“The Good, the Bad, the Weird”, the latest film from Korean master director Kim Ji Woon sees him delving into yet another genre, having tried his hand at horror with “A Tale of Two Sisters” and gangster melodrama with “A Bittersweet Life”. As can probably be gleamed from the title, the film...

Just got in two new images from the remake of “Sorority Row”, a tale of murder, fraternity sisters, and hot chicks with fire axes. And oh yeah, a cussing Carrie fisher. Check them out below. When five sorority girls inadvertently cause the murder of one of their sisters in a prank gone wrong,...

Ji-woon Kim’s “A Bittersweet Life” is one of those Korean gangster movies (Korea makes about a billion of these a year, give or take a couple of million) that really convinced me the Koreans were still making great movies that didn’t involve cute girls dying of unexplained medical...

It’s Liam Neeson in a movie you wouldn’t necessarily expect the long, angular Irishman to be fronting: an action-thriller about an ex-CIA spy who must come out of retirement when white slavers abduct his teenage daughter while she’s in Paris with a slutty friend. Neeson hops on a plan...

“The Uninvited” is a horror movie about an evil stepmother (played by Elizabeth Banks, of all people!) who tries to kill her two step kids played by Arielle Kebbel and Emily Browning. The dad, apparently, is out to lunch somewhere. Or at least, that’s what I gather from the recent new...

Our latest round of new gallery additions include two new images from Sarah Michelle Gellar’s “Possession”, the remake of a South Korean thriller about body-switching and other fun past times that may or may not get released sometime this century; there’s also a new image from...

A mentally unstable girl, her even more unstable big sister, an evil step mom, a seemingly uncaring dad, and a ghost in the house. Yup, it’s not a good time to be Emily Browning, who stars in “The Uninvited” as a young girl who returns home from a recent stay at a mental institution...

I don’t know what’s funnier — that Elizabeth Banks, star of “The 40-Year Old Virgin” and Kevin Smith’s upcoming “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” is playing a creepy step-mom with murderous intentions, or that, for those who have seen the original, the trailer...

It’s been a while since we heard anything about Charles and Thomas Guard’s “The Uninvited”, their American remake of the South Korean horror film “A Tale of Two Sisters”. (Here’s a bit of trivia: “The Uninvited” was also the title of another South...

“Hansel and Gretel” is Korean director Im Pil Seong’s follow up to his debut “Antarctic Journal”, a slow moving slice of ambiguous horror which although visually impressive managed to confound as much as it did chill. For his sophomore outing he has taken a similarly offbeat approach, drawing...

According to the ghouls at Fangoria, Charles and Thomas Gaurds’ remake of Kim Ji-woon’s “A Tale of Two Sisters” (since retitled “The Uninvited”, not to be confused with another South Korean horror movie of the same name) has gotten bumped from its 2008 release date...

This is actually not a bad idea: the powers that be have decided that the title of their horror remake of “A Tale of Two Sisters” (called likewise in the American version) is not scary enough, so they’ve changed the title to “The Uninvited”. Which, for Asian movie watchers...

I haven’t been keeping up with Kim Ji-Woon’s latest, a Korean Western called “The Good, The Bad, and The Weird” in recent months, mostly because it’s Korean and I don’t have that much insight into Korean movie news; plus, I just assume it’ll be out when it’ll...

The Uninvited (A Tale of Two Sisters Remake 2008) Movie Images Gallery Plot: Anna Rydell returns home to her sister (and best friend) Alex after a stint in a mental hospital, though her recovery is jeopardized thanks to her cruel stepmother, aloof father, and the presence of a ghost in their home. Starring:...

Against all the odds, with the genre having long been lingering in the cinematic doldrums, 2007 turned out to be a bumper year for Korean horror, largely thanks to the willingness of directors to innovate and to try something a little different than the usual simple tales of vengeful long haired spirits...

Two new images for two upcoming movies surfaced today, one for the “A Tale of Two Sisters” remake with Arielle Kebbel and Emily Browning and another for Jon Favreau’s “Iron Man”, starring Robert Downey Jr. And since neither pictures are all that spectacular (although the...

“Alone” has been causing considerable excitement amongst horror fans as it marks the return of Thai directors Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom, whose 2004 debut outing “Shutter” still stands as one of best modern Asian ghost films. Advance word on the film has been...

Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson play sisters who join forces to seduce Eric Bana in Justin Chadwick’s historical drama “The Other Boleyn Girl”. Well, not really. Yes, they play sisters, but they’re competing for the role of mistress to Eric Bana’s King Henry VIII....

“Swordswomen Three” is another slice of early 1970s Shaw Brothers martial arts action now given a new lease of life on DVD, and is another sold on the idea of revolving around female protagonists, in this case played by studio actresses Lin Jia (”Return of the One Armed Swordsman”),...

As a matter of principle, I’m not into a lot of the Hollywood remakes of Asian movies. Especially when it comes to Asian horror movies, because invariably you, the American consumer, is getting a remake of an original that was little more than a rehash of the same-o same-o to begin with. If you’ve...
