Watched South Korean gangster comedy Boss 보스 (2025) at CGV by Regency Theaters in Buena Park this week. Review on my site soon.
Sad to see that CGV Los Angeles has closed down though. Went to see Yadang: The Snitch there earlier this year and it was packed.

Not particularly encouraged with the imminent announcement of Salvatore Foti as the new Sampdoria coach. However the return of Attilio Lombardo, and Nicola Pozzi, to the coaching staff suggests there will be better times ahead.

In the process of writing a review of Yeon Sang-ho's The Ugly 얼굴 (2025) - starring Park Jeong-min - for my own site.
Very fortunate to watch it at CGV Buena Park by Regency Theaters.
Still prefer watching films in the cinema.

I thoroughly recommend the new documentary John Candy: I Like Me.
Poignant and emotional, a great watch. Loved watching his films growing up, especially Uncle Buck and Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

Some big names not contributing much or indeed anything at all in the Ryder Cup.

Great to see Cremonese doing so well on their return to Serie A. Two goals up at home to Sassuolo after last week's shock win at Milan.
Samp greats Gianluca Vialli and Attilio Lombardo both played for the club before moving to the Blucerchiati.

Love this from the official Serie A site. Some great shirts this season.

My Daughter Is a Zombie 좀비딸 (2025) exceeded my expectations. Not just a 'genre film' - whatever that means. Absolutely fantastic.
Jo Jung-suk immense yet again. Review on my own site coming soon.
Watched it at CGV Buena Park by Regency Theaters in California.

Gianluca Vialli. Sampdoria great, willing to do anything to win and still smile about it. There will never be another player like him.
Always my favourite.

Pic from Divin Codino on the Gianluca Vialli Facebook group page.

My introduction to South Korean cinema was Park Chan-wook's brutal Sympathy for Mr Vengeance 복수는 나의 것 (2002).
He remains one of the world's greatest directors.
Excited to see his latest film,
No Other Choice 어쩔수가없다 (2025), starring Lee Byung-hun and Son Ye-jin.

Jo Jung-suk is now one of the most reliable comedy actors in South Korea after brilliant performances in My Annoying Brother 형 (2016), Exit 엑시트 (2019) and Pilot 파일럿 (2024).

I experienced first hand the passion of BTS fans when I lived in South Korea. An incredibly committed group.

It's still playing at the CGV by Regency Theaters in Buena Park, California at the top of The Source Mall.
More than just a superhero movie and much better than the countless Marvel and DC clones.

Absolutely loved Hi-Five 하이파이브 (2025).
Much more than just a superhero film.
Watched it at CGV Buena Park by Regency Theaters - it's open again after a temporary closure.
Going to put a review on my site soon.

Yoo Hae-jin (also Hai-jin) 유해진 is one of the most versatile and talented actors in South Korea. I particularly enjoyed his performances in A Taxi Driver (2017), Love+Sling (2018) and Exhuma (2024). He stars again alongside Le Je-hoon in Big Deal (2025) 소주전쟁.

Watched the film at the newly reopened CGV by Regency in Buena Park, CA. It was closed for a while but is now open again. It's located on the top floor of The Source mall. Very thankful to be able to watch Korean films at the cinema.
