'A Bittersweet Life' (2005)

Genre: Action, Crime, and Drama Director: Jee-woon Kim Writer:  Jee-woon Kim Editor: Jae-geun Choi Cinematographer: Ji-yong Kim Rated: R In my Film Criticism class, we watched the Korean movie, 'A Bittersweet Life'.  'A Bittersweet Life' is about Sunwoo, who works in an expensive hotel and part of the mob.  One day, his boss orders him to follow the boss' girlfriend, Heesoo, and make sure she's not seeing anyone while he's away for business.  Sunwoo falls in love with Heesoo and makes decisions that buried him alive, literally.    After his slump, he recovered and plan his revenge.   Kim Jee-Won directed and wrote the film.    Lee Byun-Hun stars in it, and to my opinion he did a great job!    He expressed the emotions Sunwoo feels during each scene well, which helped me to emphases with the character, Sunwoo.    The film was made in 2005, which you can tell by the phones they use~    In this post...

I was really excited to see Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson in action.  This was my second time watching a film by myself in theaters. The two main actors have good chemistry with their funny arguments. Michael, the go by the plan guy, ‘boring is safe’; while Darius goes with the flow, ‘when life gives you (poop), you make Kool-aid’.  It wa...

'Atomic Blonde' might be my favorite film so far of 2017.
