Cast : Jeong Jae-Young, Son Byung-Ho, Lee Young-Eun

Director : Ra Hee-Chan

My rating : Laugh Out Loud

If you’re currently in need of good laugh, or looking for some smart comedy to fill your boring weekend, or if you are just a 23 year old worn-out worker with no boyfriend, no parties on weekend, no energy left to move your ass downtown on saturday night (to make it simple : no life), you might wanna watch this movie. This sure will crack you up.

It’s about a traffic police Jung Do Man (Jeong Jae Young) who was chosen to act as the robber in a bank-robbery drill. Being a dedicated officer (or perhaps a talented actor) as he was, he pulled his best as a robber, and put the police force’s dignity at stake. The supposed to be ‘fun’ drill, turned out to be a whole-day drama with 8 dead victims (meaning 8 people with ‘dead’ tags on their chests)…and one raped (yeah, just the tag too).

You can feel Jang Jin’s signature in the whole movie as he was one of the scriptwriters. The witty dialogue, weird situations that led  to your bursting laughters, and even Jeong Jae Young.  

( Just like Pavlov’s conditional reflexes, i’ve learned to associate Jeong Jae Young to Jang Jin, as you can find him in most of Jang Jin’s works. Check Someone Special, The Big Scene, Guns and Talks, or even the migrating birds in My Son, where Jeong Jae Young dubbed the clueless father-bird) . (And yes, i’m a big fan of Jang Jin, and Jeong Jae Young.   Maybe one day you can see me next to the red carpet of a movie premiere, screaming like DBSK fangirls, “Jang Jin Oppa!! I wanna have your baby!!”…just that i might be the only one who scream cos,well…unlike DBSK, Jang Jin is not “The Most Handsome Man in Asia”, and he doesn’t dance nor sing nor whatever boybands do,   so perhaps not so many girls would be willing to join me fangirling a movie director…)

Anyway.

Jung Do Man was not the only character worth-notice in this movie. The negotiator with his terrible voice problem somehow had liven up the scene, especially when he paired up with Jung Do Man’s mum, who instead of asking her son to surrender~as the negotiator wished, she asked for Do Man’s seal-stamp cos she needed it to lease her house.

Do Man’s co-officers also drew laughters since the beginning. Check what this officer had to say when the chief ( the one with glasses) asked about his plan to solve the string of bank robberies happened in their city.

and a little romance won’t hurt nobody.

well maybe except for this two.

By the end of the movie (a very dramatic ending for just a training, by the way), you’d realize that you just laughed at the irony of how the cops couldn’t even take down a solo robber in their own drill.     

So see, who needs a nagging boyfriend on a saturday night when you have good movies to watch?

Enjoy,

Louise                                                                                                                                                     (A freakin  23 year old worn-out employee, a single who chooses to be a couch potato at the end of an exhausting week)

p.s : for those who are recently busy looking for the flaws in SYP posts, yes, i do know it’s not a new movie. it’s from 2007. That’s what the number on the title for. 2007. that’s for the release year. not for the number of  the cells you have in your tiny brains.

To all those people a.k.a boa fans said that she really did cut her hair…..well people here is proof that your sweet, innocent, angel Boa lied to you, KIDDIES. Boa showed up on MUSIC STATION May 9 sporting long, brownish orange, weavy and also dry looking locks….

Of course I knew she didn’t cut hair into what I like to call a “Dust Mop” do. But NOOOO people keep saying “Look at the Hite Beer CF video. She really did cut her hair”, which wasn’t much proof because they really didn’t show her getting hair cut. Also I knew that she wouldn’t have the balls to do something without the permission of her owner (Oops I mean her….OH WHATEVER! 8P). LSM wouldn’t let his money maker use her own brain (especially when she turns to alcohol in times of stress) because he knew that if he did she would surely ruin her medicore career.

BoA - Kissing You [Live]

Also to Boa……WHERE IS THE BROKEN LEG? Your leg sure do look ok to me, to even stand on too, or is that just another lie? Are you trying to get simpathy from people in hopes that they will go to your concerts? Psst…because we all know that your ticket sells are low.

Or maybe you’re trying to make up excuses why you will not be debuting anytime soon in the US? Check out that news here.

It is so sad to see stars lie for publicity.

Rain is back in Berlin training for new Hollywood movie, Ninja Assassin. Hmm…maybe he needs to take his ninja skills and have another competition with Stephen Colbert. Rain’s dance off with Colbert on The Colbert Report on Monday (5th) wasn’t anything special. Rain only appeared after the show for the dance off that led to a DDR machine blowing up and Rain winning the dance off! Even though it was very fun to watch, it didn’t impress me much, as Rain barely spoke english and showed up looking like Michael Jackson with that long hair of his!

Click here to see the dance off

Speed Racer came out today…did anyone go watch it?! I read some of the messages left on the IMDB (Internet Movie Database) Speed Racer message board and there were lots of good comments and some bad ones. Even though the movie is a family movie and for kids, I guess it’s worth a try watching it ^^ I’ll consider watching it…but I don’t want to waste $10 watching a movie that’s not worth the money.

