Its funny not to many fans of Korean Films or am i wrong ?.
I would never have got into Korean Dramas without Korean Films , Years back i posted a lot on K Film but stopped because of lack of interest ,now its easier to see them than it ever was ,Netflix has a whole bunch and more are being released domestically .
Yes do want to see Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter i liked the directors prior vampire films Daywatch and Nightwatch .
Do not want to see Dark Shadows ...travesty of the original . Do not want to see Tarantino's Django Unchained ..insult to Spaghetti Westerns . Have not seen Avengers can wait until it hits DVD ,Yet to see a superhero film that impressed me . Though with Andy Lau and Gong Li added to the cast may give Iron Man 3 a shot .

Choi Min Shik of Old Boy has been casted as Yi Soon Shin in the upcoming movie Myongryang!
The movie Myongrayng will cover the Battle of Myongryang where YSS fought with only 13 ships against over 130 Japanese ships.

The Raven [2012]
I finally got around to watching The Raven. The movie isn't so much about Poe but more about a murderer that brings his work to life.
Project X [2012]
Teen party gets out of control. It's like Can't Hardly Wait but not as good.

Dark Knight Rises [2012]
Liked it. Good end to the trilogy.
Still need to see Brave, Prometheus and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

The Dark Knight Rises was awesome, though to be honest it didn't blow me away the same way the previous movie did, but that's probably expecting too much.

Just make sure you avoid Donnie Yens "Lost Bladesman ". Is that the one where he plays Guan Yu? Was it that bad?

Yes and sadly its pretty awful ..aside from deviating from the storyline the editing is horrendous .

The Raid Redemption Film of the year ..this is how to make an action film ...just pass on all that Hollywood stuff and watch this ..it is a masterpiece .
Bathory Countess Of Blood Forget all that stuff about bathing in the blood of virgins no proof of that anyway ,instead you get a solid historical drama with great camera work ,costumes ,music ....about a wealthy rich widow bought down by greedy family members .
Hara Kiri Death Of A Samurai Not big on remakes but this one sticks to the original book and is as good as the original .
22 Bullets I had given up on Luc Besson but this is a decent tale of gang warfare in Marseilles ,good film but not enough to make me think Besson has turned a corner .
The Hunger Games "yawn"
Let The Bullets Fly And the script fall apart ..descends into pointless slapstick .
The Front Line The last battle of the Korean war ...epic
The Countess Another take on the Bathory saga but dull ..
Flying Swords Of Dragon Gate Tsui Hark and Jet Li reunited ..good but not as good as the 93 version . The Horde Wow a decent zombie film
13 Actually better than the original french film 13 Tazemati
Motorway Hong Kongs answer to Drive only much better .

Detective Cha (aka Runway Cop) (2012)
Korean comedy starring Kang Ji Hwan and Sung Yuri. It's about a cop who has to go undercover as a runway model. Some funny moments but could have been better.
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)
A different take on Snow White and the seven dwarfs. It's actually a decent film until the last 30 mins or so. Then we get an awful speech and Kristen Stewart in armor, which ruined it for me.
Prometheus (2012)
A team of scientists travel into space to explore the origins of mankind. There's aliens and a lot of people die.
