By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3 cats
Director: Cheol-hie Park
Starring: Ha-kyun Shin | Ji-hye Yun | Min-jun Kim

Masquerades (2009)

Bruce says: “MASQUERADES is one of those films that take me by surprise and win me over easily. The story is a small one and perhaps not that original. Three old men sit in the village square when a group

Rating: 4.5 cats
Director: Kôki Mitani
Starring: Eri Fukatsu | Haruka Ayase | Kôichi Satô | Satoshi Tsumabuki | Toshiyuki Nishida

Jason says: “Let’s face it: The whole deal with gangs and movies intersecting in such a way as to cause hilarious, self-referential misunderstanding is pretty darn played out. I groaned a little just reading the description for THE MAGIC HOUR,