Se7en will be having his 3rd album preview party on the 23rd. This time, it’s in San Francisco, one of the unannounced stops. Info on the Houston, Chicago and Toronto, Canada stops still haven’t been released yet so whether Se7en will be going to those cities is unconfirmed yet…but I hope the info will be out soon!

When: Friday, May 23rd @ 10PM-4AM
Where: 1015 (1015 Folsom St., San Francisco)
Cost: prices are going so get your tickets fast!!

To order tickets, please visit http://synergystore.stores.yahoo.net/index.html or here

Se7en’s Myspace has been updated, but not much has been done to it. I just wished it was actually Se7en using the account and hopefully his PRs will update the page and make it look more like an official Myspace.

Oh, and also, there will be pictures posted up from the preview parties soon!

While back in Korea, a bunch of celebrities are participating in a 24 hour marathon to help raise
money for kids who are less fortunate. The marathon started yesterday (9th, Korea time)
and will go on until 6:40PM Korea Time today (10th).

SuJu boys Eeteuk, Kangin, Shindong, Yesung, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk participated in the actual run
with their fans and Korean citizens for the full 24 hours around Seoul. See how their fans can scary one moment and angels the next? haha! Yesung injured his leg during the marathon and it seems that Eeteuk has too, as I saw him limping ealier.

Click here for more info about the marathon

Speaking of SuJu…they’ll be coming back with a new image on June 7th, the day of the Dream Concert! SuJu, DBSK and a whole bunch of Korea’s most popular stars will be performing at the concert! DBSK will be making a comeback this summer at the Super Triple Concert on June 15th. The Super Triple Concert will consist of DBSK, SuJu and SNSD but the main performers is DBSK as they’re making a comeback! More info on the Super Triple Concert will be released soon!
Click here for more info on the Dream Concert

woot! Three great concerts to look forward to soon! Just a reminder, Hollywood Bowl is on Saturday, the 17th @ 6:30PM! There are still tickets available @ http://www.koreanmusicfestival.com!! So if you still want to go, get your tickets soon!! This year’s concert will be aired by SBS instead of MBC.

Anyone remember the Peace Concert?! Well, it is now unknown if the Peace Concert is still going on because more information was supposed to be released last week but when contacted, they kept saying things along the lines “call back next week” for ticket and hotel refunds because of the postponement. For those who don’t know, the concert was postponed to June 28th and an updated list of artists were to be released and that never happened. People are now filing a lawsuit against the Revolution Entertainment, the promoters of the concert, who also happened to be the promoters of Rain’s US concerts! If you’ve bought a ticket to the concert, you can help try to get your money back. Contact me (Michelle) in the forum for more info ^^

Now, I bet no one ever thought of that one coming!
After that damn SAMSUNG Anycall Haptic CF there has been a constant war between TVXQ (DBSK) and Girls Generation’s(SNSD) fans … and it was not only between the Korean fans .. our dear soompi place was no exception .. as for the total of 3 days both DBSK and SNSD threads were closed and suspended due to the amount of bashing!
DBSK thread was closed due to the amount of unmanageable bashing to SNSD
… and in SNSD thread was closed due to the amount of bashing SNSD fans did to Tiffany!
YEP! .. majority of SNSD fans now do agree Tiffany’s actions seems to be very made by herself in a desperate need for creating more attraction to herself! Now, were we the first person called her ATTNETION WHORE? *patting myself in the back* I am no SNSD fan! … but I never detested them this much either! .. Either way .. I have a place to rant about what I feel about them truly .. I am here only to report on the event!

Okay, back to the main point …

The latest news are having it that after what it seems like an endless war between TVXQ’s fans and Girls’ Generations’ fans .. now the majority of the SNSD’s fans (which are mostly male!)

… are complaining that the members of the boyband DBSK .. had in fact been very “impolite” to the girls … They are going even further and have called DBSK’s actions toward the SNSD members in the CF[sexual harassment]!
OHHHOOO! So what are they gonna do now?
SUE THEM?

Now .. i don’t exactly know what cave they were born at …
But in the world that legislative laws are written …

… We ain’t be calling this GIRL ‘SEXUALLY HARASSED’ TO SAY THE LEAST!

or maybe in your book ..

these bunch are screaming for help from fear of being sexually molested eh?

You want me to show you what we call SEEXUAL HARRESMENT?
Yeah .. let me show you!

Oh man .. you need a GOOD DAMN LAWYER WITH YOUR CASE!
Why not play the ‘KISSING YOU’ song on your MP3 player 24-7
While licking on your Lollipops and making FAN ARTS LIKE THIS ONE …

.. start getting serious on your school work?
Maybe the song helps you dream more of peaking bellow those SNSD’s short skirts ..
and turns up motivating you enough to study hard to get into a LAW SCHOOL or something? Oh you are asking why? Oh cuz that’s the only way you can change the current laws! *sicking out the tongue*

EDIT:
HAPTIC Battle - DBSK & SNSD Anycall HAPTIC CF - NEW!

ALL THE THREE VERSION OF THE CF ARE OUT!
WE HAVE THEM ALL WITH TRANSLATION IN THE FORUM
CHECK THEM OUT!
