The Naked Kitchen

The Naked Kitchen was not what I expected in the least. I expected more drama/heartbreak from this film based on the film's premise. Alas all I received from this movie was a husband who stayed in denial for the majority of the film and a naive wife who couldn't make a decision between her husband whom was her childhood sweetheart and a stranger she diddled in an art gallery. The ending was an open-ended one and I assume it's meant to be left up to the imagination of the viewer.

I would have preferred it if the husband had killed his wife's lover, chopped him up, and served him in his restaurant. Now that would have been a great ending.

I didn't particularly enjoy this movie. Maybe I will watch it again to see if I missed something.

Synopsis:

"Today is Mo-rae and Sang-in’s one-year wedding anniversary. After a busy morning preparing for the celebration, Mo-rae goes to an art gallery to find a gift for Sang-in. At the gallery, she meets a complete stranger and the two unexpectedly have sex. Mo-rae returns home feeling anxious and guilty about the incident and cannot help but confess it to Sang-in. That night, a visitor arrives at their house; Du-rae, who came from Paris to help Sang-in with his new business. To Mo-rae’s shock, he is the man from the gallery. He temporarily lives with the couple in their house and a risky love triangle begins."

My Boss, My Hero

This past weekend I had the opportunity to watch the Korean movie My Boss, My Hero. This is a comedy that is not meant to be taken seriously. Yet, I feel I went into this movie with the wrong expectations. I expected a drama/action movie but instead watched a hokie film filled with jokes referencing Korean culture that I am not familiar with. All in all I felt it was a good movie and I plan on watching the sequel My Boss, My Teacher.

"As the boss of a small gang, KYE Du-shik had gotten by on his wits and bare knuckles for the past ten years. That was soon to change. Held back from promotion within the ranks due to his lack of education, Du-shik heads back to school on the order of a superior gang leader. His return is not without its complications. Intimidation dealt out by a high school hoodlum, a mischievous female student posing problems with her powerful parents relenting to her every wish, and a school that is out of control are but a few of the hazards that lay in the path of Du-shik’s education. The road is not so smooth for our hero. Although his classmates are infected by his charismatic personality and charm, will they stand by him when he most needs it? Eventually he sets out to avenge the wrongdoings of a corrupt school system. He may succeed, but will he graduate?"
