PROBLEM: Two cute girls and a plan gone awry . I justed watched SAMARITAN GIRL tonight. This Korean film, directed by Kim Ki-Duk, features Ji-Min Kwak as Yeo-jin, a high school girl who runs a small prostitution business with her friend Jae-young (played by the cute as a button Yeo-reum Han, acting here under the name Min-jeong Seo, according to Imdb.) These two girls are best friends and seem to do everything together. To raise money so they can fly to Europe, Jae-young comes up with the prostitution idea. She sleeps with the clients and actually enjoys it, while Yeo-jin makes the arrangements and keeps the money. Things go bad one day when two cops follow Jae-young up to her liaison in a motel, and attempting to escape, jumps from the window to her death. Yeo-jin is distraught at the loss of her best friend and beset with guilt over having the money entrusted to her. To alleviate her conscience, she arranges liaisons with Jae-young's clients to give back the money. However, when her father, a cop on the vice squad, discovers what she's up to, things take a dark turn for both himself and his daughter's customers. This film seemed like several in one. It starts off as a story about the friendship of two school girls, turns into a tale of about guilt and redemption, and then turns into a story about revenge and a lack of communication. I'd like to have seen more of the friendship (with more screen time for Yeo-reum Han), and some things seem rather far-fetched, but it's a thought provoking film and I liked it overall. The film is presented on DVD by Tartan Video and has one very serious flaw that I've never seen before on disc: for the last ten or fifteen minutes, there's a quite visible bar running vertically through the picture about a third of the way in from the left. It's as though I was watching a broadcast with a weak signal. I couldn't believe I was seeing such a thing. Did anybody at Tartan look at this transfer before committing it to disc? I'm thinking of writing them to say that, after seeing this, I must seriously question getting any more of their titles. Otherwise, the film is presented at 1.78:1, widescreen enhanced. The picture is okay but not great - kind of on the dark side, and certainly not among the sharpest that I've seen. It is watchable, though. I listened to the DTS soundtrack, but it sounded like a regular stereo soundtrack with no special audio effects. An interesting film, and I'd like to see more by this director, but the transfer problem at the end is unforgiveable. Ratings: Film - 4 stars; DVD transfer - 2 stars

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: Coen Brothers do it again . it never ceases to amaze me how the Coen brothers make me love movies from genres that i don't usually like. take this film for instance, its been out for six years, when it came out i said it looks dumb, i don't like stories about hillbillies, but thats not what it is at all, its actually a great film with all kinds of twists and turns. in a word it can be described as delightful, with the most fun part of o'brother being that it keeps you guessing throughout, just when you think one thing is going to happen, bam, supprise, something else. i really enjoyed the music too, i can't get that damn soggy bottom boys song outta my head, and i doubt you'll be able to either. my only regret is that i was to ignorant to watch it sooner, i hope you really enjoy this film as much as i did.

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: European Arthouse Movie Par Excellence . "Intimacy" is sexually explicit and raw, as one would almost expect from a European "art-house" movie. The sex scenes aren't really the focal point of the movie -- it merely establishes the setting for our protagonists, Jay and Claire. The story becomes quite intriguing as Jay decides that he wants more than just anonymous weekly romp with Claire. Acting by Timothy Spall is excellent as usual. He is awesome in serious roles

SOLUTION:
POS
