JSA: Joint Security Area (product link) Drama / War What would you do if you were stationed at an intense border between two technically warring countries? The movie starts with a conflict but the importance is not the "what" but the "why". The mystery unfolds watching the humanness for both opposing sides.
I bought "JSA" only hearing that it was a great film, and after watching I'd have to agree that it was a cleverly made movie. The acting is impeccable from the whole cast, and the suspense can become gripping. Ultimately, the story is about humanity and what happens in strenuous situations. The movie still thrills me even after watching it multiple times.
"My Sassy Girl" is one of my favorite films of all time. The funny thing is that you actually get more out of the film watching it multiple times. There are so many tie-ins that are laced in the movie that you won't recognize it until you watch it the second, third...time.
For those that don't know the story was written on the Internet and then made into a film. The story has a great combination of comedy and romance. The acting was spectacular: Cha Tae Hyun's facial expressions drives the movie. The chemistry between the main characters can be turbulent yet believable; but that's the fun behind this witty movie.
Most people would be content watching it the first time but I challenge anyone to watch it multiple times and not get something new out of the plural viewing. Regardless of whether watching the movie for the comedy or the romance, "My Sassy Girl" will not disappoint.
Sex Is Zero (product link) Comedy / Romance Korea's answer to America's "National Lampoon". Just like many of the "National Lampoon" movies, "Sex is Zero" can be down right dirty with its jokes. Despite the depravity of the jokes, the film still has a level of warmth and caring not found in crass humor movies. However, some have found that the drama was a bit of a kill-joy which came up too unexpected.
As with many of the "National Lampoon" movies, the plot revolves around a college theme with sex (Obviously from the title) and friendship as the base of the movie. The gags are very lewd and some would call them vile. But if you enjoy "National Lampoon" movies, you'll laugh out loud.
This isn't a cerebral movie and those looking for high-brow humor, look else where. But if you're looking for outright mindless humor with a twist of drama, you'll love the film; heaven knows I did.
