Lim Sang-choon's WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TANGERINES, with IU and Park Bo-gum, bridges the K-drama gap between bright romcoms and pricey genre tentpoles. This is a true prestige drama, rich, evocative, heartfelt and intrinsically Korean. https://t.co/5wDPGTx6VI

Got to see Bong Joon Ho’s MICKEY 17 yesterday and had many thoughts, only some of which made it into this unusually long review. https://t.co/jJVAAme67r

The games have begun. My review for Hwang Dong-hyuk's SQUID GAME 2. #오징어게임2 2. https://t.co/YUumYqCXBu

The year that was and what a year it was. My Top 15 K-dramas of 2024. Let's just say that there was a very late change at the top. https://t.co/WsxJWzFwA5

Did not have failed live reenactment of 12:12: THE DAY on my 2024 bingo card. Scary, bewildering, embarrassing… Hard to believe we just went through Korea’s first declaration of martial law in 44 years. Many will wake up in a few hours having slept right through it. https://t.co/JMejwjxX04

As a +20 year uberfan, I'm crushed that Bong Joon-ho's MICKEY 17 is being pushed back again to April, but also very glad that WB is showing more confidence with a far better release date. Might this now premiere at Berlin or SXSW?

Warner Bros. has shifted the Robert Pattinson-led sci-fi film “Mickey 17” to April 18, 2025, three months after the previous release date of Jan. 31, 2025. The new date allows the film from Bong Joon Ho to screen in IMAX. https://t.co/kXCPl0ueNF

No costumes for me this Halloween but I did get to produce a blu-ray feature for a bonafide horror classic. Was fortunate to sit down with Bong Joon-ho to chat about Kiyoshi's Kurosawa's J-horror classic CURE. This will be featured on Masters of Cinema's upcoming 4K reissue.

Korean screen dystopias get a shot in the arm thanks to Yeon Sang-ho's HELLBOUND 2, a dark and lively parable about idolatry and systems of control. https://t.co/ROmeVU7ioH

The Hemingway-inspired anthology THE KILLERS breathes cinema. A great pleasure to see Lee Myung-se back in cinemas, an even bigger joy to see something he directed (even if it's only a quarter of this) on the big screen for the first time. #더킬러스 https://t.co/jn6hnt23cY

My review for the rugged coastal drama-thriller THE LAND OF MORNING CALM from this year’s New Currents competition at #BIFF2024 https://t.co/KHNyUaKeRu

Park Song-yeol steps up to the plate with his delightful and wryly amusing sophomore feature KIKE WILL HIT A HOME RUN, one of the Korean indie discoveries at #BIFF2024 this year. https://t.co/cGilMPfty6

The only reason I can’t proclaim WAY BACK LOVE as the best K-drama of the year is because it will air in 2025. Lucky for me, I caught the premiere at #BIFF2024. Kim Min-ha and Gong Myung are phenomenal and irresistibly cute in this romcom for the ages. https://t.co/piNx2tgeX2

DONGJAE, THE GOOD OR THE BASTARD, the spinoff series of Kdrama hit STRANGER, has premiered at #BIFF2024. Lee Joon-hyuk mixes thrills and laughs as he dives into his prosecutor protagonist’s moral dilemma. https://t.co/N8oX3zJWmq
