Re-Release Trailer for Comedy ‘The Foul King’ Starring Song Kang-ho
"You think this is a joke?" Blue Finch Films in the UK has debuted a new trailer for a proper re-release of a long lost sports comedy from Korea titled The Foul King. It originally opened in Korea in 2000 but never landed in the US. It also played at TIFF and the 2001 Berlin Film Festival but it was never released in the US and has never arrived in the west (though you can obviously import DVD copies of it). Beloved Korean actor Song Kang-ho stars as Dae-ho, a timid bank clerk who is going nowhere in his everyday life. After meeting a famous former pro wrestler, Dae-ho transforms himself into a Korean wrestling villain. From acclaimed writer / director Kim Jee-woon (of I Saw the Devil, A Tale of Two Sisters, and last year's Cobweb as well). Although he's not talented enough to ever become a top wrestler, Dae-Ho trains diligently at night... and he is turned into the villain known as "The Foul King". The rest is history! The cast includes Jang Jin-Young, Park Sang-Myeon, Jang Hang-Seon, ...

Tessa Thompson Answers Calls in Buscemi’s Film ‘The Listener’ Trailer
"It isn't about me... I'm just hearing their stories, they're the ones living them." Vertical has revealed their trailer for an indie film titled The Listener, a solo drama starring Tessa Thompson as the only person actually in the film. The latest work directed by Steve Buscemi, who also made the underrated Interview back in 2007. After first premiering at festivals in 2022 and playing throughout 2023 on the festival circuit, The Listener is finally set for a proper debut at the end of March this year. Beth is a crisis helpline volunteer that gets on the phone every night, fielding calls from people feeling lonely, broken, and hopeless. During tonight’s shift, the stakes rise: is this the night she will save a hurting soul - or lose one? Tessa Thompson stars as Beth; other voices heard on the phone come from actors Rebecca Hall, Derek Cecil, Margaret Cho, Blu del Barrio, Jamie Hector, and Logan Marshall-Green. It's similar to The Guilty, but with an entirely different premise with Beth and what she goes through on this end of the ...

"With food you can connect anybody." Catch the officiail trailer for a documentary titled Veselka about a restaurant called Veselka. The full title is Veselka: The Rainbow on the Corner at the Center of the World. This premiered earlier in 2024 and already opened in limited theaters a few weeks ago. We're just catching up with it now and happy to feature the trailer anyway (I've been to this place a few times when I lived in NYC!). As the second generation owner of New York's beloved Ukrainian restaurant Veselka (see Google Maps) reluctantly retires after 54 years, his son Jason faces the pressure of stepping into his father's shoes as the war in Ukraine impacts his family & staff. It documents Veselka following the pandemic when it becomes one of the main hubs in the city for supporting Ukrainians after the war breaks out in 2022. The doc is narrated by David Duchovny, and features saxophone solos by David Sanborn. It looks uplifting and charming, not only a good story about a NYC staple, also a story about how ...
How ‘Snack Shack’ Captures Life Before Digital Revolution
Set in Nebraska City in 1991, “Snack Shack” is not a “giant sucking sound” out from the middle of America, as Ross Perot described policy in the early 1990s. It’s just the opposite. It piques the appetite for what makes us human. Many Americans in their mid-lives today were teenagers in the 1990s, and teen …
