A Man Who Was Superman

I was looking for something to watch and I came across this 2008 South Korean film. Since superman was in the title I knew I had to watch it. I was expecting a goofy superhero film but I got so much more.

Song Soo-Jung, played by Jun Ji-Hyun, is a bitter anti-social filmmaker who unhappily works for a small company producing human interest stories. She doesn’t really care about these people or their situations, but she does it in hopes of becoming Korea’s Oprah Winfrey.On the day she left her company to go to Africa to film lions, her camera bag is stolen. She chases the thief and is eventually helped by a guy who thinks he is Superman. He claims to have lost his super powers because someone stuck a piece of kryptonite in his brain but he refuses to let that stop him from helping people who need it the most.

“Darling…I don’t know how to tell you this but, there’s a Chinese family in our restroom.”

I finally caught ’500 Days of Summer’ on DVD after much urging from my friends. When I originally saw the trailer to this film, I had to real desire to watch it because I put it into the ‘just another romantic comedy’ category. I was wrong. Dead Wrong.

Paramount has pushed Kenneth Branagh directed ‘Thor’s release date up two week from May 20, 2011 to May 6, 2011, the weekend Spider-Man 4 was supposed to come out. This jump is due to Sony admitting Spider-Man 4′s release date might have to be pushed back due to issue’s with the script, although there are rumors floating around that there’s more to it than that.

It’s not official that Spider-Man 4 will be pushed back and by some miracle it could actually make it’s release date seeing as how Sony hasn’t officially let May 6th go yet and if that happens then we’ll have two comic book films butting heads the same weekend. ‘Thor’s’ old release date was immediately taken by Disney for their new ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film.

‘Thor’ stars Natalie Portman, Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, and Samuel L. Jackson.

I stumbled upon this gem on Netflix and felt I had to share. Directed by Francisco Jose Lombardi, ‘Tinta Roja’, a peruvian film that came out in 2000, is a gritty look at the world of journalism. Based on Alberto Fuguet’s novel, this film follows Alfonso, a young writer whose dream is to write novels, as he adjusts to his first internship working for a tabloid in the police/crime section. His boss Faundez, a cynical journalist whose motto is “Journalism, like prostitution, is learned on the streets”, clashes with Alfonso’s traditional writing and challenges his morals all in the name of good journalism. Tagging along with Faundez, his silent photographer, and driver who like to speak in proverbs and philosophical quotes, Alfonso learns that writing about crimes isn’t what he expected.
