Hui lu (2007)
Why the low rating !!
Wonder why such low rating for this one. It's a suspense thriller that unfolds slowly but then picks up quickly. Even though it was made in 2007, it has the 80s feel and the charm of Hong Kong.
I think, every movie has a mood that you should watch with. Put this on a lazy Saturday afternoon with a bottle of wine and you'll enjoy it better.
With Kids - No.
Kwa-sok-seu-kaen-deul (2008)
Entertaining, and Hilarious - hits all the points
Don't go by its name. There's no scandal. It's a fun and entertaining movie.
Many movies are made on this topic - before and after this one was made. But this movie is genuinely hilarious without going over the top as well as has a nice overall theme. The trio, especially the little one, are outstanding. There are several subplots in this movie and each unfolds very nicely. Highly recommended.
With Kids - Yes, PG-13
Watch again - yes, a few times.
Tamago (2015)
Brilliant Visuals and Story - Deserves all the awards
This movie is an excellent example of how you take a simple coming of age theme where a kid is all grown up and ready to move into real world and package it into an exhilarating and visually stunning movie.
The locales of Kii peninsula are simply breathtaking. The various camera angles capturing not only the beauty but the mood, the vivid colors showcasing the turquoise bay and the maroon sunset as well as wonderful use of out-of-focus and different lenses to capture fireworks, wide-angle ocean, beaches as well as the emotions of the lead characters is beyond describing.
The struggles of Sora leave you wanting to help her. Finally, the tenderness of a father-daughter relationship - ALL of this in just over 1 hour.
With Kids - Yes
Watch again - Yes, many, many, many times. In fact, I watched all over just finishing once !!
Don't look for a plot. Just try and understand the essence that the makers tried to portray in this beautiful movie !!
Chugyeokja (2008)
One of the best movies - ever!
Nail-biting movie at its best. Perhaps one of the finest movies ever made. The movie starts slow but as you start understanding the leads characters - it picks up pace quickly and you wish the movie never ends. You feel the anguish of the ex-cop yelling at someone driving the car on a rainy night with a little kid crying hysterically fearing for the worst - all to the backdrop of some haunting music and no other word spoken! Absolutely genius.
With Kids - No.
Watch again - Yes ! Many many many times - even if dark!!!
Ah-ga-ssi (2016)

Salinui chueok (2003)
Well crafted vintage style thriller
This is an extremely well crafted vintage style thriller - 80s. There are so many clues and so nicely directed and edited, you want to watch it again right away. Makes you think for a few days after you've seen it.
With Kids - No!
Watch again - Perhaps a couple of times. .
Dalkomhan insaeng (2005)
Sophisticated mob thriller
Slick thriller involving right hand of a mob boss and his girlfriend. Byung Hun Lee is stylish. Good watch. Not the best like it seems in the beginning.
PG-15
Bin-jip (2004)

PG15
Tujha Tu Majha Mi (2017)
A cheerful movie
A wonderful movie with a promising lead duo. The plot line may not be the strongest but the storytelling and appeal of its lead casts makes up more for it. With a few characters from 'Chala Haha Yeu Dya',and strong supporting cast, two hours well worth of your time.
With Kids - Yes !
Watch again - Yes ! Many times.
