funny neighborsOctober is already coming to a close and the last full week of the month brings us three movies being released onto DVD.  However, only one of the three will have English subtitles. The dvd pictured left is Funny Neighbors directed by Yang Yeong-cheol and starring Park Won-sang and Jeon Mi-seon.  Number of discs: 1/ Subtitles: Korean and English/ Rating: Ages 12+/ Format: 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen/ Audio: Dolby digital 5.1/ Running time: 97 minutes/ Suggested retail price: 22,000 KRW/ Available: October 26th/ Chance I will purchase this: 50%– I don’t buy many comedies and I will hold off buying it right away, but I there is a chance I will purchase this at a later date.

Pictured center is The Grass Is Greener directed by Seong Ji-hye and starring Kim Yeong-ho and Hwang In-yeong. Number of discs: 1/ Subtitles: Korean/ Rating: ages 15+/ Format: 16:9 anamorphic widescreen/ Audio: Dolby digital 2.0/ Running time: 91 minutes/ Suggested Retail Price: 22,000 KRW/ Available: October 26th/ Chance I will purchase this: 75%–

Finally, we have Ghastly which I saw on television and expressed my opinion about earlier. It is directed by Ko Seok-jin and stars Han Eun-jeong and Lee Hyeong-seok.  Number of discs: 1/ Subtitles: Korean/ Rating: ages 18+/ Format: 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen/ Audio: Dolby digital 5.1/ Running time: 78 min/ Suggested Retail price: 22,000 KRW/ Available: October 27th/ Chance I will buy this: 10%– I hated this movie. It is one of the worst I have seen in a long time.  BUT I expect that in about two months, I will be able to find it for a quarter of its current cost–I can’t resist sales and will pick it up..
