6th December 2009

Two new films opened to displace 2012 from the number one spot that it has held for the past three weeks. New Moon and Secret took the first and second ranked positions respectively.  KOFIC has now given an official English name to the films I had previously called The Hong Family Business  and Walking the White Night based on articles printed in the Korean Times.  They will now be known as The Descendents of Hong Gil-Dong and White Night.

Next week, an astounding 14 new films will open.  The majority of these are small, indie films that may not play in smaller cities and most of these had already opened in film festivals.
