| "Give me!" Poster for Invasion of Alien Bikini |
I've only seen clips so far, but if I were to write a review of the recently released Korean comedy-sci-fi movie Invasion of Alien Bikini, the focus of the review would most likely be on star Ha Eun-jung, the stills I would include would all be of star Ha Eun-jung, and the main reason I would give for seeing the movie would probably be because Ha Eun-jung stars in it. Therefore, this entry should just be on Ha Eun-jung and not her new movie.
Even though she does provide the film with great eye candy, the 31 year-old actress has shown she's more than just a voluptuous figure. Since this movie has only been released in Korea so far, it will be a while before it's available on DVD for all to view, but the reviews I've read of the overall film as well as Eun-jung's performance, have been surprisingly good. Both have overshadowed another concurrently-released Korean film with a bigger budget and higher profile female star, that have gotten much poorer marks from critics.
Although I labeled this under "B-Movies," Korea doesn't really doesn't have a B-movie industry as we do in the US. With the exception of adult ("ero") movies, pretty much all Korean films are theatrical releases. However, since Eun-jung previously starred in the 2009 comedy-horror flick The Neighbor Zombie, she could be on her way to being considered a sort of Korean equivalent to American B-movie Scream Queens such as Linnea Quigley and Monique Gabrielle.

Any idea when this will be out on DVD in Canada or the US?
ReplyDelete@L.J. - As far as I know, not yet but it shouldn't be long. It's currently available on DVD in Korea, but only encoded for region 3.
