We have seen many movies where it's a showdown of humans VS aliens. In Pacific Rim, we see a war that might put humanity to an end. It’s up to the remaining beings to save humankind. It’s an apocalypse movie that you wouldn’t mind watching, hoping for a good, happy ending at the end.
Synopsis
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.
"On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes – a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) – who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
Multi-talented singer-director Jay Chou not only directed, he produced and acted in The Rooftop. Though different from ‘Secret’, he manages to add his music elements in the film, somewhat like a musical film - think Hairspray mix Chicago.
Synopsis
The Rooftop, marking Jay Chou’s second film behind the camera, following Secret (2007), is a musical extravaganza combining elements of martial arts and special effects. It stars Chou alongside Eric Tsang, Wang Xueqi and Alan Ko in a story set in a fantasy world comprised of two distinctly contrasting communities and lifestyles. One group lives on rooftops, where they dance and sing every day, passing their days without a care in the world, while below them are the people living under the rooftops, who possess more money and power.
Three of Korean’s heartthrobs starred in this blockbuster film as North Korean top-class spies, posted into South Korea to await their mission. When you have three rising Korean stars as the main ensemble cast, you know you’ll be getting quite a number of female fans who are dying to watch this.
Apart from the visual cookie-points, Secretly Greatly has done significantly well at the box office in Korea and Singapore viewers will be one of the first to catch it!
Synopsis
As a North Korean top-class agent, Ryu-hwan infiltrates into the South and assumes the role of a village idiot in a rural town. He observes the townsfolk and waits patiently for his mission.
One day, after 2 years of playing the role of the village idiot, fellow elite spies Hae-rang, posed as a rock star and Hae-jin, posed as an ordinary high school student, are dispatched to the same town as Ryu-hwan. He helps the other two spies settle in and teach them how to adjust in the South. They get used to the life in the South alongside the village people, still waiting for the grand mission.
The three spies finally receive the mission, but it’s nothing that they’ve been waiting for. Can they accomplish the mission and go back home as legend?
From the director of 200 pounds Beauty comes an interesting and touching blockbuster about a gorilla who was scouted in the Korean Baseball League and became an international hit. One of the most anticipated movie in Korea, even the theme song will be sung by Girls’ Generation leader, Kim Taeyeon who is also known as the ‘OST queen’.
Synopsis
Young circus ringmaster Wei Wei has only bat-swinging gorilla Ling Ling to depend on as her only family member and friend when her grandfather dies in the Great Sichuan Earthquake, leaving behind an insurmountable debt. When a loan shark threatens to sell Ling Ling and the circus kids to cover the debt, Wei Wei has no choice but to allow Ling Ling to be scouted in the Korean Baseball League by the materialistic sports agent Sung.
Ling Ling, now dubbed 'Mr. Go', becomes an instant hit with fans and leads his team Doosan to a miraculous winning streak. No pitcher can stand up to Mr. Go's powerful single-handed swing, and they watch helplessly as the ball flies out of the park. His popularity grows so immensely that even the fans of his opposing teams cheer for him, and single handedly attracts worldwide media attention to the league. Wei Wei and Sung are stunned and blinded by the sudden success, and neglect to detect Ling Ling's worsening knee injury, just as Japanese clubs are drafting ground breaking trade propositions...
