to smile and cry - this movie is all about that and much more. I highly recommend re-watching this movie over and over again.

If you like fight movies with a good ending then this is your kind of movie.
It starts off with Joe getting into trouble and events lead him to the prison where he begins to follow the lessons from the "old man" on boxing. After getting into a couple more fights he meets the guy who makes him want to really get into boxing by basically Joe just wanting to just beat him.
It shows the intense training and how hard they work up for their fight together.
If there was much music in the movie I didn't really notice since I was too busy watching all the fighting haha.
Some scenes might be a little sad but the ending and movie as a whole I'd say was good.

One word: HILARIOUS

This is about a guy who leaves home to study music at a university. His ambition is to one day produce indie pop songs to the world. There's just a small problem.

He takes a job part-time as a lead singer of a metal band. Although it's only a temporary job... or so he thought.

It jumps a few years later and he's still in the band but now it's becomed a extremely popular underground metal band. He produces music for the band but clearly this isn't what he wants.

The band rises up worldwide becoming the next number 1 heavy metal band and in the end, they have a duel against a former heavy metal artist, Jack.

This is absolutely funny, couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole movie. A must watch if you're looking for some comedy.

This sequel is better than the first. The directing gets better and so the editing unlike the first one who I feel nothing as I watch it.

And kudos for casting beautiful actors/actresses and this movie sequel is closer to the Japanese movie Battle Royale.

The only thing that bothers me is the ending... It keeps as hanging. But overall I recommend it!
