Story of a Prostitute – Review
It's certainly Suzuki's most tragically realistic character studies and arguably his greatest and most mature film.

Sector 7 – Review
'Sector 7', is the first 3-D movie to be released in South Korea. This could've been a legit monster movie. The setting was pretty good; it's an oil mine in the middle of a vast ocean. And also there are some moral issues incorporated into the monster (not spoiling anything). Click to read the full review...
Creative Spotlight: Episode #70 – Rekstizzy
You know what I like? Hip-Hop. Cat's out of the bag.

Heat-Haze Theatre – Review
The films story is about man confronted by one man (a rich business-man) and two women (a Japanese Geisha and a European, who dresses like a Japanese women). Besides the 'narrative' distorted uniqueness, which allows the characters to jump from one location to the next or pop up (even within the same shot), the other interesting aspects of the film are the locations.
