Two Major English movies hitting the theaters this week:

Ice Age 3 - Dawn of the Dinosaurs (아이스 에이지 3 : 공룡시대)
�After the events of "Ice Age: The Meltdown", life begins to change for Manny and his friends: Scrat is still on the hunt to hold onto his beloved acorn, while finding a possible romance in a female sabre-toothed squirrel named Scratte� IMDB
I watched the movie a few weeks ago; I would much rather see the first two movies, but not too bad.
Side not: be careful, some theaters may have this animation dubbed in Korea. Ensure you check the movie listings and call the cinema to make sure.

Public Enemies (퍼블릭 에너미)
�The Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s.� IMDB

Saw the movie in the states.... It wasn't what I expected it to be. To me it dragged A LOT. Johnny Depp is a great actor though. Didn't really feel Christian Bale's actor. But yeah, this is just my opinion. O yeah, it was really long too

I saw "Public Enemies" last night, and although I liked a lot of the action, I was really, really put off by the scenes that were shot in HD instead of on film. Given that the story is supposed to be set during the Great Depression, I was instantly taken out of the film by some blatantly digital-looking shots. I know Michael Mann digs his HD, but it was a little ridiculous.

And I agree with the previous poster. 2 hours and 40 minutes was looooong.

Public Enemies was a well-made borefest. At the 1 hour mark I felt like I had been in the theater for a full 2 hours. Many of my favorite movies are long, but this thing didn't earn its running time and had me trying in vain to fall asleep during it

Thanks for the warning. I guess I will be renting this one. Not fun falling asleep in a movie theater, especially since I snore. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans starts begins in 2 weeks (in Korea). I think that will be a more theater going activity. It's sad however, the movie came out in January in North America.
