My Mighty Princess


My Mighty Princess is a 2008 south korean film about a college girl who is a master of martial arts and has super human strength. She finds herself being ridiculed by her peers all the time, so she decides to give up on her abilities and try to live a normal life. She is the only child in her family and the only one to carry on the family traditions, so her dad gets mad that she is getting worse and giving up on her training. He then gets her childhood friend who is also gifted with the martial arts abilities to start pushing her back into practice again.
Meanwhile there is an evil martial arts villan guy who wants to kill everyone else and become the top martial artist guy...He brings his war to the girl's father and nearly kills him. He is left in the hospital in critical condition, so she decides to train again and learn her deceased mother's super martial arts skills to get revenge.

Filled with action, drama, great fighting sequences, this movie is most definately a comedy, but has a juicy plot. I found myself laughing a whole lot throughout the movie. Even my sister who isn't as into asian films as I am was laughing at moments! Every charecter is very likeable and the actors are really good. The main girl's actions and expressions are hillarious. The movie kind of ran on the longer side, but that could also be because I was tired when I was watching it. The ending kind of left some things unsolved, especially the love interest between the main girl, her friend from her hockey team, and her hockey team's much older police-woman crush. This story is very entertaining to watch, but none of it has any conclusion in the end. The ending also can hint at a possible sequel, although I heard that this movie was actually finished 2 years prior to it's theatrical release due to delays of some sort. I don't know if that means anything.

This movie is another 5/5 for me. I have a feeling every movie I review will have this rating Haha. At least most of them anyway. This movie is awesome!





Buy the DVD!

Save The Green Planet


Save The Green Planet is kind of a popular title in asian cinema, so there are guaranteed a million reviews already. I am going to do my best to review this movie. I viewed this film via rental from netflix.

Save The Green Planet is about a man who is obsessed with aliens (and insists he isn't crazy), and his girlfriend who loves him so much that she goes along with anything he says. Together they kidnap, torture, and eventually kill men. They do this because he is convinced beyond all else that they are actually aliens from space posing as humans sent to earth with the means to destroy it. His latest kidnapee draws attention from the feds and the hunt is on.

Basically, the alien obsessed murderer kidnaps this big executive business guy who runs scientific experiments of some kind. He is certain that his experiments are what caused his mother to get ill and in a coma for many years. He brings him to his house far up on a mountain where he also has a honey bee farm thing. Under his house he has hidden rooms full of mannequins and this is where he does all his torturing. He ties up the man on a chair and begins interrogating him about being an alien. The executive guy is absolutely dumbfounded and scared as hell. The murderer man then begins to torture him to get him to admit that he is in fact an alien sent to destroy earth.

Meanwhile there are some federal police guys searching for the kidnapped man. There is a rival investigator guy who this other investigator hates and they are both trying to solve the mystery.

Eventually it is revealed that the murderer guy has had many traumatizing events happen in his life and is believed to be the reason why he is so sick. The investigator learns of other people who went missing in the past that he is sure the same murderer guy kidnapped.

Near the end, it drags out kind of with escaping, then again capturing, back and forth over and over. It was still enjoyable though. It had some pretty nasty torture scenes but this movie is also a comedy in a way. Like a really dark comedy.
Then the end gets pretty predictable, but it was nice to see it happen. You also start feeling bad for the murderer and the end credits just make you want to bawl (while laughing hysterically).

Also this movie had sort of a moral/message about why humans are the way they are and how we are destroying ourselves. When I was watching it, I couldn't help but agree.

This was definately a favorite in my list of good korean films, and asian films..
Even though I have yet to write up that list. People should already know what they are getting into when they watch this movie. If you are into shock/horror asian cinema then just go watch it already. There is no excuse.
In my opinion this was a must-see for fans of the genre. Or anybody with a sense of (dark) humor. 5/5
Buy it for only 8 bucks!
