Nalnari jongbujeon (2008)
Romance and a out-of-time feudal family
A young girl gets pregnant by a boy who turns out to be the next in line grandson of an ancient feudal family who are living a lifestyle from centuries ago. The boy and girl plan to get married and she is interned in the family's recluse, being educated in the old traditional ways. This does not sit well with the girl who makes many hilarious mistakes. One day a crisis leads to less strict conditions for the girl who in turn starts to appreciates the values of traditional family life, so aloof from her own family's single quest to make money. In the end even the girl's father accepts this and refutes his old ways, while in the meantime gangs of his enemies are conquered by the defending feudal family.
This movie is interesting enough, although the plot is rather straightforward and there are not any surprising twists. Still this movie is highly enjoyable, not least because of lead actress Jung-ah Park who is stunningly beautiful as ever.
Jaws in Japan (2009)
More Psycho than Shark
Even though this movie's title may suggest otherwise, as does its alternative title "Jaws in Japan", this movie is much more a psychological thriller than a hardcore, fully-fanged shark flick.
A substantial percentage is hand-made home-video-style footage, shaking and out-of-control camera and all. This is offset though by the quiet shots in between, and the slowness of how the rather minimal plot is built up. Not that I've found it the least bit boring though -- plenty of bikini girl, and tension rises throughout until the climax at the end, which it let's say quite something in its own right again.

Porn Shoot Massacre (2009)
Excellent
With a title like that, the movie couldn't have been better.
Complete B-movie style, with the ridiculous dialog, no-budget filming, and the sound effects are superb (B-style). Even voice sometimes goes to only one of your speakers - there's stereo for you !
Lots of young women skin too - for as long as it stays on ..
The psychological development of the characters as the story unfolds is near zero, as most of them appear sequentially in the movie, and are massacred before the next comes in. Even the porn shoot staff itself is not immune to this. At the end of the movie, nothing is left uncertain yet nothing remains unclear.
Highly recommended for cult movie lovers.
Boston Girls (2010)
Like Baise Moi
This movie is rather like the French gem Baise Moi (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0249380/), although far less impressive.
The Boston theme is quite prominent, apart from the title there's Boston-this and Boston-that all the time, including the accents employed by the actors.
Camera work is "original" in that sometimes it uses a slightly skewed angle, and when the camera is moving the result is not very fluid.
Otherwise this movie is entertaining enough. Girl murderers, police, cookies, some tits. No reason not to watch this if you're into this kind of thing.
