Carrie Underwood: Reflection (2025) [+] 90-minute concert filmed at her performance in Las Vegas. Theme is going through the hits of her 2-decade career. Lots of great songs.
Love Clinic (2015) [/] South Korean sex comedy. Gil Sin-seol (Kang Ye-won who I just saw in The Huntresses) is a female urologist who clashes with her medical neighbor Wang Seong-ki (Oh Ji-ho), an OB/GYN. He's impotent except when she's around. She can't seem to find any good men and is impressed when he shows a bit of thoughtfulness. The romance doesn't quite work in a movie timeframe. Ha Joo-hee plays the sexy neighbor In-young and she has several topless scenes.
Pachinko s1 (2022) [-] Drama that follows four generations of a Korean family from when Korea is subjugated under Japanese rule to modern day. It jumps back and forth following specific people in each time period. Good use of subtitles as sometimes speech isn't subtitled if the main listener doesn't understand. A rather serious drama but didn't really interest me although the last couple of episodes are cool as this includes a character living through the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. I'll skip s2.
Joy Sushi - Dragon Ball [-] "deep fried spicy tuna w/parmasan [sic] cheese(5pcs)". $12. It felt and tasted more like a salty meat ball deep fried. Not tasty at all.
