Movie Alphabet Challenge

Action was pretty entertaining, but I mostly found it boring. The cast is great though.

Just a solid old school romcom.  I really enjoyed it. Has a nice mix of Chinese and Korean cast.

Just one of those touching, heartwarming stories that kind of make you tear up.

Pretty mediocre for a dance movie and has a few dance cliches.  I was not expecting to see Go Ah Ra or DBSK. xD

Pretty interesting plot. Some of it was predictable, but it kept me entertained.

Solid feel good romcom.

This was surprisingly very hilarious for a romcom. I enjoyed. My only suggestion is to watch this blind so that you don't have an expectations when it comes to the cast.

Matsuda Shota looks soo different from his other roles. This movie had no plot, which pissed me off since I'm a plot oriented watcher. Also, there's a senseless amount of violence, nudity, and sex.  The only amusing scene I liked is when ML started beating up those punks with a helmet.

A simple and cute marriage of convenience story.  FL is supposed to be from China, but idk why she's acting like she's from North Korea. 

Pretty mediocre, BUT it's got a twist to the island kidnapping trope that I highly appreciated. It can be considered a parody lakorn.

Kind of reminded me of a tokusatsu film without the monsters and superheros. The plot is kind of lame, but I enjoyed the karate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another movie I really loved because I finally got to see Thai Muslim representation. I only ever get to see hijabis as random extras in lakorns (in which they only talk about Thai Buddhist values). There were quite a few stories going on with the plot, which I'm not sure I was fully paying attention to because I was so happy to see people coexisting. The main subplot was great and then there was a love triangle subplot that I didn't care much for, but this story ties in pretty well at the end when they talk about sportsmanship. I think this movie did a good job representing Muslims in a non negative stereotypical way. Though the FL's dad did seem like one of them strict types. xD I also learned some cool things. Dikr Hulu kind of reminds me of Qawwali from south Asia (both kind of link to sufism).

One thing to note is that this movie was sponsored by the Thai military. Pattani is one of the southern regions that is in conflict due to social/ethnic disputes (look up South Thailand Insurgency). However, I didn't see any propaganda. The movie promotes coexistence. The only thing is they didn't mention why the region is in conflict, just that it is "dangerous". There are bombings in this movie which kind of seemed random and I had to do some research.

This was just a really dumb movie and FL was a little delusional about what it's like to get an MBA and run a business and what it's like being in America.

Just an old man hanging out with his cat and doing his daily retired life routine.  The island is full of cats and the cats are taken care of by everyone on the island.

Just a lot of violence showing the south korean schooling system back in the day. I didn't care much for the plot, but I did have fun identifying all the veteran actors in the cast, who look so much more different back then in their youth.

I wasn't expecting much, but this ended up being a pretty awesome production. The story pulled me in and the set and costumes were fantastic. I might have to check out this director's other works.

This has Bad and Crazy energy. Super unrealistic and ridiculous, but a wild and fun ride. A solid 7.5 cuz of the stunt doubles.

I'm not a big military epic fan, but who doesn't love a good strategist story?

I wasn't too keen on the story, but the martial arts is great and always happy to see Jackie Chan make a guest appearance.

Forget Won Bin, baby Kim Sae Ron stole my heart! I can't believe it's been 10+ years since this was released. Doesn't feel dated at all. No wonder it's a classic. Also, I'd say this has a high rewatch value.

It's a simple shoujo jromance, but the music does not disappoint.

The story is not exactly my cup of tea, but I really like how the way it was directed.  The story can be interpreted either way: it was all in her head or it actually happened.  I mainly liked the beginning of the story, but kind of lost my interest later on.

What an interesting story. I know some of it was exaggerated, but now I'm curious about the actual events that happened.

Main character was so cute. I couldn't help but fall for her. My heart broke for her, but I'm glad she got a happy ending.

Not sure how or why this ended up in my PTW list 5 years ago cuz it's like one of those obscure artsy titles. It has a "low" rating here and on IMDB. It's a simple story, but it managed to keep my attention. Plus, there's a whole cultural arts aspect of this film that I enjoyed.

Depressing and dark. Not my cup of tea.

Although the plot is fictional, if you're curious about why people are STILL sensitive about the 1980s protests, this is a good movie to watch. I could probably even give this an 8. I thought the ending was a bit messy, but I can see why they ended it the way they did.
