Bangkok Girl : A Documentary about Thailand's Night Life (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This short documentary tries to be a grand expose of the Bangkok Sex Trade, but the filmmaker doesn't have nearly the expertise or gravitas to pull this off. Where the movie really succeeds is in the personal charisma of its 'leading lady' Pla. She exudes real charisma and absolutely lights up the screen. She deserves a much better movie.
However, if you understand what this is, "An Ultra-Low Budget Indie Documentary" you'll enjoy it. Worth trying out.

Jordan Clark's tragic documentary provides a glimpse into Thailand'snotorious and booming sex tourism industry through the experiences of a19-year-old bar girl named Pla. Working in the bars from the age ofthirteen, Pla has managed to avoid selling her body--a remarkablerevelation given her surroundings--but her refusal to take part in thisall-too-common profession for young Thai women cannot last. Theintroduction of falangs, or foreigners, to Thailand has forever changed thecity, the economy, the Thai people's lives and desires. A daring andunabashed look at a popular Western predilection through the eyes of onegirl, this film challenges the accepted worldwide practice of sex tourism.

Time Between Dog and Wolf (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm surprised this show doesn't have more reviews. It is by far one of my favorites. Not just a favorite of Korean shows, but any TV show I've ever watched. The story was excellent and well developed. I never felt like the story was lagging or things were being drawn out too much. It isn't like most of the Korean shows out there. This show does have romance, but it isn't the main focus of the story. Rather the main focus is on a man seeking revenge for his mother's murder.
I bought this show on a whim at my local Borders. After reading the description I thought it sounded like it would be good. If not, I figured I could sit through for nothing else than to watch Lee Jun Ki. I ended up finishing the entire show over one weekend because I simply couldn't stop watching it. When one episode ended I kept going because I wanted so badly to know what would happen next.
One of the nice things about this show is that it isn't as predictable as a lot of shows. Several things happened that I didn't expect.
I highly recommend this show. There's lots of action as well as some romance thrown in.

It's known as the Time Between Dog & Wolf - the time when daylight slowly turns to nightfall, vision and reality blur, and the line between friend and foe becomes unclear. Lee Jun Ki (My Girl, The King and the Clown) delivers a tour de force performance in this espionage thriller that takes viewers from the gritty alleys of the Thai underworld to the glittering halls of Korea s National Intelligence Service (NIS). As a child, NIS officer Lee Soo-hyun witnessed his mother's brutal murder. Years later, his chance for revenge has finally come. But first he must give up his identity, his family, and the woman (Nam Sang Mi, The Grand Chef, Sweet Spy) he loves to go deep undercover in an Asian narcotics ring. In a complex world of revenge, deceit and blurred loyalties, Lee must learn to distinguish between friends - and wolves.
