Somehow this movie snuck out on DVD under my radar Inoticed it on yesasia this morning).

Again, i'll eat anything by Kwak and this looks bloody cute to me.

I really don't think i've seen the old swordplay transposed to modern day so literally. It looks very different. Perhaps Arahan was the last time and this looks a lot like that film (except with a female lead of course) so i'm sure to enjoy.

I watched My Mighty Princess recently. It aint good.

Is Hannah still working on a review for it?
If she aint then I might write one. If she is then i'll just vomit up my opinion here.

Mike's not kidding. It did reside in post production hell for 3 years apparently too. I felt the music and cinematography were good, all else.

EPIC FAIL!

It started off quite well but then dribbled away to nothing. It was almost as if the director just lost interest in it.

Cyborg She, picking up on Andrew's mention earlier, was much better, but still didn't contain the necessary levels of Win.

A strange movie. Good cast, good director but eventually disappointing. It sure looked pretty, and the first half was very entertaining. And then it kind of forgot what sort of movie it wanted to be. It was like eating a bag of Revels, when you have a big run on the nice ones, feel disappointed with the orange one, and then finish with a run on the coffee flavoured ones.
