The Grandmaster - Kung Fu at its most artistic - 8*/10

The Grandmaster is a Chinese movie that combines powerfully artistic visuals, great martial choreography, philosophy, and drama, in one story. The action looks much more realistic than most Kung Fu flicks, but it tends to be a little long for those looking for lots of fights. The slow pace is, however, right on the money, given enough room for all the great acting.

A must see for those who love martial arts movie, a good watch for others.

The Thieves — A very complex caper with lots of surprises — 7*/10

The Thieves is a South Korean movie that will demand your full attention.

The good. An ensnaring story line that will push you to see it to the end with a ever greater astonishments. The scenario is incredibly well built with plots within plots, revenge, love, distrust, and new twists at every turn. No character is safe from death. A Ton of action. Good editing and camera work. Nice sets.

The bad. A few cliché. Shallow motivations.

The ugly. The afro-hair Chinese thief who's not a very good actor.

The result. Great entertainment, but don't expect any depth.

The Housemaid — A rich Korean family, a new housemaid, and sex — 8*/10

The Housemaid (original title: Hanyo) will present to you a young woman trying to take her destiny into her own hands. She lets her desire run free and the result is a very hot sex scene.

The scenario is nothing new, but the plot is interesting is not always obvious. The intrigue of that high class family is very interesting.

The house is gorgeous, the setting push, and the actors beautiful for the most part.

If you're in the mood for a asian subtitled drama about the a rich family and its secret with a dark humorless story and a steamy undertone of sex, you should watch it.
