Set during the 18th century when Korea was still known as Josun, Sungkyunkwan Scandal is the latest historical Korean TV drama series to delight audiences worldwide.
Sungkyunkwan, Josun s most prestigious school, has its own set of rigid rules (e.g. no girls!) that even the king can t touch. But that's all about to change because of four very special students! Kim! Yoon-hee is a super smart girl, but she was born in an era when women were forbidden to study. To help support her grief-stricken family, she decides to pose as a boy and earn money from lazy scholars by doing their homework. One thing leads to another and she finds herself being accepted to Sungkyunkwan! But will she be able to hide her true identity (and avoid the punishment of death)?
Yoon-hee becomes friends with Lee Sun-joon, an uptight son-of-a-noble who loves following the rules, Moon Jae-shin, a young man who is scarred by his brother s tragic death, and Gu Yong-ha, a free-spirited soul whose life is a bit more complicated than he lets on. These four unlikely friends find themselves embroiled in romantic rivalries, campus politics, and even a top-secret mission to help the king change the course of Korean history!Crowd-pleasing romantic comedy 200 Pounds Beauty has certainly been one of the surprise box office hits of the year. Pulling in over five million ad! missions, it has become one of the top ten grossing films of a! ll time and the highest grossing romantic comedy ever. Directed by Kim Yong Hwa, the lighthearted and bitingly funny film revolves around a topic all too familiar in South Korea: plastic surgery. 200 Pounds Beauty made an overnight star out of lead Kim Ah Jung (When Romance Meets Destiny). The actress charmed both male and female moviergoers alike with her sassy, yet vulnerable performance as a young woman who becomes a singer after undergoing full body plastic surgery. Ju Jin Mo (Musa) stars as her producer and the handsome object of her affections. Bolstered by the popularity of the film, the soundtrack has also become a huge hit, particularly Kim Ah Jung's catchy rendition of Maria (Track 3). The most attention may have fallen on Maria, but the soundtrack contains plenty of other great songs and popular artists. Kim Ah Jung herself also sings Beautiful Girl, which comes as a solo version (Track 1) and a second version (Track 9) with And and Alex Chu of Clazziquai. Alex offers the solo track Dance with My Daddy (Track 5) as well. In keeping with the movie's theme, the soundtrack features popular rock band Loveholic's "Superstar" (Track 4) and female singer Youme's "Star" (Track 2). Other artists on the soundtrack include Kim Hyung Joong, Venny, and U.Hallelujah! Poster (27 x 40 Inches - 69cm x 102cm) (1998) reproduction poster print

Derek (Sean Patrick Thomas) has no such doubts; his own future is bright, and his attraction to Sara is immediate; they connect (predictably), and Sara's dormant funk emerges, with Derek's coaching, as she learns hip-hop dancing in a local club. Obligatory subplots are e! qually routine: Derek's sister (Kerry Washington) is a single ! mom stru ggling with her child's absentee father; Derek's best friend (Fredro Starr) feels trapped in his gangsta lifestyle; and Sara's once-estranged father (Terry Kinney) is doing his best to correct past mistakes. Within the confines of this standard follow-your-dream drama, director Thomas Carter capitalizes on a script that allows these characters to be real, intelligent, and thoughtful about their lives and their futures. It's obvious that Stiles's dancing was intercut with that of a professional double, but that illusion hardly matters when the rest of the movie's so earnestly positive and genuine. --Jeff Shannon Julia Stiles (MONA LISA SMILE) and Academy Award(R) winner Shirley MacLaine (1983 Best Actress, TERMS OF ENDEARMENT) star in CAROLINA, the endearing romantic comedy about a young woman (Stiles) trying to escape the eccentric ways of her wacky Southern family and meet the man of her dreams -- a nice, normal available guy. Finding him appears easier said than don! e until she meets a handsome and debonair Englishman. Will Carolina's dream turn into a nightmare when she introduces her perfect guy to her less-than-perfect family? And what will her best friend Albert have to say? As funny and charming as SWEET HOME ALABAMA, this Southern belle is sure to sweep you off your ever-loving feet.WHEN A PRE-MED STUDENT MEETS A HANDSOME PRINCE, SHE MUST DECIDE BETWEEN FOLLOWING HER HEART AND FOLLOWING HER DREAM.The classic girlhood fantasy of marrying a handsome prince is given a surprisingly realistic and subtle treatment in The Prince and Me. A pre-med student at the University of Wisconsin named Paige (Julia Stiles, 10 Things I Hate About You, Mona Lisa Smile) collides with a lazy, presumptuous exchange student named Eddie (Luke Mably, 28 Days Later) and, after a prickly beginning, falls in love with him--only to discover that Eddie is Edvard, the Crown Prince of Denmark. The scenario is pure wish-fulfillment, but! director Martha Coolidge (Valley Girl, Rambling Ros! e) n ot only takes a closer look at what royal life is really like, she also takes the time to turn these fantasy roles into characters that have more than two dimensions. It's still a romantic comedy aimed at teenagers, but within the genre's parameters, the movie has a strong visual style and what might be called depth. --Bret FetzerO - DELUXE EDITION - DVD MovieWhen you compare O to William Shakespeare's Othello, you'll realize just how well this modern adaptation really works. Shakespeare's tragedy transfers nicely to the film's contemporary private school setting, where Othello is now Odin (Mekhi Phifer), star of the basketball team and the school's only African American student. Desdemona is Desi (Julia Stiles), the dean's daughter and Odin's girlfriend, and Iago is Hugo (Josh Hartnett), the coach's steroid-shooting son, who jealously plants seeds of doubt that fester in Odin's mind, leading them all to a tragically violent fate. As directed by Tim Blak! e Nelson (who played the dimwit Delmar in O Brother, Where Art Thou?), this is a clever and serious interpretation of Shakespeare that, sadly, was shelved for two years when its distributor balked at potential comparisons to the Columbine massacre. Such fears were pointless; this well-acted film delivers an anti-violence message that younger viewers will readily appreciate. --Jeff Shannon

