Ever since I saw this movie in June of 2011, it has been my favorite movie. I had known nothing of this movie when I searched for it other than there was a Bonnie Pink song in it, but I am so glad that I watched it. And watched it again. Other movies may be much better. Other movies may be a little less problematic involving its presentation of its ( Read more... )

Well, last week, we had a heartwarming story about a woman trying to get the apartment of her dreams. This week, WTF ASIA presents The Housemaid, a story of a woman working for a family in a really large house. It may not necessarily warm your heart, but it will warm…something. Apparently, it is sexy or something. The DVD case categorizes it as ( Read more... )

Easter Sunday…or April Fools…anyways…today is a festive day as we celebrate the resurrection of the dead with the great Game of Thrones. But, if you are hoping for some entertainment that is focuses less on beheadings and crucifixions, WTF ASIA comes through with Dream Home, a somewhat difficult, but truly touching story about following your heart ( Read more... )

So, after last week’s anger parade, I suppose that I needed a little bit of catharsis. And what better catharsis than a movie that I enjoyed for the wrong reasons? And I don’t mean “so bad that it’s good” reason; I mean the wrong reasons. This is The Legend of Bhagat Singh, a movie that did not do so well in India…perhaps due to the reasons why I ( Read more... )

Last Friday was the start of a really annoying week for me, which might just extend to two weeks if I am not lucky. But, since this is St. Patrick’s Day, I can be thankful for being lucky enough that things were not worse. After all, I could have been a Japanese American living on the West Coast in 1942. Yes, this week, I watched four movies ( Read more... )

Okay, so if you want the Gangnam Style of Korean movies, you can do worse than Please Teach Me English. This movie is goofy as all heck…at least the first two-thirds of it. Basically, it addresses the rush to learn English in South Korea during the last decade. Of course, it jams in a romantic comedy in there, and just throws in a few other things ( Read more... )

Hey, do you like kids? This is a movie about a kid. Okay, it is about the life of kid in a family trying to get by in a town in the Philippines. His name is the same as the title of the movie: Magifico. Somehow, I was under the impression that Filipinos had trouble pronouncing the letter “F”, but I guess that if that was no impediment to them ( Read more... )

Tonight, millions will supposedly be watching a three-hour event full of Hollywood stars doing whatever ridiculous thing that they do. There may be musical numbers and fancy outfits and lots of filler material and people sitting around. If that appeals to you, but you think that it could use a little more awkward basketball with Bollywood stars ( Read more... )

Valentine’s Day may have passed us by, but that does not mean that we have to stop watching movies about love and relationships, right? Also, I don’t really have any movies about presidents to talk about…at least not yet. Aaaanyways…this week on WTF ASIA, I present I Like It Hot…or Hellcats. It’s not about cheerleaders. This movie concerns three ( Read more... )

Well, today is the start of the Lunar New Year. And what better way to celebrate the new year than to be with your family as you watch a really gleefully stupid movie? This is All’s Well, Ends Well and it is the first and, hopefully last, Lunar New Year movie that I will be talking about on WTF ASIA. It is also a romantic comedy, so if you are ( Read more... )
