A while back I posted the promo trailer for this movie which came with English subs but now the trailer has been polished and edited up to a better professional standard and now doesnt have English Subs! 
The movie will open in South Korea in September, check out the new trailer after the break...

the tale of two women. One wants to escape to the idyllic island of Moodo, the other wants to leave it for the big city. Seoul banker Hae-won once visited Moodo to see her grandparents and had befriended Bok-nam a girl who still writes despite Hae-won never bothering to reply. But on Moodo again to regain balance to her life, Hae-won is shocked to see everyone treating Bok-nam like a slave. As practically the only young woman on the island, she is a plaything for the men and a workhorse for the women. But true to form Hae-won remains indifferent to Bok-nam’s pleas for help, not wanting to become involved in complicated situations. Then Bok-nam loses the only thing that had kept her going and finally snaps, a sickle in hand to mete out the bloodiest of revenge. - Frightfest

This retrospective is a fantastic way to learn and experience movies from another country or as one experienced movie goer said to me "diverse your pallette", basically he meant think out the comfort box of Hollywood a little and embrace the wonderful movies world cinema has on offer and what better way you guys can start by taking in the retrospective of Hong Sang-Soo

Everybody must be loco down Mexico way, well they are in EL INFIERNO aka HELL! drugs, violence, body parts, guys with poswer tools, its el diablo at his best or should we say Luis Estrada in his latest movie. If you want some  black comedy with lashings of graphical violence but in a funny way Estrada's movie takes the rip out of the Mexican drug trade and Danny Trejo is nowhere to be seen!!!
Check out the trailer after the break...

Benjamin Garcia - Benny - is deported from the United States. Back home and against a bleak picture, Benny gets involved in the narco business, in which he has the first success of his life, a spectacular rise surrounded by money, women, violence and fun. But very soon he'll discovers that criminal life does not always keeps his promises. Epic black comedy about the world of Mafia and organized crime, HELL helps us to understand what everybody is asking: What is happening in Mexico today?

sourceTWITCH
Dante Lam's STOOL PIGEON is only days away from been released in Hong Kong so the last minute marketing brings a second and final trailer before its August 26th release. If you love Hong Kong action/thrillers like the way they used to do it when Woo ruled the waves well Dante Lam is your man! This is vintage Hong Kong Thriller at its best!, enjoy trailer after the break....

Senior Inspector Don Lee relies heavily on the information provided by stool pigeons in his job.

Barbarian is a painstakingly meticulous armed robber. Don needs an informant to infiltrate his gang. He recruits street-racer Guy. Guy provides information on Barbarian's next job, but Don is unable to effectively act on them until the final moment. Since Barbarian has not left any evidence, Don is pressured to convince Guy to become a witness for the prosecution.

Don promises to provide Guy with a new identity in another country, but the departure is beset by accidents and Guy only barely makes it to safety.

Haunted by his ruined relationships with his ex-wife and former stool pigeons, Don no longer wants to be part of a world that is one betrayal after another.

Are you one of those people who just cant get a date to have a lovelife?Cyrano Dating Agency maybe the ones to help you! This is new movie from South Korea  about  the agency that  helps the clients but they move together working on secret missions. with their goal to work in the background and until now they've had 100% sucess until they meet Min-yeong.
He is mr unpredictable, got the qaulities but just bad at the dating but he has one lady in his sights Hee-joong, very loveable person  but when the agency sees Min-Yeong's profile panic stations trigger, can this be another sucessfull job for the agency?
It sound abosuletly crazy and if Hollywood attempted this movie it would just be so generic another Hitch probably, only the Asians can get away with making obsure movies sucessfully.

Trailer for Derek Kwok's FROZEN (Wai nei chung ching )

First time I noticed the title of this movie I was expecting it was a Chinese remake of the Adam Green movie of the same which comes out in uk on October 1st, but this is completely different.
Derek Kwok's Frozen or Wai Nei Chung Ching is about a woman Cyronically frozen in 1989 to waken up 20 years later to find out her then newborn is older than her! We've seen many movies likes of Freaky Friday where kids swap bodies with children, but I cant recall a movie like this where the kid is now older than the parent though has been the odd time travelling classic movie such as Back To The Future where Marty meets his mum.
The movie does sound very interesting and does have the charm you expect from a chinese/hong kong movie intwined with some fantasy, I didnt expect to see those big hairstyles again (I was 14 in 1989 remember them well!!!)
Frozen is out in Hong Kong on September 2nd, trailer after the break....
