If you know anything about K-dramas, you've seen Crash Landing on You. The 2019 show, which focuses on a love story between a South Korean heiress and a North Korean officer, broke all ratings records and became the highest-rated Tvn series based on the national index.
It has remained at the top of the charts for years, but has now succumbed to the latest K-drama with a premise that is much more relatable to many people. After the finale of Queen of Tears, no one doubted that this drama would go down in the history of the industry with so much praise and recognition.
Is Queen of Tears Worth Watching?
Premiering in March 2024, Queen of Tears is a KoreanTV series starring Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won as a married couple facing a relationship crisis followed by a rekindling of love. What makes the show's success even more remarkable is the creator behind it.

One Mohanlal Film Serves As A Strong Script For Damini 2 Led By Sunny Deol (Picture Credit: Facebook & IMDb)
Last year, we saw Sunny Deol making a roaring comeback with Gadar 2 and ripping the box office apart with some jaw-dropping numbers. Now, we reimagine him wearing that lawyer’s uniform and bringing back his cult character of advocate Govind Srivastava on the big screen. Yes, you guessed it right! We’re talking about his cult crime drama, Damini. We feel that Damini 2 is highly possible, and even the script is ready if someone decides to remake Mohanlal’s recent court drama.
For those who don’t know, Damini was released in 1993 and was a huge success at the Indian box office. Apart from commercial success, the film also tasted solid critical success, and over the years, it became a cult classic. The craze of its dialogues and scenes is still there,...

Netflix’s latest South Korean hit Doona! opens in a dream. A sequined Lee Doo-na (Bae Suzy) falls into deep water, sinking into the darkness below. The light filtering through the water’s shimmering surface displays distorted memories of her past as the lead vocalist of Dream Sweet, a K-pop sensation that surrounded her with dancers, flashing lights, and adoring fans. Then she wakes up in a small, dim room — alone.

Not only is Michael Fassbender one of our greatest actors, but the man knows when to admit defeat. The “Alien: Covenant” got honest about “Assassin’s Creed,” the 2016 movie based on the popular video game, calling it a “missed…opportunity.” Fassbender produced the film as well as starred in it, alongside A-list talent like Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Charlotte Rampling, and Michael Kenneth Williams. The film disappointed at the box office, grossing $240.7m worldwide against a budget of $125m. In his B- review of the film, IndieWire’s David Ehrlich wrote “declaring this to be the best video game movie ever made is the kind of backhanded compliment that sounds like hyperbole, but the description fits the bill on both counts.”

Whatever happened to the all-star-cast disaster movie? A staple of the box office charts for a good decade, disaster movies were to the 1970s what the superhero movie may be to the 2010s: a cash cow that was eventually milked dry. Starting today the Quad Cinema in New York is reviving the brand with a terrific series called “Disasterpieces,” featuring eight classics of the genre alongside its greatest parody and two precursors.Disaster movie posters are a genre unto themselves. For the most part they have three major elements: an eye-grabbing tagline—“91,000 People. 33 Exit Gates. One Sniper...”, “One Tiny Spark Becomes a Night of Blazing Suspense”, “Something hit us... the crew is dead... help us, please, please help us!”—a painted backdrop of catastrophe in medias res, and, most importantly, the grid of stars.Disaster movies require a large cast because they require a high body count and a measure...

“Alien: Covenant” didn’t exactly become a cultural phenomenon when it opened earlier this year. Ridley Scott’s latest prequel/sequel in his enduring science-fiction/horror series was met with lukewarm reviews and disappointing box-office returns, which is a shame — it’s the first true “Alien” movie in two decades, and a worthy addition to the xenomorph mythos. In a new video, Jack’s Movie Reviews attempts to diagnose the problem: It doesn’t know what it wants to be.

Chinese censors have cut up to six minutes worth of material from Ridley Scott’s “Alien: Covenant,” including a kiss between two men (or at least two of the same man). Though the movie has been out for a few weeks in the U.S., it was released in China on Friday, about six minutes shorter due to Beijing censors cutting material apparently deemed offensive.

While censorship is a common practice for R-rated movies playing in China, typically it’s violence in action movies that gets the chop. (“Logan” and “Resident Evil: Apocalypse” were heavily cut this year.) Although a few gory alien scenes are missing from “Alien: Covenant,” there was something else amiss:

There has been an awakening – we’ve felt it, revelled in the nostalgia and are now eagerly awaiting December 18. Last night, during Espn’s Monday Night Football, Disney fired up the engines on the new and likely final trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
If moviegoers were sent into a tail-spin after the film’s pair of teaser trailers, then the full-length clip is enough to bring the Internet to its knees. Dancing around the core plot of The Force Awakens, there was plenty to dissect within the 2 minute sizzle reel, and thankfully we now have an array of screengrabs from the trailer to give us a closer look at the action.