This collection contains three soft-core storefront classics just like the ones you used to see on 42nd St. Inside one of these shoebox theaters a plywood or curtained off parti! tion was built in the back of the room to hide the projector, ! and a sh eet was hung up or a wall was painted white to serve as a screen. Fifty to a hundred folding chairs were then placed in rows. I can't recreate the smell of BO and disinfectant, but the scratches and splices on these prints are real, they weren't generated by a computer. So I invite you to create your own storefront style theater in your basement or garage, invite over your friends and lets get this grindhouse party going! 42nd Street Pete
Feature synopsis
Marriage America Style
Marriage American Style starts out with a washed-out blonde bitching to buxom Uschi Digard about her husband's piggish behavior. He's so rough, she moans. Uschi insists that men just don't know how to treat a woman, and then, of course, she makes her move.
Love Me Or Leave Me
Love Me or Leave Me opens with a couple thrashing around on a bed to a Nick Phillips style narration. A longhaired brunette (Mindy Brandt) is bitching to her lawyer about how disinterested her hubby is when it co! mes to sex. At first it was fine, he really turned me on, she says. In flashback, we see her hubby doing the nasty; but when it's time to drive it home, the guy runs out of gas. Her tale of frustration told, the lawyer suggests she try taking her husband to a doctor. Good call, Perry Mason!
Bull's Market
Tom and Ben have a company that's not doing very well. Their blonde associate, Sheila, however, has a brilliant idea: instead of paying the shareholders cash dividends, why not pay them with sex!? Sheila then agrees to get some of her friends involved!

Co-writer and director Stephan Elliott (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) keeps everything breezy and fun, though the clashes between Larita and her malicious mother-in-law are keenly felt. Elliott's period sensibility is very strong, not least of all his appreciation of John's father (Colin Firth), a restless intellectual and member of the so-called Lost Generation of World War I veterans. Firth's performance as a man distanced from his family's preoccupations and mat! erial woes is a real highlight of Easy Virtue. When he ! dances a tango, late in the story, one can see years of repressed desire erupt in him. --Tom Keogh

Making The Best Next Thing
The Next "Grand Idea"
Two Minutes In The Future With Jessica Biel
Visualizing The Next MoveThe weirdness of actor Nicolas Cage and the weirdness of science-fiction author Philip K. Dick seem like a natural fit. The premise, taken from a short story by Dick, is a good one: A mediocre Las Vegas magician named Chris Johnson (Cage) can see into the future--but only about two minutes at the most. Just enough to pull off his act and to make some money at the gambling tables, so long as he's discreet. Unfortunately, he hasn't been discreet enough; a government agent (Julianne Moore) has sussed out his precognitive talent and wants to use him t! o track down terrorists. But all Johnson cares about is a beautiful young woman (Jessica Biel, The Illusionist) that he can see in his future--much further in his future than he's ever seen before. Next has flashes that point to a much, much better movie than it turned out to be. A sequence in which Johnson, clairvoyantly explores all the different permutations of how he might approach his mystery woman is both funny and thought-provoking, and when Johnson avoids pursuers by knowing just the right moment to turn a corner or duck his head, it's smart and suspenseful. Unfortunately, the terrorist part of the plot is utterly perfunctory and precognition is reduced to an action movie gimmick. Somewhere in there is the kernel of a romantic comedy about precognition that's just waiting to be made. Cage gives a solid if unsurprising performance, Moore is basically earning a paycheck, but Biel is unexpectedly good (and her part is considerably better-written than your! usual romantic interest); her performance suggests a better f! uture th an anyone might have predicted. --Bret Fetzer

Inspired by a true story and the cla! ssic 197 4 film. A group of teenagers take a detour from a road trip and what happens next is beyond anyone?s darkest fears and raw nightmares.The 2003 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre adheres to the pure and simple slasher movie formula: Introduce a gaggle of sexy young people, make vague gestures to distinguish them--Jessica Biel (Summer Catch) wants to get married and doesn't like pot, so she's our moral compass--then start hacking them to pieces one by one. The visual palette includes grimy crucified dolls, fly-specked pig carcasses, body parts floating in murky jars, a tobacco-chewing redneck sheriff, and many slender beams of sunlight cutting through dank, dusty interiors. The camera lovingly photographs Biel's tank-topped bosom and sculpted abs as she's running in terror from a bloated, chainsaw-wielding, human-skin-wearing maniac. This remake lacks the macabre comedy of the original; it's all about the nauseating sensation of waiting for something to jump ! out of the dark. Also featuring Eric Balfour (Six Feet Under) and R. Lee Ermey (Full Metal Jacket, Mail Call). --Bret FetzerSUSPENSE IS ON THE LINE! After getting a frantic call on his cell phone from a kidnapped woman, a young man must battle his way through a ruthless world of lies and murder to rescue her. A fast-paced thriller in the vein of Phone Booth and Speed that will keep you riveted with edge-of-your-seat car chase scenes.
