#270 The Bow

English name: The Bow
Korean name: 활/Hwal
Year: 2005
Country: Korea
Running Time: 90 min
Director: Kim Ki-duk
Genre: Drama

A Kim Ki-Duk movie with very little dialogue. I think it was a good story. Maybe you think its weird and ieww. But the chemistry between the 2 main charachter must be very special. Only a weird disappointed ending! But i like the 2 young charachter in here!

The old men plays by Jeon Sung-hwan, i only know him from The Sword In The Moon. But i dont remember him because fell in sleep when i watch that movie. The reason that i want to watch this movie was because The girl plays by Han Yeo-reum. The girl from Samaritan girl! Is it me or she change very much. She became much more prettier! Maybe she got long hair in here! And in Samartitan girl short hair and a short performance so dont recognize her LOL. The student plays by Seo Ji-seok is just so Cutie!!! And another pictures so HOTTIIE!! :P I check his film/serie list. He's in an another movie of Kim Ki-Duk: Time and he have an long episode serie. But he's now in militair service for 2 years and will be back in may in 2009 :S PFFFF.





Summary:
As the film opens, it's only a couple months until the Girl turns 17, at which time the Old Man plans to marry her. In the meantime, he keeps her confined to his rickety fishing boat, leaving her only when he heads to shore on the barge to pick up supplies and fisherman. Whenever the fishermen ogle the striking young woman, the Old Man protects his charge by firing a warning arrow from his trusty bow. The Girl accepts his jealousy and possessiveness because she doesn't know any better, but all that changes when a handsome college student comes aboard and presents her with a new set of options.

#267 Stealth

Title: Stealth
Year: 2005
Country: USA
Running Time: 121 min
Director: Rob Cohen
Genre: Action / Thriller

I watched the trailer before and i expected something else than the storyline. LOL. Movie was ok not super but ok. I think 2 hours is too long! Maybe cut 20 minutes is better. Special effect was good! But mwahhh don't know. Not many to tell. Its ok

I like Josh Lucas more in Poseidon. He was maybe the most outstanding in here but not outstanding enough! Still looking for her other movie Sweet Home Alabama! Can;t find it! I think its the first time i watch a Jamie Foxx movie. In my opinion he only have a guest appearance. But he's funny in here. With his prime number and his Thai chickie LOL! Jessica Biel was outstanding in the scene when the korean were hunting on her! Great scene! But further hmmmm