Update (6/12/13): The Church of Scientology's media center emailed us with this reaction to the piece:
The myth launched by a handful of self-promoters that After Earth is about the Scientology religion and its tenets is silly nonsense. After Earth has as much to do with Scientology as Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Moby Dick, King Arthur, Homer’s The Odyssey or countless other stories about protagonists overcoming fears and opponents. The Church’s website, www.scientology.org, contains accurate information on the Church and the many social programs it supports.
When the first trailer for the new Will Smith sci-fi epic "After Earth" came out, pundits immediately noticed the surface similarities to the Tom Cruise sci-fi epic "Oblivion," as both films deal with solitary heroes trying to survive on a future version of our own ravaged homeworld. Now, though, a somewhat less obvious parallel is being...

The Man Who Fell To Earth, Nicolas Roeg’s 1976 slice of sci-fi lyricism that contains a classic performance from David Bowie, is out now on Blu-Ray and Owf’s Ed Whitfield devoured the 1080p transfer last week and gave it a huge thumbs up. We can’t recommend the release highly enough and we’re now offering you the chance to win one of three Blu-Ray discs.
Crash landing on Earth from his dying planet, an alien humanoid traveling by the name of Thomas Jerome Newton (Bowie) uses his superior intelligence to build a vast business empire. As he takes on, and beats, every major Us corporation, people can only guess his true purpose – to save his dying world from drought. Newton’s ageless fall from grace, as he becomes prey to lust, alcohol, business rivals and the Us Government makes The Man Who Fell To Earth not only a...

It’s too late for an April Fool’s joke, right? Columbia is really going forward with an M. Night Shyamalan movie starring Will and Jaden Smith? A movie about a boy in the year 3000 trying to save his dad in the year 3000 after their spaceship crashes on a previously abandoned Earth in the year 3000? “The chance to make a scary, science-fiction film starring Jaden and Will is my dream project,” says Shyamalan in the press release, which is surprising, considering Jaden was a year old when The Sixth Sense came out.
Though it’s also surprising Smith would sign up to work with Shyamalan after the critical drubbing his recent films have received (remember M. Night’s “scary, science fiction film” with Mark Wahlberg, The Happening?), the plot certainly sounds up his alley. All of the Fresh King’s recent films have had him heartbroken and isolated from the everyday world,...

Newton’s ageless fall from grace, as he becomes prey to lust, alcohol, business rivals and the Us Government makes The Man Who Fell To Earth not only a bitingly caustic indictment of the modern world but also a poignant commentary on the loneliness of the outsider.

Passion or obsession? Pleasure or pain? Life or death? These are the questions posed by White Collar Sideshow, a musical performance group that uses horror imagery and the sound of creative percussion to impart a message of horror and redemption.
I was recently lucky enough to watch their performance live and was blown away by the combination of images and rhythm these folks use to get their point across.
White Collar Sideshow is the dreamchild of T.D. Benton, The Ringmaster of the show, created after a nightmarish journey through affliction and addiction. This is his sideshow, a trip through his personal hell, presented as a cautionary tale for those who will listen.
Wcs is made up of The Ringmaster, The Faceless Woman, The Mask, and The Leech. Veronica Benton, T.D.'s wife (also The Faceless Woman), describes the show very accurately as "the Blue Man Group meets Rob Zombie...

With "Dancing With the Stars" beating "American Idol" in the ratings this season, "Idol" producers had to do something to woo back the geriatric viewers. So they brought out the big guns: Frank Sinatra! Except Sinatra died in 1998, so instead of wheeling out his rotting corpse, they opted for the next best thing: Harry Connick, Jr. (For my younger readers, he's like Michael Buble, except he's not Canadian and he plays piano really, really well.)
If Sir Anthony Hopkins' and Rob Reiner's attendance was any indication, "Operation: Get the Geezers Back" worked swimmingly. Producers were so happy with Connick's involvement that they even let him say "This is 'American Idol'" instead of Seacrest. (Although it came out more like "Ahdull," thanks to his Louisiana accent.)
Connick brought along his arranger hat, tackling each performer's song with a brand new big band mix. He even brought many of his band members too,...

Last seen getting blinded on the Fox Network's "24", journeying to the center of the earth on the Hallmark Channel, and battling the Andromeda Strain on A&E, Rick Schroder is now taking his silver spoons over to the Sci-Fi Channel to direct Hellhounds.
Set in 500 B.C., Hellhounds tells the tale of Kleitos, a Greek warrior who leads his companions on a mission to rescue his bride Hades and bring her back to life. Standing in their way are the guardians of the underworld, the hellhounds.
Shooting begins on Sunday in Romania on the film written by Paul A. Birkett (Escape Velocity, Crash Landing) with Schroder in the director's chair and Scott Elrod of the recently cancelled "Men in Trees" in the lead role.
Schroder is no novice behind the camera having made his directorial debut with the Native America boxing drama Black Cloud and is currently slated as one...
