Yeah none of those movies look good. I can't believe they made another Underworld. Kate Beckinsale is the only thing good about the series.

Underworld 3, that's a trip because I saw that on the internet about two months ago.

I won't ruin it for you but I give it a thumbs up. I didn't see the first two movies so this maybe just a retread. Then again it was one of those movies I wasn't expecting much from so I was pleasantly surprised by the entertainment value.i.e., it was free.

Bloody hell, I thought it couldn't get worse than Harry Bumboy, but all those films look really bad.

Shame on you Korea, I have downloaded at least three of these from the internet in the past months - Bluray versions even! I do miss popcorn though, I hope District 9 arrives soon.

Not that I personally would see the movie on the big screen, but I thought the third was better done than the second. Definitely a renter... but not sure about how much further I would go with that.

"The Proposal" is interesting... but... I was never a fan of Sandra Bullock. And the humor in the movie seemed all used up in other movies. I felt I saw the movie just by watching the previews almost TWO YEARS AGO. A Good movie to bring a date.

The other movies... not sure how and why they made it to Korea.
I am holding my breath for "District 9" which I have no idea when it will come to Korea, seeing that it is not listed in any of the up comings.

Why are all English movies that come to korea suck ? I think Dark Knight was the only good English movie that's come to Korea in the past 2 years.

I can think of a few pixar animations and disney that were ok, but why always crap here ?

Sunshine Cleaning is a pretty good flick. No reason whatsoever to see it on a big screen tho...just download the thing, it's been on the internets for like three months.

Any idea though on whether we'll have English subtitles? There are a number of languages used in the film. I'm going to guess no.

I seriously doubt it will be with English subtitles. So far the only versions on the internet have Russian subtitles. Might have to take a trip to Yongsan a week after it comes out here.
